Illinois APEX Accelerator Procurement Readiness Academy
At Tech-Weld, Inc., we believe that every improvement we make should ultimately benefit the customers who trust us with their projects. Our commitment to growth is not only about refining our welding processes on the shop floor. It is also about strengthening the knowledge and systems that allow us to deliver reliable and responsive service across every stage of a project.
Recently, our Sales Manager, Derrick Wells, completed the Govology Government Contracting Readiness Course through the College of DuPage, offered by the Illinois APEX Accelerator Procurement Readiness Academy. This program provided Derrick with valuable training on the federal contracting process, including how agencies purchase, what they require from suppliers, and how businesses can position themselves as dependable.
For our customers, this training translates into meaningful advantages. It ensures Tech-Weld is equipped to meet the highest standards of documentation, compliance, and accountability. It also means that whether you are a government agency, a prime contractor, or a private client, you can count on us to bring the same level of precision and professionalism to administrative requirements as we do to the welding bench.

By completing this program, Derrick has strengthened our ability to respond quickly and effectively to opportunities, proposals, and project requirements. Customers can expect smoother communication, clearer documentation, and a team that understands how to navigate complex procurement environments. These skills help reduce delays, minimize risk, and create a more seamless experience from start to finish.
Most importantly, this milestone reflects our philosophy that customer service extends far beyond the products we deliver. It is about the entire process, from the first conversation to the final inspection. By continuing to build our knowledge and capabilities, Tech-Weld ensures that every customer benefits from an expert who is prepared, proactive, and committed to excellence.
We are proud of Derrick’s accomplishment and look forward to bringing these enhanced capabilities to every customer we serve.
