Ventec International Group is pleased to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its wholly owned subsidiary Ventec Europe GmbH in Kirchheimbolanden, Germany. Since its formation on 27th October 2010, the German facility has grown into a state-of-the-art operation offering warehousing & distribution, sales & technical service expertise and quick turn manufacturing capabilities including an ISO 7 (Class 10000) clean room for prepreg panel fabrication.
Ventec Europe GmbH was established in 2010 to support Ventec International Group’s global operations as an integral part of the company’s fully controlled and managed global supply chain, sales- and technical support-network. Driven by demand from high reliability automotive, medical, military and aerospace applications, Ventec’s Central European manufacturing & distribution center in Germany, has grown into a key strategic quick turn fabrication and distribution hub for customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Over the past decade, the facility has expanded through continuous investment by its parent company which is dedicated to consistently providing and maintaining meticulous aerospace-standard cleanliness in Germany and key locations around the world. Today, the ISO 9001-certified prepreg and laminate handling facility (supplemented by the company’s main manufacturing site certifications of AS9100 Rev D for aerospace and IATF 16949:2016 for automotive certifications), boasts a fully upgraded 650sqm dedicated laminate cutting room with state-of-the-art extraction fittings, two diamond blade saws and an immaculately presented, upgraded temperature & humidity-controlled ISO 7 (Class 10000) clean-room for epoxy prepreg cutting and packing. The Pasquato slitter/sheeter within the clean-room has a constant laminar down-flow of highly filtered air to give an ultra-clean operating environment with real-time monitoring of temperature and humidity.
With 5G driving even greater demand for high-performance formulations characterized by very low losses, Ventec is now ramping up to support PCB manufacturers in this key transformation process. Mark Goodwin, COO Europe & America explained: “5G and applications like 77GHz automotive radar are set for explosive growth and are calling for ever more technically specialized materials. Tightly controlled dielectric constant and low dissipation factor are needed to ensure signal integrity and minimize power demand and heat dissipation. Low passive intermodulation and good thermal stability are also required. At Ventec, our advanced tec-speed and tec-thermal materials will make the difference in achieving our customers’ technical requirements for the 5G revolution.”
Frank Lorentz, Internal General Manager at Ventec’s German facility continued: “As an integral part of our state-of-the-art facilities around the world, and supported by an excellent team, our facility in Germany ensures that we maintain the high quality of solutions and services that are witnessing increasing demand across our client base in Europe and beyond. As we celebrate the 10th anniversary, my heartfelt gratitude goes out to our loyal customers for their continued support and the great team here and across the Ventec family for their dedication and hard work without whom the exponential growth and tremendous success of Ventec would not have been possible.”

The Evolution of Picosecond Laser Drilling
06/19/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIs it hard to imagine a single laser pulse reduced not only from nanoseconds to picoseconds in its pulse duration, but even to femtoseconds? Well, buckle up because it seems we are there. In this interview, Dr. Stefan Rung, technical director of laser machines at Schmoll Maschinen GmbH, traces the technology trajectory of the laser drill from the CO2 laser to cutting-edge picosecond and hybrid laser drilling systems, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each method, and demonstrating how laser innovations are shaping the future of PCB fabrication.

Preventing Surface Prep Defects and Ensuring Reliability
06/10/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIn printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication, surface preparation is a critical process that ensures strong adhesion, reliable plating, and long-term product performance. Without proper surface treatment, manufacturers may encounter defects such as delamination, poor solder mask adhesion, and plating failures. This article examines key surface preparation techniques, common defects resulting from improper processes, and real-world case studies that illustrate best practices.
RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
