Preco Electronics (Morton, IL), a provider of electronic manufacturing services, received ITM Process Certification for Class 2, Electronics Assembly.

ITM Consulting's (Durham, NH) principal consultants, Jim Hall and Phil Zarrow, conducted a series of operations and process audits and certified that the materials, equipment, processes and personnel comprising the Preco Electronics facility have met the standards set forth by ITM and represent best practices for the assembly of Class 2 electronic products. ITM determined that the printed circuit board (PCB) assembly operation within the Preco's Morton facility is capable of producing high-quality printed circuit assemblies in accordance with IPC-A-610, Class 2, Acceptability of Printed Circuit Boards.

Jim Lanigan, director of operations and engineering at Preco, said, "The significance of attaining ITM Certification is that it allows our customers to benefit from our sophisticated degree of technology for EMS products coupled with a high commitment to quality, all while enjoying the service level a world-class Tier 3 EMS provider can offer. The team at ITM conducted the audit and noted areas requiring enhancement or improvement. Our engineering, quality and production staff made the modifications and we attained certification."

ITM president, Phil Zarrow, said, "Preco's certification should help dispel the myth that only a Tier 1 EMS provider can have a world-class facility. Preco is the first North American EMS provider to receive ITM Assembly Process Certification."

PCB Assembly and PCB Fabrication Process Certifications are patent pending services provided exclusively through ITM Consulting.
