Horizon Sales, a premier manufacturers’ representative and distributor for the electronics assembly industry, successfully concluded its 2025 Tech Days event, welcoming more than 60 customers and 21 supplier partners over the course of two engaging days. The annual event was held at Horizon’s Brighton, MI facility and provided attendees with hands-on demonstrations, expert insights, and an invaluable opportunity to explore the latest in electronics manufacturing technology.
This year’s event featured live equipment demonstrations from industry-leading manufacturers, including PARMI (SigmaX SPI and Xceed AOI), Juki (Incoming Material Station and Essegi Storage Towers), Essemtec (Puma All-in-One Jetting and Pick-and-Place), Cogiscan, Promation (CoBot Soldering Cell), Pace (Soldering Stations), PDR (Model E3 Rework Station), and Quasi (C2 Cart-AI Autonomous Robot), among others. Every participating supplier brought samples and products for hands-on presentations, sparking conversations and solution-focused engagement with attendees.
“We love being able to give our customers a chance to explore real equipment up close, talk to factory experts, and ask questions in a more relaxed, personalized environment,” said Dave Trail, President of Horizon Sales. “Tech Days continues to be a highlight of our year, bringing the best of the industry to our doorstep.”
Exhibiting companies included:
AIM Solder, AquaKlean/Austin American Technology, AVEN, Cogiscan, Circuit Technology Training Inc., Rehm, High Tech Conversions, Depco Sales, Essemtec, Gen3, HATS2+, Impossible Objects, Juki, Pace, PARMI, PDR, Promation, Quasi, RFID, SEHO, Seika, SMTXtra, and StaticStop.
Attendees enjoyed lunch and refreshments throughout the event, as well as raffle prizes and Horizon’s trademark hospitality.

“Our team is grateful for the support of our supplier partners and the customers who took time out of their busy schedules to attend,” added Trail. “The energy, engagement, and enthusiasm at Tech Days 2025 proved again why we’re proud to represent the best in the business.”
