Description

This is an established, debt-free manufacturing business specializing in the design, engineering, manufacturing, and distribution of patented, standard, and custom card readers for niche electronic equipment. The company's innovative design allows for universal application of its magnetic head assembly and single electronic board types across various reader series.
