The Idaho Manufacturing Alliance (IMA) mourns the loss of Steve Hatten, a steadfast advocate for manufacturing and a tireless champion for Idaho’s economic growth.
Steve was a beacon of faith—not only in IMA’s mission but in people. Before many recognized the potential of our organization, Steve believed in our vision and took a leap of faith, offering his professional reputation and unwavering support when others remained unconvinced. His early belief and active involvement were instrumental in shaping the growth and success of the Idaho Manufacturing Alliance.
A staunch advocate for manufacturing, Steve could always be counted on to collaborate for the greater good of the industry. His leadership at TechHelp transformed the manufacturing landscape, helping countless businesses innovate, grow, and succeed. From mentoring students to representing Idaho on a national stage, Steve’s influence was profound and enduring.
His impact went far beyond professional contributions—Steve embodied generosity, positivity, and a collaborative spirit. He inspired those around him to think bigger, work harder, and believe in what’s possible.
We are deeply grateful for the person Steve was, for his vision, and for the trust he placed in IMA and Idaho’s manufacturing community. We owe him a great deal, and we are better for having known him. His spirit of innovation, collaboration, and unwavering belief in people will continue to guide and inspire us for years to come.
Our hearts are with Steve’s family, friends, and the entire TechHelp team during this difficult time. His legacy will forever remain a part of the IMA story.
