Advantest (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (ASP) was incorporated in 1986 as a fully owned subsidiary of Advantest Corporation (AT), Japan. AT is listed both on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. ASP was set up to promote direct sales, maintenance, application support and services of Automated Test Equipment and Electronic Measuring Instruments for our customers in South East Asia. Service offices in Malaysia and the Philippines were set up in August 1992 and October 1997 respectively to better support our valued customers in those countries. In 2004 and 2011, with the expanding business in this region, ASP setup service offices in Thailand and Vietnam for full support coverage on South East Asia.

In addition to its sales and marketing activities for South East Asia, ASP also serves as the Regional Headquarters (RHQ) for Advantest’s operations in Asia (outside Japan) supporting subsidiaries in Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Korea and China.
