Century Business Products technician Craig Doeden has been named the best in the country in a contest for Kyocera.
The competition was open to the 2,000 technicians nationwide who work with Kyocera products.
Contestants had to qualify regionally for the national finals.
“The competition consists of repairing multiple intentionally bugged machines, a written test and verbal questioning from a five-member Kyocera judging panel,” Doeden said. “To make the competition a little more strenuous and help with a possible tie-breaker, all segments were timed.”
Doeden received a cash award and a trip to Japan and China for sightseeing and a tour of Kyocera’s corporate office and production facilities. Doeden won the first contest Kyocera held in 2009.
Century Business Products has had three Kyocera national winners and a top-five finisher every year but one since the contest started.
