Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. has appointed Sven Schnell technical sales engineer. Sven will support sales activities in Germany and Eastern Europe, specializing in Ventec's advanced IMS/Thermal Management solutions including a distributed range of Thermal Interface Materials (TIM) from EMI Thermal.
Following the recent appointment of Jürgen Knörchen as Sales Director DACH in April and driven by the growing market and Ventec's strengthening position in the German-speaking region, Ventec is continuing to expand its sales force and adding further technical sales expertise. In his role as Technical Sales Engineer, Sven will be responsible for business development activities in Germany and Eastern Europe, specializing in thermal management solutions to help the company further develop its presence in the region. With his extensive knowledge and experience in applications requiring thermal performance beyond FR-4, Sven will play a key role in driving forward Ventec's insulated metal substrate (IMS) material families, thermally conductive and standard laminates and prepregs for multilayer PCBs as well as a complementary range of thermal interface materials (TIM) under Ventec's distributor agreement with EMI Thermal.
Sven has over 25 years of technical experience, joining Ventec from Henkel and Bergquist where he started out as Field Sales Manager and most recently acted as Account Manager for Siemens AG. He previously worked in sales & engineering roles with leading companies such as Würth, Hirose Electric and AVX/Elco and has a technical education in electronics.
"I am pleased to welcome Sven to our expanding technical team in Germany. His extensive industry knowledge and his specialist expertise for IMS materials will further enhance our commitment to providing technical support at the highest level to our German-speaking customers," said Jürgen Knörchen, Sales Director DACH at Ventec International Group. Mark Goodwin, COO EMEA & Americas added, "Building on the momentum from our IPO on the Taiwanese Stock Exchange this month, we continue to invest in our strong and skilled global team to help meet the growing demand for Ventec products & solutions."

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.
