Lenthor Engineering, Inc., a California-based designer, manufacturer and assembler of rigid-flex and flex printed circuit boards, announces its 2020 mid-year financial results.
Strong performance was reported for Q2 2020 with revenue totaling $9.4M an increase from Q1 2020’s reported revenue of $8.3M. With these results, Lenthor Engineering retains its position as one of the largest privately owned flex and rigid-flex fabrication and assembly companies in North America.
Profit totals for mid-year 2020 also reported in with a significant year over year increase over the same period of 2019. The increase in profitability can be attributed to the previous year’s capitalization expenditures coming on-line during Q3 and Q4 of 2019 and into Q1 2020. Lenthor Engineering’s Order Book continued to show strength as well with a reported 1.06% Book-to-Bill ratio.
Lenthor Engineering is focusing future growth opportunity on moving into full production on designs incorporating advanced dielectric materials. This focus is driven by forecast demand in the use of these materials from several major account partners within Lenthor Engineering’s key markets of support, mil/aero, telecom, and medical.

Happy’s Tech Talk #34: Producibility and Other Pseudo-metrics
11/12/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkAs an engineer, I thrive on data, and one of my favorite forms is metrics. However, the one metric that has always challenged me is producibility. I define this as more than just passing a DRC in CAM, but the entire envelope of “simplicity of design,” “suitability for test,” and many more. Yet, producibility seemed to be different for different engineers and we had no clear way to establish and define producibility other than opinion. When I worked at HP, the company invested in a methodology called design for manufacturing and assembly using the GE/Hitachi Methodology and Dewhurst-Boothroyd software. Finally, I had a methodology that created a producibility score.

Root-cause Analysis and Problem-solving
11/01/2024 | Happy Holden, I-Connect007An essential skill for any process engineer in printed circuit fabrication is the ability to conduct root-cause analysis (RCA) and problem-solving. These are related to TQC and Six Sigma applications and are essential for customer support and continued profitability. All engineers will encounter these methods sooner or later, but it will likely be sooner if you are in product or process engineering in manufacturing.
