Ventec International Expands UK Clean-Room Manufacturing Capacity
June 13, 2017 | Ventec USAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec International Group, a world leader in the production of polyimide and high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs, is upgrading the fabrication capability and capacity at its United Kingdom facility with an investment into new state-of-the-art equipment for copper foil cutting in a Class 10,000 (ISO 7) clean-room environment.
To capture growth opportunities in the high-end, high-performance markets, which are driven by particular demand from high reliability automotive, military and aerospace applications, Ventec is investing in additional equipment to increase capacity to deliver medium volume copper foil cutting capability in its Class 10,000 (ISO 7) clean-room facility in Leamington Spa. The new facility is planned to be operational during July 2017.
Adding additional copper foil cutting capacity in the UK offers customers a unique advantage through fast delivery of cut-to-size copper foils from CCP for processing with Ventec's range of copper clad laminates and prepregs.
Mark Goodwin, COO Europe & USA, commented, "Ventec's phased and strategic investment plan across our global network of service centers is continuing throughout 2017, enabling us to offer our customers one single quick-turn access point to an extraordinary portfolio of laminates & prepregs and complementary consumable products & services. All Ventec's facilities are designed to meet the strictest clean room standards, and the UK is no exception."

Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
