“Our services have significantly evolved in pace with our industry over the past 30 years,” acknowledges Robert Boguski, Datest’s President. “What started as a small ICT programming operation in 1984 has grown to today’s multi-platform, multi-skillset test engineering facility, offering a wide variety of test and inspection applications for diverse and demanding requirements. For example, where once we handled only the front end of board production testing, by means of ICT of product fresh ‘off-the-line,’ today we handle the back end as well through our failure analysis and bonepile rehabilitation services. Our willingness to evolve, adapt and grow with ever-changing industry requirements positions Datest well for the next 30 years.”
