Congratulations to Pierre-Jean Albrieux, who received the 2024 IPC Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame Award. The award is given to individuals in recognition of the highest level of achievement, extraordinary contributions, and distinguished service to IPC and toward the advancement of the industry, including helping to create a spirit of mutual esteem, respect, and recognition among members consistent with the goals and mission of IPC. This is the highest level of recognition that IPC can give to an individual and is based on exceptional merit over the long term.
Pierre-Jean is president of IFTEC, a specialized training center in France for the manufacturing of printed circuit boards. It was founded by his father in 1967, and he owns the company with his brother Philippe. His sons help run the company: Jonathan is the CEO, and Cecile is the administrative and financial director.
In this interview, Marcy LaRont talks with Pierre-Jean to learn more about his company, his connection with IPC, and how he feels about receiving this honor.
Marcy LaRont: Pierre-Jean, congratulations on this very important and prestigious award. What does receiving this highly esteemed Hall of Fame Award mean to you?
Pierre-Jean Albrieux: Thank you, Marcy. It's a great honor because this award, through the IPC, is given by my peers.
I have great pride, and it was a big surprise when John (Mitchell) told me I was getting the Hall of Fame Award. I was very, very surprised, even amazed. Why? I don't know. Maybe because I am the first non-American to obtain the Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame Award, which has existed since 1977. I am the first European, and, of course, the first French.
