Sponsored by CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY, the Service Excellence Awards (SEAs) for Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) Providers and Electronics Assembly Suppliers honor companies excelling in the crucial area of customer service. The program, now in its 22nd year, functions as a way for participants to see how they compare to peers in customer satisfaction. 

Online responses are collected from a list of customers you provide to determine your company's level of customer satisfaction in various categories. Customer responses and ratings are calculated by an independent tabulator and summarized in a comprehensive, confidential report presented to you. Use these reports to improve operations and implement new ways of ensuring customer satisfaction - before customers are out the door to another company!

Each year, CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY donates proceeds from participants' entry fees to the SMTA's Charles Hutchins Educational Grant. To date, more than $50,000 has been awarded to industry grants.

The 2014 Service Excellence Awards reception will be held on the trade show floor at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas.

"ACD really appreciates that CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY magazine gave us the opportunity to have what we believe to be true about our company confirmed and audited through their Service Excellence Awards program.

"Air-Vac views Service Excellence as a competitve advantage for two reasons: First, the vast majority of our business comes from existing customers. If they have not been completely satisfied with our service in the past, they will go elsewhere when they have new requirements; second, we sell the most advanced rework systems available in the world, so all of our competitors sell their equipment at a lower price than we do. Our competitive advantage is technology and service. In regard to service, we advise potential customers that we have won the 2010 Service Excellence Award and that we provide service references upon request. If a potential customer is seriously considering a competitive system , we suggest they ask the other supplier for service references, what their service rating was in the 2010 Service Excellence Awards program, and if they did not participate, why not?" - Brian Czaplicki, Air-Vac Engineering

"We would like to thank CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY for the wonderful work they do in promoting our industry and recognizing small companies like ours with the Service Excellence Award.
