Gerald Shane founded Qual-Pro in 1971 with a simple mission: Provide high-quality customer service to companies in need of electronics manufacturing services. Today, Qual-Pro continues that mission but with an expanded set of services. What was once a small shop primarily focused on testing electronics has grown to a company of more than 100 people offering an array of manufacturing services including turnkey manufacturing and complete box-level assembly of mission critical electronics.
The company has transitioned to the second generation of the Shane family. Today, all four of Gerald's children manage the business. Brian is the CEO, Darrell develops technology to improve manufacturing operations, David focuses on marketing and facilities and Richard focuses on sales and operations.
