UC Components, Inc. is proud to continue ongoing support of local and national AVS chapters, both large and small. Their recent sponsorship of the 2024 AVS Prairie Chapter’s Annual Symposium helped one student win a $500.00 award for their poster submission. You can see from the smile on his face in the image that the funds will go a long way to helping him achieve his goals of furthering his technical education and knowledge base.
UC Components, Inc. is committed to doing its part and actively participating in growth efforts for the communities they work in and around from which they draw their employees, and the industries they serve. Each year, AVS hosts multiple local and international meetings geared toward vacuum and other controlled environment industries. Their collaborative efforts boost research and development of new products and services for many clean-critical applications. As a sponsor, UC Components, Inc. firmly believes in this mutual exchange of information on state-of-the-art research, opportunities, ideas, friendly relationships, and research collaboration.
“At UC Components, we do a lot of trade shows, some big, some small. The great value of a small show, like the AVS Prairie Chapter Symposium, is the personal connection between students and vendors. Some vendors don’t like these shows; they say students don’t have any money and are not worth their time. On the contrary, these students will one day be employed by leading technology companies, major universities, and exciting startup businesses. They will remember the events, corporations, and people that have helped them along their education journey, such as sponsorship funds that go directly into their wallet. UC Components believes in supporting and sponsoring something that will resonate with those students. Cash is king, but we don’t stop there. Our standard MOQ is typically 25 pieces; however we let students know that if they require just few of our standard catalog items, we can supply them at no cost. The feedback we receive from these small gestures is wonderful, and a huge relief in most cases.” stated Chris Malocsay, UC Components, Inc. Director of Sales and Marketing, and the AVS Northern California Chapter Equipment Exhibition and Technical Symposium Chair
