Amistar Corporation (AMTA) designs, develops, manufactures, markets, and services automatic assembly equipment primarily for the electronics manufacturing industry, including surface mount technology (SMT) systems, pick-and-place machinery, thru-hole automation equipment, first article inspection tools, and automated labeling systems with related supplies. The company offers core products such as electronics manufacturing systems, DataPlace automated labeling solutions, identification labels for production traceability, prototyping equipment, and small- to medium-batch production machinery. Headquartered in the San Diego area of California, Amistar targets printed circuit board (PCB) assemblers and electronic manufacturers seeking high-speed production, entry-level solutions, and precision labeling for accountability in assembly processes.
In a significant operational change, Amistar sold its machine division assets to Amistar Automation, Inc., a successor entity founded in 2008 by former company veterans, allowing continued focus on automation solutions while transitioning key operations. The company now operates primarily through over-the-counter (OTC) markets following earlier delisting from major exchanges, with no reported funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, or new product launches in the last 1-2 years. Amistar maintains a presence serving global electronics assembly customers, with historical operations extending to Asia through sales and service networks.
