Huntsville’s Technical Micronics Control (TMC) was named Boeing Company’s 2018 Pathfinder Supplier of the Year last week in Los Angeles, CA.

One of only 13 companies to receive the honor awarded at Boeing’s Annual Global Supplier Conference, TMC has cleaned tubes for Boeing’s Space Launch System since May 2018. The cleaning process has since expanded to include other Space Launch System related hardware used on ground and in flight.

TMC, which is one of more than 12,000 productive Boeing suppliers around the world, was selected for the award based on quality performance, delivery performance, cost, environmental initiatives, customer service and technical expertise.

“Boeing has been our largest customer over the past year, and we were fortunate that they approached us when they did. We are proud of what we do and the processes that we have helped to create,” said Kevin Heronimus, chairman and CEO of Technical Micronics Control, Inc.

Heronimus added, “To be recognized as one of Boeing’s Suppliers of the Year is a true honor and testament to the hard work our team puts forth. We are thankful to Boeing and its support of our company, and we hope to continue supporting Boeing as best as we can in the future.”

TMC, which was founded in 1965 as one of the first precision chemical cleaning companies in America, was also recognized for its outstanding efforts and improvements throughout the year.
