Reflections on 50 YEARS in the Business, Part 1

Read Part 1 here https://iconnect007.uberflip.com/i/1542698-i007-jan2026/115?

Last September and October, I wrote a two-part column, “Electro-Tek: A Williams Family Legacy, which prompted me to reflect on the changes I have witnessed over the past 50 years in the PCB and broader electronics industry. The prior articles focused on the family business and my dad, so a follow-up on my journey is a logical next step. In this new three-part series, I will be looking back as 2026 marks my 50th year in the business, beginning with the first 22 years of my career manufacturing PCBs.

TRAC Celebrates Tenth Anniversary

First, I would like to thank the 50+ clients that have believed in my company and enabled me to keep the business going strong heading into year 11. A special thanks to the number of customers that have been with me in various capacities since day one; your loyalty is greatly appreciated. I am also proud to announce a 100% certification track record with my clients across the international standards of AS9100/ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, IATF 16949, and MIL-PRF-31032.

The company was founded September 30th, 2013, so while the actual 10-year anniversary was last September I am extending the celebration as there will be a special anniversary offer extended to all of my clients over the past 10 years. Separate emails will be sent out to these clients with details, but a summary of the offer is outlined below.

 

10-year QMS Upgrade

Every year I make changes to my core Quality Management System that improves, simplifies and increases efficiency. The system is also updated based on the constantly changing auditor preferences and interpretations of the standard(s). This will be a one-time QMS upgrade that incorporates all the improvements over the past 10 years and that can be accomplished over a one-month period via onsite and online meetings, including training to the new upgrades. Typical results are a 40-50% reduction in procedures, forms, tasks, etc., with an ROI of only 6-months or less. The number of clients in any given month will be limited to allow appropriate time to each client, but the offer will  be extended as many months as needed to accommodate all that are interested.

Once again, many thanks to my clients in helping to achieve this milestone, and I look forward to the next ten!

Steve
