Auto-ID SND BHD is pleased to partner with TrenStar to accomplish this goal."

In the near term, both companies will continue to expand upon this foundation. TrenStar indicates that it looks forward to continuing to enhance its processes and technology as it works with Auto-ID SDN BHD and other providers in the Southeast Asian market.
