Dynamic Electronics Confirms Reports of Layoffs
August 27, 2019 | I-Connect007Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Dynamic Electronics Co. Ltd, one of the leading providers of PCBs in Taiwan, was recently reported to be laying off more than 400 of its employees.
In a statement released to the Taiwan Stock Exchange, Dynamic confirms the layoffs, saying that it is being carried out to improve the company's overall competitiveness since the global economy turned weak this year due to the impact of the US-China trade war.
In conjunction with the group's production line consolidation, Dynamic said it plans to transfer the production capacity of the Taoyuan Plant to its overseas factories. The Taoyuan Operation Headquarters will be fully devoted to R&D, product technical services and group orders.
To accommodate this restructuring, the staff will be retained in the operation headquarters according to the nature of the job, be assigned to the overseas factory, or be arranged according to their own career planning. The company will also engage with the industry to refer employees for possible employment.
On August 15, the company notified the Department of Labor regarding its layoffs. The matter will be handled in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations.

While many in the industry have been pursuing miniaturization, faster placement speeds, and higher-density PCBs, certain market sectors are moving in the opposite direction.
Weaning the U.S. Military Off a Tablet Supply Chain That Leads to China
09/08/2025 | Jim Will, USPAETablet computers are essential to how our military fights, moves and sustains, but these devices are built on a fragile global supply chain with strong ties to China. Building domestic manufacturing to eliminate this vulnerability is feasible if we tap into the information and capabilities that already exist and create strong demand for tablets produced by trusted and assured sources.

Defense Speak Interpreted: If CHIPS Cuts Back, What Happens to Electronics Packaging Funds?
09/02/2025 | Dennis Fritz -- Column: Defense Speak InterpretedIn my May column, I examined the topic of the CHIPS Act and its current status as a U.S. government program. I found that CHIPS activities continue, but some corporations have delayed or canceled them because of budget cuts or corporation-specific problems. However, CHIPS integrated circuits—mostly administered by the Department of Commerce—don’t fully drive the electronics interconnection activity being funded by the government. Let’s cover the progress/status of other programs:
Facing the Future: Challenges and Opportunities in Reshoring PCB Manufacturing
08/12/2025 | Prashant Patel -- Column: Facing the FutureFor decades, offshore manufacturing dominated the global electronics industry. The pursuit of cost efficiency, scalability, and access to vast labor markets made countries like China, Taiwan, and Vietnam attractive destinations for printed circuit board (PCB) production. But a seismic shift is underway, from geopolitical instability and supply chain disruptions to rising labor costs and national security concerns.
