Fine Line Stencil (FLS) and Metal Etching Technology (MET) Associates are merging to form a new company called BlueRing Stencils.
BlueRing Stencils will maintain eight manufacturing locations across the USA (Texas, New Jersey, New Hampshire, California, Florida, Indiana, Minnesota, and North Carolina).
Fred Cox of MET has been appointed president of BlueRing Stencils. “We look forward to providing improved technology and greater service to all of our stencil customers. Our combined companies will allow us to offer the latest innovations in SMT stencil printing,” he commented.
