History
The former Robotic Process Systems operated for more than 20 years, successfully delivering automated robotic soldering equipment to a global client base. In the 1990’s, the company was the first to introduce Selective Soldering to North America. Selective Soldering became the company’s primary expertise and passion. From 2001 to 2006, the company sold selective soldering systems under an exclusive private label partnership with Tyco. The Tyco relationship yielded tremendous growth in the business with new clients from around the globe. In late 2006, Robotic Process Systems separated from Tyco and began to rebuild its distribution channels and brand awareness.

In 2007, Reed Gaither, the CEO of RPS, and Kari Novatney, the CFO, led an investment group that purchased Robotic Process Systems. As a result of the investment, RPS received capital and management to help the company continue its growth. Today, RPS is managed for long-term growth and profitability through a dedication to customer service, prudent investments in the future, and the continued advancement of leading-edge selective soldering technologies.
