CCL Firm Ventec Poised to Grab 5G Opportunities
April 18, 2019 | DigitimesEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Ventec International, a supplier of copper clad laminates (CCL), is poised to reap fruits from deployments in developing 5G and niche products, Digitimes reports.
Company president Jason Chung said that Ventec's revenue performance will improve quarter by quarter in 2019, with shipments of special PCB materials, in particular, to grow significantly.
Chung said that by leveraging its patented formula and special process technology, Ventec has developed lead-free, halogen-free and heat-resistance substrates, heat-dissipation aluminum substrates that have been validated by leading international automakers, and polyimine substrates already certified by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the US and aviation firms. He continued that Ventec is also developing niche-type substrates bearing high unit prices and gross margins and suitable for small-volume production.
Digitimes also reported that Ventec is developing high-frequency and high-speed materials for applications to 5G base stations, switches, and antennas, which are pending validations by potential clients.

Trouble in Your Tank: Organic Addition Agents in Electrolytic Copper Plating
04/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankThere are numerous factors at play in the science of electroplating or, as most often called, electrolytic plating. One critical element is the use of organic addition agents and their role in copper plating. The function and use of these chemical compounds will be explored in more detail.
IDTechEx Highlights Recyclable Materials for PCBs
04/10/2025 | IDTechExConventional printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing is wasteful, harmful to the environment and energy intensive. This can be mitigated by the implementation of new recyclable materials and technologies, which have the potential to revolutionize electronics manufacturing.
Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
