He brings knowledge, experience, and networking to ASC as he assumes leadership of the new division.
Mr. Vardya stated, “We are excited to have Bob join the ASC team. HIs vast amounts of global sourcing knowledge and experience make him the perfect candidate to lead the global sourcing division. Although we have been sourcing PCBs from all over the world for several years, we will now expand our offerings to included sourcing of other products including cable and wire harnesses, plastic and metal fabrication products, batteries, magnetics and more. I am certain that with his successful background in sourcing products from all over the world, Bob is the right person to lead the division into a successful future.”

His present position is vice president/managing partner of M-Wave Controls, LLC based in Aurora, Illinois. MWC designs and manufactures custom controls for food service equipment and various other industries requiring these services. He has also held the position of general manager at Hamilton Hallmark (div. Avnet Electronics) in Chicago where he gained a great deal of experience in electronic component distribution.
