Aspex Incorporated opens a regional office in Shanghai, this office will provide sales and service support locally in the fast growing China market. The SpinTrak™ has been widely sold in China to some of the largest well known fiber producers and the leading foreign brand imported into China for automatic spinneret inspection.

Aspex Incorporated opened a new office in Mumbai India to provide better sales and service support globally. Since this time, Aspex Incorporated has achieved the highest percentage of spinneret inspection systems sold in India by supplying most of the filament and fiber producers with SpinTrak™ systems.

By 2001, with the growth of the fiber market and production beginning to shift to countries with lower cost labor, Aspex Incorporated surpassed sales of more than 100 systems worldwide. Many of the earlier SpinTrak™ systems supplied in developing markets were transferred or purchased by larger companies from Western Countries who invested in new plants in lower cost developing countries.
