     Madison, AL – Triana Industries Incorporated (TII), a minority-owned manufacturer of electrical and mechanical assemblies since 1972, was recently awarded the 2002 MBE Supplier Excellence Award by United Technologies Corporation (UTC) based in Hartford, CT.

     TII was selected to receive this honor as a result of its exemplary performance, outstanding customer service, and overall partnering with UTC and its divisions. “To receive recognition from one of your customers is one of the highest honors you can achieve. For the last 30 years, we have prided ourselves on delivering world-class quality products and total customer satisfaction is our top priority. So, this honor compliments both our products and our philosophy,” stated Ralph Malone, TII President and CEO. The award was presented to TII at an inaugural recognition ceremony during the Minority Business Exchange held at the United Technologies Research Center in East Hartford, CT.

     TII, who was recently named Alabama’s 2002 Medium-Size Manufacturer of the Year, has built a reputation as a quality manufacturing supplier and is rapidly becoming a leader in electro-mechanical manufacturing and assembly.
