EIPC to Address Raw Material Price Hikes at Winter Conference
December 14, 2016 | EIPCEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
The European Institute of Printed Circuits (EIPC) will be running a special panel discussion at the upcoming EIPC Winter Conference in Salzburg to look at the issues facing the raw materials supply chain for the PCB industry worldwide.
The price increases that have taken, and are taking, place will have a significant impact on both the manufacturers and the end-users, and there is uncertainty over the length of duration of these cost hikes.
EIPC have gathered together Andres Folge from Technolam, Karl Stollenwerk from Isola and Thomas Michels from Ventec to talk about the impact of this issue in the global PCB supply chain.
This is an additional item on the programme, and will take place immediately after the keynote speech by Walt Custer of Custer Consulting who is quite familiar with the reasons behind the recent increases.
The Winter Conference takes place on February 2–3, 2017 at the Wyndham Grand Hotel in Salzburg.

Nolan’s Notes: Chips Don’t Float
09/05/2023 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesRonnie Chatterji is returning to academia. This is big news because Chatterji is the technology advisor to the Biden administration, and a central figure in shepherding the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. Steven Overly, writing in Politico on Aug. 2, 2023, says that Chatterji’s return to Duke University “comes as the Biden administration’s semiconductor strategy has evolved from a frenzied search for a short-term fix to the global chips shortage to placing long-term bets on the U.S.-based manufacturing facilities in an effort to depend less on suppliers in Taiwan.”
