Industry Veteran Scott Fillebrown Joins Southwest Systems Technology
November 8, 2018 | Southwest Systems Technology (SST)Estimated reading time: 1 minute

Southwest Systems Technology (SST), the resource for electronic and semiconductor manufacturing in the Great Southwest and a premiere manufacturer’s representative for capital equipment, tools, consumables and ergonomic solutions, is pleased to announce that Scott Fillebrown has joined the company as managing director.
Fillebrown is the former chief technology officer and president/CEO of a high-technology design and EMS company.
Dee Claybrook, founder and CEO of SST, said, “Scott is a hands-on manager who takes the time to understand technology and the processes required so that SST delivers customers the best possible solution. Scott is responsible for the day-to-day operations of SST, including managing the sales team and working with principles and customers.” Claybrook continued, “Adding Scott allows me to focus more on selling and completes the vision of moving Southwest Systems into our 31st year of business and beyond.”
Adding professionals with years of industry experience is a strategy that began when Will Palser joined Southwest Systems earlier this year. Palser’s career background includes owning and running an EMS company located in Richardson, Texas, with prior experience selling electronic components and sub-systems. Claybrook added that with the company’s associates in Austin, El Paso, McAllen and Guadalajara, it is moving into a renewed stage.
“With our collective knowledge of EMS manufacturing processes, coupled with Dee’s approach to long-term relationships, I believe the company’s future is very bright,” said Fillebrown.

Marcy’s Musings: The Relentless Pursuit of Perfection
05/16/2025 | Marcy LaRont -- Column: Marcy's MusingsFew things in this world are or will ever be perfect. For me, perfection might look like the vivid colors that only Mother Nature can create, the birth of a child, and the inner workings of the human brain. But all else in this physical, tangible world is, in one way or another, inherently flawed. Even the “flawless” diamond is more about the sheer awe and beauty of beholding near-perfection than perfection itself. In many ways, this truth provides great texture and diversity to our world. Yet, we still strive for perfection, and it’s in this that we learn and achieve higher heights than we otherwise would have.
