Relocating from Arizona, the new Koh Young America facility located just outside of Atlanta, Georgia houses corporate, operations, applications, and customer support. The expanded headquarters also includes dedicated training rooms and equipment, as well as solder paste inspection (SPI), automated optical inspection (AOI), and automated pin inspect (API) machines for customer demonstrations and evaluations. Furthermore, it is a showcase for our latest award-winning KSMART and Koh Young Process Optimizer (KPO) software tools that help our partners understand and adopt smart factory technologies.
With a crowd of partners, customers, and distinguished guests in support, Koh Young America unveiled its new ultramodern corporate headquarters for the Americas. Located in the Atlanta area, this new location will lay the foundation for an elevated user experience that will further bolster Koh Young America and its customers in the region and across the world. “It is an immense pleasure to personally welcome each of you to the grand opening of Koh Young’s new Americas headquarters.

Juan Arango, Managing Director of Koh Young America continued, “We have been growing so incredibly fast. Our sales have nearly tripled over the past few years. Whether it is our true 3D inspection equipment or our KSMART solutions, the electronics assembly market has clearly embraced our innovative technologies. While our award-winning technologies helped fuel this growth, our support network remains the backbone of our success. Our new facility will help us continue our trajectory while providing a command center to serve our customers and the market.”
During its growth, Koh Young America has been expanding its service and support team with direct hires strategically positioned across the Americas. Today, the company has nearly 50 employees focused on ensuring an outstanding user experience. Thanks to this focus, Koh Young continues to raise the standards for customer service. Moreover, Koh Young America is still growing. It continues to introduce innovative technologies, applications, and processes. “As customers join the Koh Young family, our new facility will ensure their success with dedicated training, service, and applications support. We are focused on creating a unique user experience, which is partially why we relocated to Atlanta,” expressed Mr. Arango.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
