Eltek Continues to Invest, Increase Production Capacity
December 9, 2020 | EltekEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Eltek is excited to announce the new custom-built DES (Develop/Etch/Strip) line, for faster, more precise, and fully Industry 4.0 compliant production line.
All DES modules can be controlled and monitored independently with mobile terminal devices such as tablets or via web browser which improves process control and stability. The new Eltek DES Line can be directly connected to the production monitoring system which ensures traceability of inner layers. The specially designed conveyor enables Eltek to be able to process ultra-thin flex cores and will increase production capacity and yields.
The new DES line etching module was designed particularly for fine line etching which allows Eltek to reach 2 mil Line Space (L/S) and beyond for ultra-thin & high-density PCBs.
Eltek’s new DES line is designed for low power usage and high performance (IE4), reduced chemical consumption and lower environmental pollutant discharge for complete compliance to environmental regulations.
The company is confident that with this new DES line, and Eltek’s continuous investments in our production lines our customers will benefit from enhanced capabilities and leadtimes.
The new DES line is now undergoing testing and certification. It is operating in parallel with the former DES line to maintain full production capacity.

Punching Out: Acquiring a PCB/EMS Shop: Brownfield vs. Greenfield
03/27/2024 | Tom Kastner -- Column: Punching Out!We often get asked about establishing a new company (greenfield) rather than buying an existing PCB or EMS shop (brownfield). There are many criteria to consider. Many buyers want to grow through M&A, but they cannot find acquisition targets that fit their criteria. Perhaps they can find the right shop, or at least one that fits five out of 10 criteria, but they encounter obstacles, such as owners who do not want to sell, price expectations that are too high, or negotiations that are too difficult. Despite the interest in building new facilities, since 2000, few companies have gone the greenfield route. Here is a look at the pros and cons of buying vs. building.
