February 23, 2018 | Technica USAEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Technica USA reported that Cirexx International, Inc of Santa Clara, California purchased their third CBT/MLI DI system recently. This unit will be displayed at the upcoming IPC APEX EXPO in San Diego.
Phil Menges, President of Cirexx stated, “Our business keeps growing and it is requiring us to expand our capacity and capabilities. One of the areas we needed to expand was in Imaging. Our focus and efforts were to become 100% DI dependent. DI imaging technology has made some dramatic improvements to the consistency, quality and efficiency of our PCB manufacturing operation and we are very pleased to have standardize our DI platform on the CBT/MLI technology. The equipment has proven to be reliable and fully capable of meeting our printing needs for innerlayer, outer layer and solder mask. What I am most impressed with is that CBT continues to advance their technology at a rapid pace, keeping up on the technological demands placed on our industry”.
Frank Medina, President of Technica USA, stated, “Technica and CBT appreciates the faith that Cirexx has placed in our two companies. They have made a major investment to stay on the leading edge in technology. We are pleased to have been given the opportunity to work closely with them to ensure they get the full benefit of their investment.”
Mr. Menges concluded, “Technica USA is a major supplier to Cirexx because of the level of support they provide to our company each and every day. Our recent purchase of the third CBT/MLI DI is a testament to the technology, performance and the support we have experienced.”
