Aetec International Fails to Pay for $6700 Worth of Repair Work

I am not in the habit of talking bad about competitors. I have actually done repair work on many occasions for Aetec International and although I find it surprising that they can't fix their own manufacturing mistakes, I would never use this to make a company look bad. However since they basically contracted us to fix their mistakes, with no intention to pay for the work I find it repulsive that this company can continue to use the system this way to defraud the industry of hundreds of thousands of dollars. And although my loss is one of the lowest in a long long list of deceived suppliers, ex-employees, partners, at $6700, its worth warning my colleagues, suppliers and customers about.

Since closing down its Tempe location and operating a plant in Costa Rica, Aetec has not paid us for work done over 2 months ago. They issued us a contract from the address they no longer occupy, they have ignored emails, phone calls and hung up on us when we requested the new address.

" After learning what they have done in the past to other vendors, and the actions of their employees, I have no doubt that there was never any intention of Dan Stuber to pay for our services rendered in June of 2008".


(Despite the cost reductions of cutting all the Tempe Arizona jobs and manufacturing in Costa Rica) to this day they refuse to pay the local Arizona, US vendors for the materials and repair work?

Through our own channels we have located Aetec International. Here is their local address:

They are now operating as ICM Inc.

Aetec is now operating as the following company.

ICM Inc.
4809 East Thistle Landing Drive, Ste. 100
Phoenix AZ 85044

Aetec International , from what I have learned from other distributors and board vendors, has had a long term reputation for not paying their suppliers. Despite being participant, (and I say participants since upper management consists of 1 individual and his lawyer partner) in this form of legalized theft, I won't mention the name of the 4 or 5 remaining employees (yet). I can see through maricopa.gov webstite that some form of legal action has been taken by 3 other individuals, perhaps past employees. I also saw a judgement against Aetec from Arrow Electronics for over $434,000.00 I have personally tried to reach the owner/president of Aetec for three weeks now, with no response.

Here is a link to some of Aetec's civil case history: (they also have justice court cases)

Here is a partial list of US electronics companies and suppliers that Aetec Inc., (ICM Inc. now) has refused to pay for materials or services which are in collections.

First Phase Technologies
Arrow


To quote more than one source "be very careful dealing with that company". If you have your own case history regarding Aetec International, please comment....

dan stuber is a thief. I am a former employee who was ripped off. in would like to tell my story to all. I am a former employee i worked there for 1 1/2 years in 2001-2002 dan stuber LIED to all of us employees and said he needed to give us a pay decrease of 10% for business reasons. but we would be paid back pay as well as get the 10% back. it was a LIE LIE LIE. after the fact i found out dan stubers costa rica plant was making money hand over fist. but dan stuber LIED said he was not making any money and that he himself was not taking any pay until we employees were paid back. THIS WAS A LIE. the pay cut was to last only 3 months dan stuber said. THAT WAS A LIE. kit went for years even after dan stuber fired me. yes fired me. why? because after 8+ months of dan stuber lieing to us employeees about our so called paycut. I walked onto the production floor and told all the hourly employees they were a bunch of fucking slaves. Iwas meaning they were dan stubers slaves for believing his BIG FAT LIES. and it was true, they were slaves and dan stuber fired at will if you questioned his lies. SO I QUESTIONED And questioned and questioned to the point of telling him infront of his entire staff that it was funny his son was going to prison for stealing. LIKE FATHER LIKE SON. here is the lnk to his son ivans prison record

but back to my story, dan stuber fired all the affected employees for bogus reasons or just hung them out to dry with a bogus layoff. meanwhile dan stuber had employees working from home or on the payroll and not working at all. divina was a friend of mine and dan stuber kept her working at home while his plan to close aetec down and open his new company was put in play. fred was paid but never worked after the aetec plants closed but we other employees got fucked out of 10% and back pay. fred and divina are my friends but i do not speak to them because to me for them to stay with dan knowing he is a fat liar is like being in agreement with the lie.

I have no fear of dan stuber or his atty. i might fuck with them for payback or maybe not. this note might be my final vent against him--

i too to him to court but it is not referenced above. i took his to small claims because he did not pay my wages as stipulated by az law when he fired me. i played it for a game--ha ha dan(i say this because i will email him about my post)

but to me any man who would bring costa rican employees to the us under the guise of training but had them work for 3+ months at a crack for 2 dollars an hour is nothing but a thief. the employees i mean are henry nunez and a female costa rican who dan fired (name with held because she is still my friend)

dan stuber skirted labor law I tried to get it investigated by the state of arizona but with all the illegals here arizona dpt of labor looked a blind eye to my complaint.

thats all i got to say--this vent has put away a lot of anger i had for dan stupid i mean stuber. thanks to all to listened.
