U.S. Representative Ed Royce

U.S. Representative Ed Royce (R-Fullerton) visited the headquarters of X-ray inspection systems manufacturer Astrophysics, Inc., today. Astrophysics is headquartered in the City of Industry, California, where all of its products are assembled exclusively. Rep. Royce toured the company's headquarters, met with Astrophysics' executives and employees, and viewed a live demonstration of the company’s next generation counter-terrorism technology.

“Astrophysics is a company making products that keep us all safe, and it's doing it right here in our backyard – growing the economy and creating high paying jobs in Southern California,” said Rep. Royce. “While our country has the best educated and most productive workforce in the world, policies that promote STEM education at our schools and lessen regulatory burdens for American businesses will ensure that success stories like Astrophysics are far more common.”

Astrophysics employs over 200 workers in the United States and the company’s systems are used in more than 100 countries at airport checkpoints, courthouses, sporting events and sea ports, making it one of the largest exporters of X-ray technology globally.
