Happy Holidays and Best WishesFor a Prosperous 2012 from TEAM A.T.E.
As 2011 draws near a close, we at TEAM A.T.E. want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for both your business, and your friendship. Without the strong working relationships we’ve developed with our customers we wouldn’t be able to continue to serve you year after year.
2011 has certainly been an interesting year. It started off somewhat slowly but picked up steam as the financial markets recovered to a degree. With fewer customers placing orders for new equipment, the used equipment market saw increased demand among the more popular test platforms. We saw stronger demand for equipment in Q2 and Q3, while here in Q4 customers are turning more conservative and protecting capital. I am curious to see if our industry…and the economy in general…. can develop some momentum as we head into 2012.
To recap the past year: We’ve added an online parts store  for our board test customers, where we have made it quick and easy for you to order spare parts. We’ve also expanded our abilities in Asia by opening a facility in Singapore. In our Hsinchu, Taiwan office, our team has a talented staff of engineers who can help custom configure and demo a variety of test platforms. In China, we’ve opened offices in both Shanghai and Shenzhen. This is helping us to better serve our customers within China, as well as assists us in sourcing equipment that is in demand from customers elsewhere.
As you develop forecasts for 2012, let your account manager know what you might be looking for. With a good idea of your configuration requirements and budget, we can help to develop some options to consider that not only meet your requirement and timing, but also can result in significant savings.
From all of us at TEAM A.T.E. to all of our customers present and future; we wish you all the best this Holiday Season. We appreciate and sincerely value the relationships we’ve have developed with many of you. We are thankful for your faith in us, and we very much look forward to working with you in 2012.
-Greg Wendell, Account Manager
