Ventec’s German Facility Successfully Passes ISO 9001:2015 Audit
August 15, 2018 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec International Group’s Central European facility located in Kirchheimbolanden, Germany has successfully passed the audit for the ISO 9001:2015 quality management standard.
The nearly 3000sqm manufacturing, distribution and sales facility in Germany was first certified for ISO 9001:2015 back in 2016 joining Ventec's global network of manufacturing and service centers in Asia, Europe and the USA that all comply with the standard.
PCB fabrication customers can continue to rely on Ventec's fully accredited supply chain for high reliability laminates and prepregs. From manufacture through fabrication and delivery, Ventec's high-quality product portfolio of polyimides, high reliability FR4, its tec-speed range of high speed/low loss materials and the tec-thermal range of high performance IMS materials are all covered by the certification.
"ISO guidelines and quality certifications such as AS9100 Rev D, IATF 16949:2016 and IPC 4101 QPL are very important for Ventec," said Mark Goodwin, COO Europe & Americas. "Passing the audit at our German facility in Kirchheimbolanden is in line with our overall strategy to offer best services and quality materials to our clients across our global supply chain. ISO 9001 along with our other certifications recognizes that our team ensures consistent quality of our solutions."
Frank Lorentz, Production Manager at the German facility added: "The team in Kirchheimbolanden should take great pride in this accomplishment which reflects their hard work in implementing and practicing the highest levels of quality throughout our manufacturing processes, enabling our customers to engage Ventec as a strategic partner in their safety-critical supply chains, based on our commitment to managing delivered quality to the highest standards."

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.
