In business since the early 80s, ASTRO’s customers also include large companies, universities, and research organizations. Family Office Ownership is absentee. The owners enjoy a strong management team. They worked with them to transition the company from purely prototype to production parts over the last 10 years. They’ve also worked through transitioning the work force from older prototype machinists to younger production machinists.
