Prototron Circuits is pleased to announce that veteran printed circuit board professional Jerome Larez has returned to represent the company as its technical sales resource for the Northwest territory. Working through NextGen PCBs, Larez will support current Prototron customers, reconnect with former customers, and introduce new companies throughout the region to the quality, responsiveness, and personal service that define the Prototron experience.
For Prototron, Larez’s return represents an important step in rebuilding the company’s presence in a territory it served successfully for decades. Prototron operated a PCB facility in the Northwest for 33 years before consolidating manufacturing operations at its Tucson, Arizona, facility during the COVID-19 pandemic. Larez brings established relationships, strong technical knowledge, and a firsthand understanding of what Northwest PCB customers expect from a manufacturing partner.
“We could not be more pleased to welcome Jerome back to the Prototron family,” said Dave Ryder, president and owner of Prototron Circuits. “Jerome knows our company, understands our customers, and has spent his career helping engineers and purchasing professionals find the right solutions for their printed circuit board requirements. He has always represented Prototron with professionalism, honesty, and a genuine commitment to customer success. Having Jerome back in the Northwest gives our customers a trusted local resource backed by the experience and capabilities of our Tucson team.”
Larez will visit customers throughout the territory to discuss new programs, review technical requirements, identify manufacturability improvements, and help companies develop more reliable PCB sourcing strategies. His mission is to make working with Prototron easy, productive, and dependable from initial design consultation through delivery.
“I am tremendously excited to be back representing Prototron Circuits,” said Larez. “Prototron has always meant a great deal to me, both personally and professionally. I know the people, I believe in their capabilities, and I understand the level of service they provide. I look forward to reconnecting with longtime friends and customers, rebuilding relationships, and showing a new generation of Northwest companies what the Prototron experience is all about.”
