With a product line that features more than 750 tools for optical inspection and precision assembly, Aven, Inc. has made a name for itself as a leading precision technology provider. In 1997, Aven underwent its first progression, shifting from traditional workbench tools to industrial electronics supplies. They then turned their focus to precision tools for optical inspection and precision assembly. Today, Aven's product line includes stationary and portable microscopes, video inspection systems, specialty high-resolution digital and video cameras, lenses, illuminated magnifiers, software for image analysis and tools for precision assembly.

While they manufacture a broad product line of optical inspection equipment components, Aven's true value to customers is realized in their positioning as a full-service technology provider. As a result of years of comprehensive research and development, Aven has expanded its expertise in the realm of design and customized configuration of advanced video inspection systems. Their solution-based experts possess the ability to recommend and create complete optical systems according to customers’ needs and budgets. They also develop new products based on customer specifications.

Hardware Specialty's global network and Aven's diverse and extensive product mix allow us to meet the needs of the optical measurement and electronic equipment markets. Aven also provides a variety of ancillary services such as product assembly, custom parts and tooling, and distribution, all of which are coordinated from their headquarters in Michigan.
