VIEWPOINT 2026: Greg Norton, COO, ProEx

Greg Norton, COO, ProEx

As the electronics industry enters 2026, speed, flexibility, and execution will continue to differentiate trusted partners from transactional providers. Product complexity continues to rise, supply chains remain fluid, and expectations for responsiveness have never been higher.

Leading OEMs and distributors increasingly view outsourced device programming as a strategic extension of their operations. Partnering with specialized providers helps mitigate execution risk, avoid ongoing capital investment, and adjust capacity quickly as product mix and demand change. Just as importantly, outsourcing allows internal teams to remain focused on innovation and growth while relying on proven, compliant processes to protect product integrity.

At ProEx, our focus is delivering reliable, high-quality semiconductor programming and packaging services with the agility to respond as requirements evolve. We continue to invest in advanced programming platforms, automation, and data visibility to support complex devices, compressed schedules, and rigorous traceability standards.

Looking ahead, we are optimistic about 2026 and remain committed to being a responsive, execution-driven partner customers can rely on to adapt quickly, communicate clearly, and deliver consistently from programming through shipment.
