Technica USA, a leading provider of materials, equipment, and services for the printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, assembly, MEMS, and semiconductor industries, is pleased to announce the appointment of Jason Perry as its new President.
With 26 years of experience at Technica, most recently serving as Director of Sales, Perry brings deep industry knowledge and a proven track record of leadership. His appointment marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as the company accelerates its growth and expansion strategy.
Frank Medina, who previously held the role of President and CEO, will transition to Vice Chairman. In this role, he will work closely with Perry, the Board of Directors, and key supply partners to advance the company’s strategic initiatives.
“As one of the original founders of Technica, which was established 40 years ago, I take great pride in passing the leadership to Jason,” said Frank Medina. “His expertise, dedication, and vision make him the ideal person to guide Technica into the future.”
Perry expressed enthusiasm about the company’s direction, stating, “I am highly optimistic about the future of Technica and the industries we serve. We are privileged to represent and distribute products from some of the most respected companies in the markets we serve. With Elite Materials Co. Ltd. (EMC) having controlling interest in Technica, we are uniquely positioned to leverage their world-class management practices, resources and proven strategies that helped EMC surpass $2 billion in sales in 2024.”
As part of its growth strategy, Technica plans to expand its team by hiring 10–15 new employees over the next 12–15 months in key areas such as sales, equipment service, and product specialization.
Medina concluded, “I have full confidence in Jason’s ability to lead Technica into this next phase of success.”
