About Tecnova Electronics, Inc.
Tecnova Electronics, Inc. is headquartered in Waukegan, Illinois. The company traces its roots to 1981 when Terry Coleman Sr., after gaining experience in electronic design, founded Tecnova Inc. to offer electronic and firmware design services from his home. In 1987, Tecnova Electronics, Inc. was established to combine design and contract manufacturing under one roof, creating a single-source solution for electronics production. The business remains led by the Coleman family, with Terry Coleman Sr. as CEO of Tecnova, Inc. and Terence Coleman Jr. as President of the Electronics division. The company provides comprehensive electronic manufacturing services, specializing in printed circuit board assembly (SMT and through-hole), electro-mechanical assembly, box builds, cable and wire harness assembly, and inspection and testing including in-house X-ray and automated optical inspection (AOI). Its ISO 9001:2015-certified facility operates multiple high-speed SMT production lines with high-accuracy pick-and-place systems, and offers conformal coating with silicone and acrylic materials. Tecnova handles odd-formed parts such as large connectors and Pem-nuts, and supports production volumes from prototype through mid-volume to large-scale runs. Additional capabilities include product development services such as electronic prototyping, motor drive development, power electronics design, and project management. Tecnova serves mid-sized original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) across industrial electronics sectors, including industrial sensing, monitoring, and controls, motor drive systems, and power electronics. The company maintains partnerships as an Analog Devices Design Partner and a member of the Hirose Solution Partner Network, indicating engagement with component suppliers and technology ecosystems. Customers typically seek a seamless integration of design and manufacturing to avoid finger-pointing between separate vendors. Tecnova differentiates itself through its "design-it-right, build-it-right" philosophy, embedding quality at every stage rather than relying solely on end-of-line inspection. The firm has been recognized multiple times as a Quality Leadership 100 company by Quality Magazine, including the #1 ranking in 2024. By offering both engineering design and contract manufacturing under common ownership, Tecnova aims to provide accountability and smoother project outcomes for clients.
