In 2013, IBL acquired the U.S. vapor phase manufacturer, R&D Technical Services, and expanded its technical center and manufacturing capabilities in Burnsville, Minnesota.
The event kicked off with a toast to the company's 30-years of success and included a presentation of new machines, as well as training on new machine features. Brainstorming sessions were held with the industry's top manufacturers' representatives to discuss future projects and improvements.
IBL prides itself with the development of several vapor phase soldering machines, from batch to inline, as well as a vacuum series of systems. Today, IBL has a wide customer range from all industry segments of the electronic industry and more than 2,000 installed machines worldwide. The company provides the highest soldering quality, low running costs and customer-oriented solutions. For more information, visit www.ibl-tech.com.
