Southwest Systems Technology (SST), the resource for electronic and semiconductor manufacturing in the Great Southwest and a premiere manufacturer’s representative for capital equipment, tools, consumables and ergonomic solutions, is pleased to announce that Scott Fillebrown has joined the company as managing director.

Dee Claybrook, founder and CEO of SST, said, “Scott is a hands-on manager who takes the time to understand technology and the processes required so that SST delivers customers the best possible solution. Scott is responsible for the day-to-day operations of SST, including managing the sales team and working with principles and customers.” Claybrook continued, “Adding Scott allows me to focus more on selling and completes the vision of moving Southwest Systems into our 31st year of business and beyond.”
