November 10, 2019 | Technica USAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
On October 31, 2019, Technica USA located in San Jose, California announced they reached agreement on an equity investment that will be used to expand the Company’s already successful business model.
The equity investors consist of ELITE MATERIALS CO. LTD (EMC), which Technica has had a relationship with since 2013 as their Master Distributor in North America; CCI EUROLAM a distributor of EMC materials, other consumable products and equipment for the printed circuit board (PCB) industry in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and DRAGON LIMITED ERA, a third-party investor. Collectively, the equity investors will hold a majority interest in the Company.
Technica USA is a major supplier of materials and equipment products suited for the PCB fabrication and surface mount technology (SMT) assembly markets. The investment will allow the Company to add resources that will enable it to rapidly increase their laminate material business and other consumable products while maintaining their major emphasis on growing its equipment sales, service and support to the SMT and PCB fabrication industries.
Frank Medina will remain as an owner and President of the Company. Mr. Medina stated, “I am looking forward to working with the new investors to achieve the Company’s intended objective of growing and strengthening our presence in the U.S. and Canada in both of the markets we serve.” He continued, “The investment will not only be beneficial to our Company’s success but it will be equally valuable to our customers and supply partners.”

Trouble in Your Tank: Materials for PWB Fabrication—Drillability and Metallization
07/16/2024 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankLaminate materials are the building blocks on which printed circuit boards are manufactured. Circuit board designers rely on the critical electrical properties of the materials to design the interconnects, and with the drive toward IoT (internet of things), autonomous driving, and virtual and augmented reality, material properties take on a very high level of importance.
Don’t Overconstrain Your Board Materials
07/02/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamWhen we started planning May’s issue, which centers on the use of traditional laminates in certain high-frequency PCBs, we knew we had to interview Kris Moyer and Ed Kelley together. Kris teaches advanced PCB design classes for IPC, and Ed is the former CTO of Isola and founder of Four Peaks Innovation. What ensued was a wide-ranging discussion on the evolution of “standard” PCB laminates and the recent trend by some OEMs to use these materials in high-frequency and even RF boards.
Underconstraining Your Materials? Leave It to the Experts
05/30/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamWith traditional laminates now sporting improved resin systems, some OEMs are choosing various flavors of FR-4 instead of high-speed laminates for their high-speed designs—even RF applications. Avoiding overconstraining your materials in high-speed products can lead to considerable cost savings, not to mention a more streamlined trip through fabrication.
The Shaughnessy Report: Unlock Your High-speed Material Constraints
05/15/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportThe world of PCB materials used to be a fairly simple one. It was divided into two groups: the “traditional” laminates, often called FR-4, and the high-speed laminates developed especially for high-speed PCBs. These were two worlds that usually didn’t collide. But then traditional laminates started getting better, and high-speed designers and design engineers took notice and started to reconsider what FR-4 could be used for.
Breaking High-speed Material Constraints: Design007 Magazine — May 2024
05/14/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamDo you need specialty materials for your high-speed designs? Maybe not. Improvements in resins mean designers of high-speed boards can sometimes use traditional laminate systems instead of high-speed materials, saving time and money while streamlining the fab process. In the May 2024 issue of Design007 Magazine, our contributors explain how to avoid overconstraining your materials when working with high-speed boards.
