On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Maschinenfabrik LAUFFER GmbH & Co. KG (LAUFFER PRESSEN), there will be several events for different target groups at the company's headquarters in Horb am Neckar.

The celebrations will be preceded by an info day in the form of an open house for potential trainees and students interested in a career at LAUFFER on Tuesday, 20 September between 2:00 and 5:00 pm. There will be plenty of information here about the apprenticeships and courses of study offered by the company from current trainees, students and trainers from all areas of the company.

LAUFFER Technology Days

Things will then get underway on Wednesday, 21 September 2022 and Thursday, 22 September 2022 with the LAUFFER Technology Days, an international in-house exhibition that will be held in full for the first time since the Corona pandemic. The proven exhibition format will present all of the company's product groups (see separate press release) in one central event as well as several interesting presentations by industry experts, LAUFFER technology specialists, from users, customers and market companions.

Speaker Series

On the first "Technology Day", Dr. Sandra Engle and Anke Uhlig from the VDMA, Armin Schlotz and Stefan Zimmermann (Bosch Rexroth), Luca Simon (Arburg GmbH + Co. KG), Christian Reuther (ZFT Plasticard) and Dr Clothilde Manzano (Ahlstrom Munksjö Group), among others, will comment on current technology and industry topics, followed on the second day by Ralph Fiehler (KSG GmbH), Andreas Orth (Baumüller GmbH), Thilo Schmitt (Miba Friction), Marco Febel (LAUFFER Pressen) and Insabelle Limousin (Thales). The presentations will focus primarily on the thematic "common thread" of the Technology Days, "Energy Efficiency and Sustainability", a focus that is coming to the fore with great momentum in view of recent global developments in climate change, inflation and energy costs. The company has also recently commented extensively on this topic in social media.

This year, I had the great opportunity to come to IPC APEX EXPO in San Diego as a contributing member in Chemcut’s booth. Being an exhibitor is always interesting because you never know what you will learn or who you will meet. Truly, it seems that every IPC APEX EXPO is an eye-opening experience. This was the second show I attended, and last year I was amazed to see how in-depth and interconnected the electronics industry is. Seeing how many different companies contribute to manufacturing today’s core technology never fails to impress me.

The IPC APEX EXPO Special Session on Advanced Packaging this year attracted enormous interest, with Conference Room 2 at capacity long before the session began. Even with lots of extra seats squeezed around the edges, the session was standing room only for the just-in-time arrivals. IPC Chief Technology Officer Matt Kelly opened proceedings by introducing a distinguished panel of experts: Jan Vardaman, president and founder of TechSearch International; Sam Salama, CEO of Hyperion Technology; Matt Neely, director of process engineering at TTM Technologies; and Jim Fuller, VP of engineering technology at Sanmina.

The EIPC Winter Conference returned to the Metropolis of Lyon in eastern France this month. In 2018, the venue was Villeurbanne in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Five years later the setting was the Groupama Stadium in Décines-Charpieu, and leaders of the European printed circuit community gathered in expectation of a spectacular programme of 16 presentations, a visit to a nuclear power station, and an invaluable networking opportunity. They weren’t disappointed.
