Printed Circuit Boards DFW

Trilogy Circuits Named One of North Texas’ Fastest-growing Tech Companies at Fast Tech Awards Gala

Richardson, Texas – Aug. 31, 2009 – Trilogy Circuits, a premier EMS provider, recently received recognition by the Metroplex Technology Business Council for being one of the Dallas-Fort Worth-area’s fastest-growing technology companies. At MTBC’s 2009 Tech Titans/Fast Tech Awards Gala, held Friday at the Renaissance Hotel in Richardson, Texas, winners were announced in categories that showcase the most cutting-edge technologies and brightest talents in North Texas. Also, MTBC revealed the complete rankings of the 2009 Titan Fast Tech (formerly the Fast 50), listing the fastest-growing DFW technology companies over the past year and past five years, based on percentage revenue growth during those respective time periods. For its first Tech Titans honor, Trilogy Circuits placed 10th on the five-year growth listing.

Trilogy Circuits provides turnkey services for the development of electronic products and devices. From printed circuit board layout to fully assembled boards, Trilogy Circuits helps its customers reduce production cycle times in a very efficient manner. Over the past year, Trilogy Circuits has received several growth awards. In December, the company ranked No. 57 at the Dallas 100 Awards, recognizing the fastest-growing companies in the Dallas area. In May, Trilogy Circuits received its second-consecutive Top 10 finish at the Comerica Bank Collin 60 Awards, which recognizes the fastest-growing companies in Collin County.

“At Trilogy Circuits, we’ve experienced tremendous growth and success over the past few years, and this Tech Titans honor serves as a distinguishable reminder of our achievements thus far,” said Charles Capers, CEO of Trilogy Circuits. “While designing, manufacturing and assembling printed circuit boards is a large part of what we do at Trilogy Circuits, our greatest success comes from our focus on taking care of our customers’ needs. We work together with our customers to make them better. It’s that combination of quality, flexibility and commitment that distinguishes Trilogy Circuits in the EMS industry.”

Trilogy Circuits spends approximately 80 percent of its operating revenues on research and development to create customized, proprietary products. It uses its own proprietary technology and processes to research, develop and produce customized products, such as printed circuit boards, that become the proprietary technology that powers its customers’ latest technology products.

Over the past year, Trilogy Circuits has worked with popular semiconductor providers to develop a process that successfully places 0.3 and 0.4 mm pitch CSPs (chip scale packages) onto printed circuit boards to be used in next-generation handheld devices and smartphones. Another process developed by Trilogy Circuits consists of placing components on very fragile, flexible materials which are used in aircraft cockpit switches. Cleaning this product after assembly is very critical, and Trilogy Circuits also developed a process to control the use of harsh chemicals as well as ran multiple tests using various cycle times and water temperatures to develop an optimal cleaning process which preserves the integrity of this delicate component. Trilogy Circuits is the sole-source supplier for this range of products which are used in virtually every aircraft produced today.

Gary Vaynerchuk has captured attention with his pioneering, multi-faceted approach to personal branding and business. After primarily utilizing traditional advertising techniques to build his family's local wine business into a national industry leader, Gary rapidly leveraged social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook to promote Wine Library TV, his video blog about wine. As his viewership swelled to over 80,000 a day, and the wine business grew to over $60 million a year, he began making national TV appearances including the "Today Show", "Late Night With Conan O'Brien", and "Ellen", consulting for Fortune 100 companies, and giving keynote speeches around the world. Gary's dual identity as both business guru and wine guy has made him the 'Social Media Sommelier'.
