Space Specialized Quality and Distribution
Providing Space Solutions for over 40 years
NASAM has represented U.S. high-reliablity semiconductor manufacturers for over 40 years with a particular focus on the Japanese space market. Our vendors benefit from our active, targeted marketing and design-in engineering successes. NASAM develops mutually beneficial partnerships with U.S. vendors both by introducing new technologies to foreign markets and expanding existing sales.
Our Sales team and industry-veteran Quality Team / FAEs work closely with our customers, effectively outsourcing all sales, promotion, and technical support for our partner vendors. As a U.S. company that procures domestically and exports to our customers directly, NASAM also assumes the regulatory responsibilities and payment term risks.
Below is a sample listing of our partner manufacturers. NASAM has the ability to supply countless other semiconductor manufacturers to our customers. No matter the part or manufacturer, NASAM will always perform 100% visual and data inspection as part of our Quality services.
AMD (Xilinx) is the worldwide leader in adaptive and intelligent computing with more than 30 years heritage serving the Aerospace & Defense market.
