Hanwha Techwin Automation Americas, formerly Samsung C&T Automation, recently announced the ‘3 Kings’—three reps who go above and beyond to support and build the brand.
“We appreciate and value all our rep partners, but this year Hanwha decided to select the three top performing reps to reign as our three kings,” commented Jonny Nichols, Director of Sales & Marketing, Hanwha. “We made this announcement at our sales meeting during IPC APEX EXPO in San Diego.”
The three kings are:
Ron Torenko of Torenko & Associates. Torenko & Associates has been specializing in capital equipment since 1977. This gives our principals the advantage of our people spending 100% of their time on selling equipment and not being diverted to consumables. Torenko has also been awarded Hanwha’s Top Gun rep award two consecutive years: 2018 and 2019.
Kurt Whitlock of Kurt Whitlock Associates. For the 40 years, Kurt Whitlock Associates has searched the world for cutting edge companies to represent and distribute to electronics assembly customers and potential markets. Their array of companies provide unmatched solutions to meet high volume, high mix, and mid- to low-volume requirements with the same level of service and technical support.
And last but not least, Murray Percival Jr. of the Murray Percival Company. Murray Percival Company is a third-generation family owned business that is celebrating their 60th year in business this year. They are currently the leading supplier to the Midwest's electronics industry, offering thousands of capital and distribution products as well as the industry’s leading process enabler.

11/22/2024 | Dan Feinberg, I-Connect007In my first article of this special series, I wrote a synopsis of the IPC Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame (HOF) Award, along with a commentary on its first few members, particularly Pritchard. Over the years, IPC members who have contributed significantly to IPC and our industry have been awarded this high honor and recognition. Though many early HOF members have passed away and are unknown to today’s IPC membership, their contributions still resonate. Over the coming months, I look forward to researching and reporting on IPC Hall of Fame members and their contributions. This month, I highlight Patty Goldman.

Enjoy the Journey: PCB Design Instructor Kris Moyer on His Sustainable Lifestyle
11/19/2024 | Michelle Te, IPC CommunityWhen I contacted IPC design instructor Kris Moyer to discuss his sustainable lifestyle, he responded to my text with a call. "I'm calling you from about 8,000 feet, sitting at the foot of Mammoth Lakes," he told me. “My friends and I are about to get in the pool for the afternoon." Kris can do this because he actually lives full-time in his travel-trailer at this campground. He's now a permanent camper, taking him anywhere the winds blow—and where there's strong internet service—so he can teach his PCB design classes, offer expert interviews, and live off the land.
