Holiday Message from President of the THPCA
December 23, 2019 | THPCAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
First and foremost, on behalf of the Thailand Printed Circuit Association (THPCA), we would like to convey our warmest greetings to all of you. The year 2019 has been marked by noteworthy occasions for the Thailand PCB industry and we have accomplished a significant milestone when we received official certification from the Thai government to acknowledge the THPCA establishment on October 28, 2019.
THPCA was established by Thailand PCB manufacturers who share the common goals and objectives to develop the PCB industry and make the strategic positions in the global supply chain of electronic devices. Besides, we would like to provide a reliable source and portfolio of PCB market information, technology mapping, implement PCB production standards, in parallel with the cooperation with the global markets and human resource development.
As Thailand is playing an important role in the PCB manufacturing activities in the Southeast Asia region, it is our THPCA mission to strengthen long-term partnership with Thailand and Asian countries as well as develop the global network with WECC through collaborative events and maintaining our momentum and reinforcing the commitment.
THPCA will continue to collaborate closely with WECC members as a close business alliance and move forward to the next episodes of transforming the future of PCB industry together. We look forward to sharing ideas and initiatives among our team in the year 2020.
Last but not least, in the midst of all the festive seasons, we would like to extend our sincere thankfulness to all WECC members for their collaboration that you have granted to THPCA. We wish you and your family Happy Holidays and a prosperous new year 2020.
Yours sincerely,
Pitharn Ongkosit, President, Thailand Printed Circuit Association

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
11/22/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007In this week’s roundup, I’m highlighting a variety of articles. We have an interview with Jess Hollenbaugh, a recent graduate working for Polar Instruments. We also have an interview with IPC’s Matt Kelly and Devan Iyer, whose white paper may provide a way forward for companies dealing with complex advanced packages. Our newest columnist Tom Yang describes the U.S. PCB industry from the point of view of a technologist from another country, and Dan Beaulieu has a review of Malcolm Gladwell’s follow-up to The Tipping Point. Finally, we have my review of PCB Carolina, a one-day tabletop show that keeps expanding, much like my waistline after eating their catered food. Enjoy!
