Ventec International Group, a world leader in the production of polyimide and high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs, announced the intention to merge with TMT Trading GmbH, a leading distributor of PCB base-materials including consumables and flex- and rigid-flex circuit board materials. The intention to merge was officially announced today and is expected to take effect in early 2016.
The management of Ventec International, headquartered in Suzhou, China, and TMT Trading GmbH, headquartered in Kirchheimbolanden, Germany, announced today that they have entered into discussions to merge TMT with the Ventec International Group.

A merger is a natural progression in the relationship, which will greatly benefit both our customer bases through the synergies our partnership bring.”
