About Us
OUR STORY
Automatic Specialties, Inc. (ASI) was founded in 1965 by the Moineau family with just a few four-slide machines, a handful of engineering jobs, and a big vision. Back then, the office shared space with the shop floor—phones were answered only after shutting down the machines. But with grit, creativity, and a dedication to quality, ASI began to grow.
By the mid-1970s, ASI had expanded its footprint and team, hiring skilled tool and die makers and operators, and adding equipment to meet increasing demand. One of our first high-volume products was a wire plant pot holder—simple, effective, and built to last.
Over the decades, ASI has evolved by embracing technology, innovation, and changing customer needs. The development of our Guardian Angel Window Guards further showcased our ability to bring safety-driven, practical solutions to market.
In 2020, the company entered a new chapter under the ownership of Peter Mongeau, who continues to lead ASI with the same small-town values and close-knit culture that have defined us for over half a century. Many of our employees have been with us for over 10 years, a testament to the supportive environment and shared pride in our work.
Today, ASI combines nearly 60 years of wire forming expertise with modern manufacturing technology to deliver high-quality, custom solutions. From prototyping to high-volume production, our 25,000 foot facility is equipped to support your manufacturing needs. We’ve mastered the art of saving customers time and money by minimizing tooling costs, using advanced technology, and improving manufacturability to perform multiple operations—efficiently and cost-effectively.
Our in-house engineering team works closely with clients to design solutions that meet both performance and budget goals. Whether you come to us with a sketch, a sample, or a full blueprint, we’re here to collaborate, problem-solve, and deliver.
We’re proud of our heritage, but even more excited about what lies ahead. ASI continues to grow through innovation, adaptability, and a deep commitment to quality, service, and strong partnerships.
Let’s FORM something together.
