Lenthor Engineering, a California-based designer, manufacturer and assembler of rigid-flex and flex PCBs, announces its financial results for the third quarter (Q3 2017).
Total revenue for Q3 2017 came in at $6.806 million, up by 2% from the $6.722 million in Q3 2016. Strong revenue performance continues from Q2 2017, which came in at $6.207 million, and Q1 2017 coming in at $6.192 million. Profit totals for Q3 2017 continue to be strong with full year 2017 profit to be on pace to exceed levels reported in 2016.
Lenthor Engineering's strong financial position allows Lenthor to continue funding of its business expansion plans with capital expenditures in 2017 planned for $2.44 million. As part of that plan, Lenthor has expended $2 million to date in its assembly and fabrication area. The expenditures in assembly, which include both solder paste AOI and component AOI, along with a new pick and place line, provide Lenthor's customers with the level of quality assurance and throughput necessary in today's demanding and competitive marketplace.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
05/30/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007I don’t have a scorecard, but I do have a weekly wrap-up of must-reads that I think deserve another “bite of the apple,” so to speak. IPC’s Rich Cappetto shares his perspective on everything from tariffs to the CHIPS Act. Columnist Josh Casper discusses the use of AI in 3D AOI systems and the immediate benefits that AI can bring about. Columnist Anaya Vardya explains how technologies like AI can improve our customer service, as well as our manufacturing processes.
Smart Automation: AI—Revolutionizing Inspection in Electronics Manufacturing
05/27/2025 | Josh Casper -- Column: Smart AutomationArtificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a staple in our personal and professional lives. In electronics manufacturing, integrating AI to combat common inefficiencies and to contextualize data will open new doors into how we supplement our traditional processes. In some specific areas of the electronics manufacturing process, integration of AI on the factory floor is already having a tremendous effect. One such area is PCBA inspection, particularly 3D automated optical inspection (AOI) systems.

Hunting for Clues: Feng Xue Solving Circuit Board 'Crimes' With AOI Standard
05/08/2025 | Linda Stepanich, IPCWhen residents in sleepy English villages needed a top-tier detective to solve a murder, they called on Belgian super-sleuth Hercule Poirot, author Agatha Christie’s fictional detective famous for using his “little grey cells” to solve crimes. In the same way, IPC standards development committees, when creating a standard to detect defects in circuit boards using Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), call on IPC A-Team, Hercule.
