PIMATRONICS is an EMS provider, ¡§PIMA¡¨ stands for Professional, Industrial, Medical and Automotive which refer to the electronic sectors that the company prepares to serve.

The ¡§PIMA¡¨ is actually a tribe of Native American who live today in the Gila River Indian Community. Their ancestors were among the first people to set foot in the Americas 30,000 years ago. They have lived in the Sonoron Desert near the Gila River in what is now southern Arizona for at least 2,000 years.

Called the Pima Indians by exploring Spaniards who first encountered them in the 1600s, these early Americans called themselves "O'Odham," the River people, and those with whom they intermarried, "Tohono O'Odham," the Desert people.

Strong runners, the Pima Indians were also master weavers and farmers who could make the desert bloom. They established a sophisticated system of irrigation that made the desert fruitful with wheat, beans, squash and cotton. The women of the community made exquisite baskets so intricately woven that they were watertight.

They were also a generous people. They sheltered the Pee Posh (or Maricopa Indians) who fled attack by hostile tribes, and who also became part of the Gila River community. Anyone who followed the Gila river, the main southern route to the Pacific, encountered these peaceful and productive traders who gave hospitality to travellers for hundreds of years. "Bread is to eat, not to sell. Take what you want," they told Kit Carson in 1846.

In analogy of the name of this great tribe, Pimatronics borrows the spirits of Pima Indians to manage her business.
