Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.

AT&S Bags First Place at “Austria’s Leading Companies” in Styria
November 18, 2015 | AT&SEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Last night the economically strongest companies of Styria were awarded for the 17th time at the “Austria’s Leading Companies” gala at List Halle in Graz. This established competition is also considered the “Oscar of Austrian business”.
AT&S won first place in the Styrian ranking in the category “Big Player” (companies with annual revenue of more than € 50 million).
The decisive factor for the rating is the “hard currency” of business life, i.e., key financials like revenue growth, profit margin, cash flow and liquidity. Last year AT&S had reached third place. The companies were rated by PwC and KSV, and Wirtschaftsblatt was the media partner.
Andreas Gerstenmayer was pleased with the award: “This result reflects our clear high-end positioning in the market. The basis is a consistent long-term strategy and above all highly qualified and enthusiastic employees who give their best for our customers every day. I can only repeat again that winning this prize is not just a distinction for AT&S as a company, but a recognition of the achievements of all our committed employees.”
Next Monday the “Austria’s Leading Companies” winners for Austria will be announced in Vienna.

Is China Plus One Still Happening in the PCB Industry?
04/28/2026 | Manfred Huschka, Manfred Huschka Management Consulting (Shenzhen) Ltd.For much of the past five years, China Plus One has been shorthand for supply-chain diversification: reducing dependency on mainland China by adding manufacturing capacity elsewhere in Asia. In the PCB industry, however, in early 2026, it is more nuanced. It looks less like a clean geographic shift and more like a layered, capital-intensive rebalancing of global capacity, one that still leaves China deeply embedded at the center.
It's Only Common Sense: See Your Marketing as a Discipline, Not a Department
04/27/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWhat does marketing mean to you? Is it a corner office with cool posters on the wall? Is it the person running your LinkedIn page or the trade show booth with the shiny graphics and the bowl of candy? Yes, marketing is those things, but it’s more than that. It’s a discipline, and if you treat it like a department, you’re already losing.
