Ventec to Invest $300K in German Service Center
June 19, 2018 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce a $300,000 investment for its Central European facility in Kirchheimbolanden, Germany. The plan includes an upgrade to the clean-room environment, an additional Yowshi diamond blade saw and the installation of an aluminum coil cutting line.
Following a period of sustained growth and a successful listing of Ventec International Group on the Taipei emerging stock market in January 2018, Ventec is committed to further strengthen its German facility and team in Kirchheimbolanden as part of the company’s phased and strategic investment plan across our global network of service centers.
A $300,000 investment program at the German service center has been approved for an upgraded clean room environment for prepreg panelisation and the installation of an additional diamond blade saw from Taiwanese manufacturer Yowshi, to increase laminate cutting capacity and flexibility, and shorten lead-times. Further investment is being made to the consumables business with the installation of an aluminum coil cutting line to improve capability and increase capacity for drill entry materials.
Mark Goodwin, COO EMEA & USA, said, “We are experiencing unprecedented growth at Ventec and the German business unit is central to Ventec International Group’s global supply chain strategy. In line with the growth in demand, the investment in Germany will ensure an increase of our production capability, sustained quality assurance and continued reliability of on-time material delivery by creating the capacity and flexibility to deliver on our goals, whilst at the same time committing to sustain employment at the facility in Kirchheimbolanden.”

Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Design Essentials for Electric Vehicle Charging
11/27/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsElectric vehicles (EVs), powered by electricity rather than fossil fuels, are transforming transportation and reducing environmental impacts. But what good is an EV if it can't be easily charged? In this month's column, Ramon Roche dives into the role of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electric vehicle charging (EVC)—and the design considerations.
Unlocking Advanced Circuitry Through Liquid Metal Ink
10/31/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamPCB UHDI technologist John Johnson of American Standard Circuits discusses the evolving landscape of electronics manufacturing and the critical role of innovation, specifically liquid metal ink technology, as an alternate process to traditional metallization in PCB fabrication to achieve ever finer features and tighter tolerances. The discussion highlights the benefits of reliability, efficiency, and yields as a tradeoff to any increased cost to run the process. As this technology becomes better understood and accepted, even sought out by customers and designers, John says there is a move toward mainstream incorporation.
Fresh PCB Concepts: The Critical Nature of Copper Thickness on PCBs
10/31/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsPCBs are the backbone of modern electronics and the copper layers within these boards serve as the primary pathways for electrical signals. When designing and manufacturing PCBs, copper thickness is one of the most critical factors and significantly affects the board’s performance and durability. The IPC-6012F specification, the industry standard for the performance and qualification of rigid PCBs, sets clear guidelines on copper thickness to ensure reliability in different environments and applications.
