• InPlan and InSolver Impedance Solver Pre-production Engineering Solution: Supports full pre-production automation by ensuring the company maintains complete control of its processes through every operation.

When making the announcement Mr. Vardya said, “Our strategy is and has always been to provide all of our customers with the highest quality printed circuit boards on the market today. Whether they are metal-backed, flex/ rigid flex or high density boards, we are in the business of giving our customers the very best…so that they can be the very best. This year we have set an additional goal of being not only the top state of the art supplier but to also be the easiest PCB fabricator to work with. We are striving to make it easy to buy the best and this new suite of Orbotech equipment will go a long way towards making that happen.”

During a recent tour of the MKS facility in Beaverton, Oregon, I met with Todd Templeton, Chris Ryder, Kyle Baker, and Martin Orrick. As a reminder, MKS acquired ESI in 2019 and has retained the ESI brand. In this interview, they explain their approach to HDI and ultra HDI, the current state of base materials, and what the future looks like on the cutting edge of technology.

Nolan Johnson speaks with Will Marsh, vice president of TTM Technologies and president of the Printed Circuit Board Association of America, about the work the PCBAA has been doing in Washington, D.C., to get the industry better recognized by the country’s decision-makers. Marsh is optimistic, not only about the companies and individuals joining the effort, but in the recognition by Capitol Hill to secure the nation’s defense systems.

As the electric vehicle market expands, it is useful to hear from someone with a goal of creating a significant position in that market. Schaltbau Group is one of those companies. In fact, one might say because of its string position in the rail marketplace, the company has been dealing in EVs for years. I sat down recently with Jim Tullo, president of Schaltbau’s North American operations, to talk about their current and future business. I strongly advise you to dig into this one.
