Additionally, it provides ultraviolet (UV) curing and drying technology for specialty coatings, semiconductor materials, and paints. Conversely, the ATS segment develops automated fluid dispensing systems for attachment, protection, and coating applications, along with complementary gas plasma treatment systems for surface preparation. This division is also a producer of precision manual and semi-automated dispensers, and a range of minimally invasive medical delivery devices, such as plastic molded syringes, cartridges, tips, fluid connection components, tubing, balloons, and catheters. Moreover, ATS delivers advanced inspection solutions, including bond testers and automated optical, acoustic microscopy, and x-ray systems, primarily serving the semiconductor and printed circuit board industries. Nordson reaches its global customer base through a combined strategy involving its own direct sales team, an extensive network of distributors, and independent sales representatives.
