What Tako Astatic Technology Sdn Bhd does

TAKO Astatic Technology Sdn Bhd is a Malaysia-headquartered manufacturer founded in 1979 that specializes in electrostatic discharge (ESD) control products, ultra-clean medical packaging, and cleanroom consumables. Its catalog spans three pillars: (1) ESD products including conductive and antistatic packaging bags, static shielding and moisture barrier bags, ESD gloves, safety shoes with permanent ESD properties, garments, workstations, grounding equipment, ionization equipment (including the proprietary Zap line such as Zap-Air needle-less ionizer and Zap-Belt ESD belt), and test instruments; (2) ultra-clean medical and cleanroom packaging including Easy-Tear, Easy-Peel, indicator-ink pouches, medical paper, coated Tyvek, and thermoforming films produced in Cleanroom Class 100 with in-house extruded medical-grade HDPE; and (3) the ESCAPE program, a professional services offering covering on-site ESD testing, auditing, training, troubleshooting, and lightning/surge protection design. The company has filed 30 patent applications, holds ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certifications, and sells across Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, India, China, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Europe, and the USA through wholly-owned subsidiaries and a direct sales-led model.

The company generates revenue through three streams: one-time product sales of ESD consumables and medical packaging, professional services revenue from the ESCAPE consultancy and lightning/surge protection installation, and indirect distribution of third-party ionization equipment (Simco-Ion) as part of the product portfolio. Its primary customer segments are electronics and semiconductor manufacturers requiring ESD compliance to ANSI/ESD S20.20 and IEC 61340-5-1, and medical device and healthcare packaging customers requiring sterile, validated cleanroom packaging. Distribution is direct via the Malaysia HQ and seven regional subsidiaries, supported by technical sales staff including a Ph.D-level ESD management consultant and NARTE certified engineers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is contact-based, consistent with a consultative enterprise sales motion rather than transactional e-commerce.
