Technica, U.S.A. Recognized for Outstanding Performance, Earns Sixth Consecutive ASMPT Award for Sales and Service Excellence
January 16, 2023 | Technica USAEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Technica, U.S.A. (Technica), a leading electronics industry representative and distributor, announced today that it has been honored by its principal ASMPT for demonstrating exceptional sales performance and customer support in the Americas. The award, which was presented to Technica last month at the annual ASMPT sales meeting, marks Technica’s sixth consecutive recognition of its stellar execution.
Technica represents ASMPT’s market-leading SIPLACE placement platforms and DEK printing equipment in Northern California, Northern Nevada, North West Territory and the Mountain States and has consistently provided customers with deep technical insight, leading them to an informed equipment investment decision that aligns with current and future technology demands. Working in partnership with ASMPT direct sales representatives, this dedication has resulted in significant market share increases across a broad customer base.
Frank Medina, Technica President and CEO, explains the unique relationship the two organizations share and its impact on solutions-based success. “In my experience, the ASMPT management team is among the most professional, responsive, and knowledgeable in the industry,” he said, noting the strong collaboration between the companies. “Cooperation on demonstrations & training conducted at the ASMPT Suwanee GA facility and the Technica Demo Center in San Jose, CA has allowed us to do an outstanding job in developing customer relationships. In addition, ASMPT’s software and equipment innovation consistently lead the market. We are excited to introduce customers to several new technologies in the coming months.”
ASMPT will debut its new printer platform, the TQ L, designed for full-shift, minimal intervention precision stencil printing at IPC APEX EXPO 2023. This, in addition to ASMPT’s market-leading SX placement platform and WORKS workflow optimization software, will help fuel growth in the Americas region.
“There is a significant amount of high-value electronics assembly business moving back to the USA,” Medina said in summary. “Open automation capabilities, high reliability, ROI, and scalability are essential for these manufacturers, and ASMPT delivers. We are honored to have been recognized by our long-time partner, and look forward to working toward a winning performance for a seventh consecutive year!”
