ASMAC was founded originally in 1998 as a research center, the Advanced Surface and Materials Analysis Centre at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, to support materials R&D in industry. In 1999, ASMAC became ISO 9001 certified. In 2004, the ASMAC operation was spun off as a high-tech start-up, and ASMAC Limited was formed and owned by the CUHK Foundation Limited. In 2007, the ownership of ASMAC Limited was changed to the present partnership structure heavily involving the actual operation team.
