Associates’ Corner - Astrocom Electronics

Astrocom Electronics began in 1961 with three employees, and today produces their communications equipment in a modern plant in Oneonta, NY, with more than 65,000 square feet of design and manufacturing space. The Astrocom staff has the means and ability to develop and produce superior communications equipment for a sophisticated market.

Astrocom Electronics was founded on the concept of specialized electronic design and manufacturing using the newest techniques and ideas in producing communications equipment to better service their customers. That concept continues today and enables Astrocom to provide such equipment to space programs, the military, municipal police departments, and industry in a worldwide market.

One of the keystones of success at Astrocom in developing and manufacturing outstanding communications equipment is its use of lean manufacturing techniques. One of the uses for these techniques at Astrocom is for quick modification of existing designs and/or drawings in response to customer needs.

The production capabilities of Astrocom combine all the efforts and talents of engineering design, R&D and quality control systems to produce the products that make Astrocom the innovators in communications. As with all Astrocom employees, production workers are carefully selected and trained to perform the accurate and demanding work to produce quality products. Every individual must know and do his job accurately to achieve the end product.

In 2008 Astrocom’s management indicated that they believed it was advisable to pursue certification to the ISO 9001:2008 quality system to add to the quality of their products.

Starting in February 2008 Astrocom began the process to meet the ISO 9001:2008 standard. Using AM&T and DLS Quality Technology Associates, Inc. (DLS) in August 2009 Astrocom was successful in becoming certified to the ISO 9001:2008 standard.

Astrocom’s proven methods, coupled with the active and enthusiastic search for the newest and best ideas of communication, will continue to make Astrocom products the standard by which others are judged.
