Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. has appointed Sven Schnell technical sales engineer. Sven will support sales activities in Germany and Eastern Europe, specializing in Ventec's advanced IMS/Thermal Management solutions including a distributed range of Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) from EMI Thermal.
Following the recent appointment of Jürgen Knörchen as Sales Director DACH in April and driven by the growing market and Ventec's strengthening position in the German-speaking region, Ventec is continuing to expand its sales force and adding further technical sales expertise. In his role as Technical Sales Engineer, Sven will be responsible for business development activities in Germany and Eastern Europe, specializing in thermal management solutions to help the company further develop its presence in the region. With his extensive knowledge and experience in applications requiring thermal performance beyond FR-4, Sven will play a key role in driving forward Ventec's insulated metal substrate (IMS) material families, thermally conductive and standard laminates and prepregs for multilayer PCBs as well as a complementary range of thermal interface materials (TIM) under Ventec's distributor agreement with EMI Thermal.
Sven has over 25 years of technical experience, joining Ventec from Henkel and Bergquist where he started out as Field Sales Manager and most recently acted as Account Manager for Siemens AG. He previously worked in sales & engineering roles with leading companies such as Würth, Hirose Electric and AVX/Elco and has a technical education in electronics.
"I am pleased to welcome Sven to our expanding technical team in Germany. His extensive industry knowledge and his specialist expertise for IMS materials will further enhance our commitment to providing technical support at the highest level to our German-speaking customers," said Jürgen Knörchen, Sales Director DACH at Ventec International Group. Mark Goodwin, COO EMEA & Americas added, "Building on the momentum from our IPO on the Taiwanese Stock Exchange this month, we continue to invest in our strong and skilled global team to help meet the growing demand for Ventec products & solutions."

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.
How Good Design Enables Sustainable PCBs
08/21/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectSustainability has become a key focus for PCB companies seeking to reduce waste, conserve energy, and optimize resources. While many discussions on sustainability center around materials or energy-efficient processes, PCB design is an often overlooked factor that lies at the heart of manufacturing. Good design practices, especially those based on established IPC standards, play a central role in enabling sustainable PCB production. By ensuring designs are manufacturable and reliable, engineers can significantly reduce the environmental impact of their products.
