Owens Design Update
Owens Design
is now AIR
New name. Same people, expertise, and service.
We’re proud to say that Owens Design has been acquired by leading automation solution provider, Automated Industrial Robotics (AIR). Overall, this move adds additional capabilities, engineering expertise, and technical depth to our Silicon Valley facility. You’ll enjoy the same service, innovation, and relationships you’re used to from Owens Design, and now gain access to:
innovation and scale since 1979.
in Ireland, two in the US, and one in UK.
cross-functional team for each project.
Capabilities
