Technica USA proudly announced the winners of its 2025 Supplier Alliance Awards during APEX EXPO 2026 in Anaheim, California. This marks the third consecutive year the company has recognized outstanding supplier partners at the industry-leading event.
This year’s honorees, CB Tech and PARMI, were recognized for their exceptional performance, collaboration, innovation, and strong alignment with Technica USA’s strategic objectives. The awards ceremony brought together supply partners, customers, and industry colleagues to celebrate the achievements and contributions of these key partners.
The event was hosted by Technica USA President Jason Perry and SMT Sales Manager Jeff Forster. During the ceremony, Perry presented the PCB Fabrication Award to Wonder Chang, CEO of CB Tech, while Forster presented the award to Mike DePauw, Western Regional Manager of PARMI USA.
In his remarks, Perry emphasized the importance of partnership across the entire supplier network, “While this award is presented to those suppliers that have demonstrated a willingness to be actively involved in helping our company execute our strategy for SUCCESS, it surely doesn’t discount the contribution we received from all our other suppliers. We know our success is the sum of the whole.”
Perry also highlighted the seven guiding ideals that define Technica’s “SUCCESS” framework, which serves as the foundation for evaluating supplier excellence and fostering long-term strategic collaboration.
Technica USA remains committed to building strong, innovative partnerships that drive mutual growth and success across the electronics manufacturing industry.
