Ventec International Group Strategically Streamlines European Operating Structure
April 18, 2016 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Ventec International Group, a world leader in the production of polyimide & high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs, announce management changes relating to Ventec Europe with the purpose to strategically streamline the European operating structure to accelerate future growth in the region.
With immediate effect, Ventec's European operation will be led by Thomas Michels as Managing Director Ventec Europe. In this role, Ventec’s UK and Central Europe Business Units as well as Ventec Option Limited (Option Technologies) will report to Michels. Michels assumes his new role from, and reports to, Mark Goodwin, who joined Ventec in 2007 and has served as Chief Operating Officer for Europe & USA since 2013. Goodwin will continue his role as COO with responsibility for Ventec's Overseas Business Units, reporting to CEO Tony Lau.
The promotion forms part of Ventec’s phased and strategic global growth plan and follows the recent announcement of an intended merger with TMT Trading GmbH, which was founded in 2003 by Michels who successfully transformed the company into a leading distributor of PCB base-materials including consumables and flex- & rigid-flex circuit board materials. The merger will widen Ventec’s product offering and enable a one-stop-shop for customers of laminates and PCB base materials.
“Ventec's reputation in Europe and indeed globally is growing exponentially and I am delighted to play my part in Ventec's wider success,” says Michels. “I am committed to building upon that success and the strong position of the European organization to create a combined portfolio of solutions through innovation, quality and reliability. I am encouraged by the growing number of clients who are increasingly looking to Ventec as their strategic partner for high quality PCB materials & consumables.”
Tony Lau, Ventec International Group’s CEO commented: “Both Mark and Thomas are instrumental in driving our European and wider company transformation. Much of our success is attributed to their commitment to delivering high performance and growth through their perseverance and enterprising spirit. The restructuring and appointment of Thomas to lead our European business is richly deserved, and Mark handing over his direct responsibility for the UK, allows him to focus on his wider responsibilities for all of Ventec’s overseas business units. I look forward to continuing our close cooperation as Ventec further strengthens its market position in the coming years.”

Designer’s Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 2
04/24/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary base element for providing the interconnect platform for mounting and electrically joining electronic components. When assessing PCB design complexity, first consider the component area and board area ratio. If the surface area for the component interface is restricted, it may justify adopting multilayer or multilayer sequential buildup (SBU) PCB fabrication to enable a more efficient sub-surface circuit interconnect.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
Trouble in Your Tank: Supporting IC Substrates and Advanced Packaging, Part 5
03/19/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite or carbon dispersion are quickly gaining acceptance worldwide. Indeed, the environmental and productivity gains one can achieve with these processes are outstanding. In today’s highly competitive and litigious environment, direct metallization reduces costs associated with compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. What makes these processes leaders in the direct metallization space?
