IAS (Industrial Automation Specialists) began in a small rented office in Newport News, Virginia back in 1992. Since then, owner Kathy Burton and Vice President of Operations Preston Burton have built a reputation for accomplishing the impossible. With the motto, “There is always a way,” IAS Corp. continues to grow and now operates out of a 15,000 square foot full service facility in the NASA / Langley Research and Development Park in Hampton, VA. Additional fully equipped machine shop locations in Chester, Virginia, and in Houston and Humble, Texas offer custom-built machines, automation systems, and quality control equipment in use world-wide.
