Vince’s proven track record in the high-reliability electronics market and his experience with the complex requirements of Micross’ customers ideally position him to lead the Company to the next level. We look forward to Vince bringing his focus on business strategy and operational excellence to all aspects of the Company for further value creation.”

Micross is uniquely positioned to provide the ‘one source, one solution’ service to the aerospace, defence and space market primes and system providers, in addition customers in other high-reliability end markets such as industrial and medical, among others. I am fully committed to providing our customers with a value proposition that meets and exceeds their requirements for high-reliability microelectronics applications. We are focused on providing our customers with best-in-class lead-times, on-time delivery and providing high-quality products and services.”
