Wire Harness
AssemTech Inc. is a busy and growing harness assembly shop in West Chicago, IL. The company has a 12,000-square-foot assembly area and employs 20 full-time harness assemblers - far cry from its early days back in 1986, when founder Chuck Hall and various family members assembled harnesses in his garage.
