TACNY names Critical Link STEM Company of the Year

DeWITT, N.Y. — The Technology Alliance of Central New York (TACNY) has selected Critical Link, LLC as its 2019 STEM Company of the Year.

DeWitt–based Critical Link is an embedded-electronics engineering company.

This TACNY award recognizes a local STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) company that has made recent “outstanding contributions to new or innovative products, processing technologies, or productivity leading to enhanced business,” Critical Link said in a news release.

TACNY also selected Michael Williamson, Critical Link’s principal engineer, as Technologist of the Year. The company will accept both awards at TACNY’s 20th Celebration of Technology Banquet on Monday at the Holiday Inn Syracuse-Liverpool-Exit 37 at 441 Electronics Parkway in the town of Salina.

“Central New York is home to a number of impressive technology companies, large and small, with several well known to local residents. Critical Link, while maybe lesser known, has been making impressive technology contributions in CNY for more than 20 years,” Howie Hollander, president emeritus of TACNY, said in the release.

The nonprofit TACNY works to “facilitate community awareness, appreciation, and education of technology; and to collaborate with like-minded organizations across Central New York,” per its website.
