(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 11, 2010 ) SAN DIEGO, Calif. – The Technology Services Industry Association (TSIA), the technology services industry’s largest and most vibrant association, has welcomed Satisloh North America to its growing membership community. TSIA, formed from the October 2009 merger of AFSMI, SSPA, and TPSA, now represents the largest and most influential association in the technology services industry, bringing together a rich heritage spanning more than three decades of servicing the needs of professionals across the full spectrum of technology services disciplines.

Satisloh has joined TSIA to obtain the benefits of benchmarking, collaboration, and research that only TSIA can provide. As TSIA continues to build out the medical technology market segment of its membership base, Satisloh is looking forward to becoming a key contributor to the development of deliverables to the community.

“Satisloh North American customers can be assured that as active TSIA members the services we develop and deliver will set a new standard for the ophthalmic industry,” said Michael Olmsted, Satisloh vice president of services and quality. “Our membership also provides Satisloh numerous education and networking opportunities to continually enhance our service and support.”

The 2005 merger of two highly regarded optical manufacturing companies—Satis Vacuum and LOH Optical Machinery—united more than 120 years of experience into a new company: Satisloh. The combination of long-term experience, innovation, and expert knowledge has created a strong driving force for the future of optical manufacturing.
