## Summary

ASI's May 5, 2025 announcement launching ASI Construction with SoftBank Group Corp., and the related June 12, 2025 opening of a Lehi, Utah office — positioning the 25-year-old Mendon company within Silicon Slopes.

## Useful Claims

- ASI launched ASI Construction, a new business unit, with SoftBank Group Corp. to develop and operate a fleet of autonomous construction vehicles in the U.S. using the Mobius platform.
- ASI was founded in 2000 as a spinout of Utah State University; headquarters and a 100-acre proving ground are in Mendon/Petersboro, northern Utah, with offices in Lehi, UT and Fort Worth, TX.
- The company describes itself as the worldwide leader in industrial vehicle automation and counts John Deere and CNH among clients; it sold the remainder of ASI Mining to Epiroc in 2024.
- A June 12, 2025 release announced the new Lehi (Salt Lake metro) office, citing rapid workforce growth.
- A third-party (LinkedIn) profile lists ~299 employees (reported +73.5% YoY) and ~$32.4M annual revenue — unverified figures useful only as rough scale indicators.

## Reliability Notes

Company press releases plus trade coverage establish the SoftBank construction unit, the Epiroc mining divestiture, and the Lehi office with good reliability. Headcount and revenue figures come from an aggregated LinkedIn profile and should be treated as weak, date-sensitive estimates, not audited numbers. SoftBank's exact stake and governance role in ASI Construction are not detailed publicly.
