Liam Lynch Appointed as Sales & Customer Service Manager for Ventec UK
August 3, 2015 | Ventec UKEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec Europe is pleased to announce the appointment of Liam Lynch as Sales & Customer Service Manager for Ventec UK.
Well known and highly respected in the UK printed circuit community, Liam brings with him a wealth of industry experience. With an honours degree in computing and a background as a sales executive in the publishing industry, Liam joined a UK-based distributor of laminates, prepregs and ancillary materials and has spent the last 18 years as Sales Manager, developing the UK customer base, expanding sales and introducing new products to market.
COO Mark Goodwin explained the rationale behind Liam’s appointment: “As our organisation continues to evolve, we recognise the need to bring our internal and external sales teams in the UK and UK-managed territories under a single reporting line and manager, and Liam is the perfect candidate for the position, with his proven management capabilities and his extensive product and market knowledge. His experience will be instrumental in developing sales of selected complementary products such as drill entry and exit materials, release films, press packaging materials and including the services of our high technology mass lamination facility all supported through the Ventec UK infrastructure.”
Liam Lynch commented “Although I have greatly enjoyed my achievements over 18 years in laminate distribution, I am increasingly aware of the market trend for the OEM to set the specification and to demand that PCB suppliers purchase nominated substrate materials direct from the primary manufacturer. I have a clear understanding of Ventec’s commitment to technology, quality and customer service, and look forward to becoming a member of the Ventec UK management team.”

Trouble in Your Tank: Implementing Direct Metallization in Advanced Substrate Packaging
09/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite are gaining popularity throughout the world. The environmental and productivity gains achievable with this process are outstanding. Direct metallization reduces the costs of compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. A graphite-based direct plate system has been devised to address these needs.
Closing the Loop on PCB Etching Waste
09/09/2025 | Shawn Stone, IECAs the PCB industry continues its push toward greener, more cost-efficient operations, Sigma Engineering’s Mecer System offers a comprehensive solution to two of the industry’s most persistent pain points: etchant consumption and rinse water waste. Designed as a modular, fully automated platform, the Mecer System regenerates spent copper etchants—both alkaline and acidic—and simultaneously recycles rinse water, transforming a traditionally linear chemical process into a closed-loop system.
Driving Innovation: Depth Routing Processes—Achieving Unparalleled Precision in Complex PCBs
09/08/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, the demand for increasingly complex and miniaturized designs continually pushes the boundaries of traditional fabrication methods, including depth routing. Success in these applications demands not only on robust machinery but also sophisticated control functions. PCB manufacturers rely on advanced machine features and process methodologies to meet their precise depth routing goals. Here, I’ll explore some crucial functions that empower manufacturers to master complex depth routing challenges.
Trouble in Your Tank: Minimizing Small-via Defects for High-reliability PCBs
08/27/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankTo quote the comedian Stephen Wright, “If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you.” That can be the battle cry when you find that only small-diameter vias are exhibiting voids. Why are small holes more prone to voids than larger vias when processed through electroless copper? There are several reasons.
The Government Circuit: Navigating New Trade Headwinds and New Partnerships
08/25/2025 | Chris Mitchell -- Column: The Government CircuitAs global trade winds continue to howl, the electronics manufacturing industry finds itself at a critical juncture. After months of warnings, the U.S. Government has implemented a broad array of tariff increases, with fresh duties hitting copper-based products, semiconductors, and imports from many nations. On the positive side, tentative trade agreements with Europe, China, Japan, and other nations are providing at least some clarity and counterbalance.
