We are a family-owned company, and like most of these companies,
everything began through one of its members, who with a genuinely
enterprising spirit ended up by spreading enthusiasm among
everyone involved, creating a single objective of a great
deal of work, honesty and success.
This was how we watched our brother take his first steps
in this direction in 1980. With a few pieces of phenolite,
some liters of perchloride, a basin, 2 hinges, a slow and
noisy drill and above-normal willpower, we came into contact
with a printed circuit board for the first time.
During the following eight years, we struggled together
hand in hand, experiencing some defeats, many accomplishments,
victories and above all exceptional learning experience.
In 1987, confirming his enterprising spirit, our brother
moved to the interior of the state where he created Micromáquinas (a true incubator of micro and small companies).
With accumulated experience and the unconditional support
of our parents, our brother and God, we created Tec-ci in
1988. The first boards were produced in a narrow little room
measuring 3x6 m at the back of the house. We faced countless
difficulties in an economic scenario of hyperinflation, economic
plans and instabilities, and suddenly, 2 years after its
official opening, Tec-ci, (like so many other companies from
the sector) began to face crushing international competition,
provoked by economic opening. At this time we saw hundreds
of companies, customers, suppliers, competitors etc. suspending
their operations, and it was only with a great deal of determination
that we managed to continue… and to grow.
At the same time we gradually expanded our physical area
as new customers began to arrive, and acquired new equipment:
in 92 the first press, in 94 the first corrosion machine,
in 96 the first coating machine, in 98 the first CNC drill,
and accordingly step-by-step we gradually built an even more
solid structure, training and hiring professionals that were
more and more competent.
In 2000 we moved to our new facilities, where we managed
to make even more progress in the direction of a degree of
stability that was only attained on account of the work,
honesty, seriousness and support of many people and companies,
which we will always remember with gratitude and with the
certainly that they also made their history based on the
same principles.
Now in the year 2004, we continue with the same objectives
of growth, always feeling proud of our track record. Hence
we invite you to become a part of this history.
