The BCA program will be comprised of an elite group of assemblers displaying the following attributes: an excellent

reputation in the industry, a high level of technical and assembly expertise, and a continued dedication to the delivery of high-quality goods and services. Belden Certified Assemblers also must, by definition, assemble and/or manufacture cable assemblies using Belden components.

According to Tom Chung, President of Tri-Net Technology, Inc., "This membership in Belden's Certified Assembler's program serves to both symbolize and reinforce Tri-Net's continual commitment to quality and service on a worldwide basis. Since Belden's program requires a strict adherence to these same attributes, we're honored to be the first assembler selected for the program. We also expect that this new partnership will further strengthen our relationship with Belden and open more doors for us in this very competitive field - especially in Asia and Mexico where we have facilities to accommodate these growing markets."
