Founder and CEO

Dave Mason

Dave founded ASC in 1988, after serving as engineering manager at Baron Autoclave (formerly Baron Blakeslee). A controls engineer by training from the University of Michigan, he wrote CPC, Flextime, and other in-house engineering packages, and developed the Econoclave® concept along with many of the equipment and control products ASC sells.

Today he divides his time between management, new product development, and making every department in the company better.

Team values

How we build ASC

The equipment is highly engineered, but it takes people working together to make it something customers can depend on. These seven values guide how we work and how we treat one another.

Safety
We look out for one another.
Nothing we build matters more than the people building it. When we see a hazard, we speak up and make it right together.
Positive attitude
We bring a positive approach.
Complex equipment brings challenges. We meet them with respect for one another and a willingness to find solutions.
Leadership
Everyone can lead.
Leadership isn't a job title. It means taking responsibility, setting an example, and helping others succeed.
Eager to learn
We never stop learning.
Technology and our industry keep changing. We stay curious and share what we know.
Team player
We succeed together.
Engineering, fabrication, controls, service, and sales work toward one goal, and every contribution matters.
Efficiency
We respect time and commitments.
Plan carefully, communicate clearly, and keep looking for better ways to work, so we deliver what we promise.
Quality work
We take pride in what we build.
Whether it's a weld, a control panel, or a line of code, we want to be proud of the work we leave behind.
Built by people who care
Since 1988, ASC has grown from a small aerospace service and controls company into a global manufacturer. The principles haven't changed: work safely, keep learning, help one another, and be proud of what you build.
