Kyocera’s Service Award Competition Announces its 2023 Winner

Fairfield, NJ – Kyocera Document Solutions America, Inc., one of the world’s leading document solutions companies, has crowned the winner of its 12th annual Kyocera Service Award.

Every year, Kyocera Document Solutions America, Inc. holds its Service Award contest. This year’s finals took place on December 15th, 2023. After a lively competition, we were delighted to crown Robinson Aldana Lopez as the winner.

Our contest aims to find the best dealer service technician in the United States and put their extensive knowledge and methodology to the test.

Five finalists, who had already completed a preliminary online exam and sailed through our semifinals, traveled from each Kyocera region to compete at the Kyocera Dallas Training Center on December 15th.

The final stage of our competition saw our technicians complete a written closed-book test and three troubleshooting exercises. They were evaluated according to their troubleshooting methodology, their diagnosis, and how long it took them to arrive at the correct solution.

“I would like to congratulate Robinson on his outstanding performance in the Kyocera Service Award competition,” says Frank Zupa, Senior Vice President of Operations at Kyocera Document Solutions America, Inc. “Crowning ‘the best of the best’ from such a talented group of individuals brings me great joy, and I would like to thank everyone who participated for showcasing their expertise and exemplary problem-solving skills.”

Hailing from WBS TECHNOLOGIES, INC., Mr. Aldana Lopez has won a travel voucher that he can use to whisk himself and a lucky plus-one away to Bermuda, Jamaica, Hawaii, Mexico, Florida, or California for four days. Should our winner prefer to celebrate on the high seas, the voucher is also valid for a seven-day Caribbean cruise.

However, no finalist left empty-handed. To congratulate them on their incredible success in this year’s contest, we also awarded our finalists with a cash prize.
