Torenko and Associates, a leading manufacturers’ representative organization specializing in the sales and marketing of premier electronic assembly equipment, production tools, test, repair, inspection, and consumable products, announces that it has signed on its 90th Mexican national account for SMT equipment.

We have constantly promoted one-stop shopping and provided the best service and support in the market.”
Torenko has been covering Mexico for more than 30 years when the first SMT lines were in Delphi, RCA and Zenith Electronics along the border. The company followed the growth of SMT into the interior, along with the SMT engineers from the border. “We are grateful to our principals and will try to continue to bring the best in equipment, service and support to Mexico. We look forward to line 100,” Torenko added.
