Ventec Builds Global Inventory of High-Speed/Low Loss/High Frequency Materials
January 8, 2020 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
In response to high demand and laminate material supply issues affecting some producers of low transmission loss and high frequency laminates and prepregs, Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. (6672 TT) has implemented material inventory and supply chain measures with favorable order requirements. In doing so, Ventec ensures that customers can continue to rely on uninterrupted material delivery through the company’s fully controlled and managed global supply chain.
Many PCB manufacturers around the world are currently experiencing supply issues and long lead-times for high-speed low loss & high frequency materials due to a combination of supply chain disruption and increased demand from 5G applications. In response to the resulting increased demand for Ventec’s tec-speed solutions, the company has made key strategic supply chain adjustments for fast manufacturing cycle times with expedited and flexible freight logistics to ensure customers can continue to rely on Ventec’s fully managed and controlled supply chain for uninterrupted material delivery around the globe.
At its manufacturing plants in China and Taiwan, production capability and capacity for critical materials has been increased to allow for current and anticipated greater demand as 5G applications grow. At the same time, inventory of Ventec’s tec-speed 6.0, 7.0, 7.1 & 20.0 high-speed low loss & high frequency materials is being built in all overseas warehouse facilities (UK, Germany, USA) for quick turn-around deliveries. Reduced minimum order quantity requirements is being offered to help new customers fulfil their manufacturing obligations.
"Since the supply of high-speed, low transmission loss materials has tightened, PCB manufacturers and OEMs are being forced to manage risks such as long lead times and supply disruptions," explains Mark Goodwin, COO Europe & Americas. "Ventec offers a range of products that remain unaffected by capacity constraints. Our customers are thus benefiting from uninterrupted access to high-quality material solutions with normal lead-times. Given the circumstances, we've also relaxed some of our standard order requirements for those materials to help customers manage their needs."

Closing the Loop on PCB Etching Waste
09/09/2025 | Shawn Stone, IECAs the PCB industry continues its push toward greener, more cost-efficient operations, Sigma Engineering’s Mecer System offers a comprehensive solution to two of the industry’s most persistent pain points: etchant consumption and rinse water waste. Designed as a modular, fully automated platform, the Mecer System regenerates spent copper etchants—both alkaline and acidic—and simultaneously recycles rinse water, transforming a traditionally linear chemical process into a closed-loop system.
Driving Innovation: Depth Routing Processes—Achieving Unparalleled Precision in Complex PCBs
09/08/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, the demand for increasingly complex and miniaturized designs continually pushes the boundaries of traditional fabrication methods, including depth routing. Success in these applications demands not only on robust machinery but also sophisticated control functions. PCB manufacturers rely on advanced machine features and process methodologies to meet their precise depth routing goals. Here, I’ll explore some crucial functions that empower manufacturers to master complex depth routing challenges.
Trouble in Your Tank: Minimizing Small-via Defects for High-reliability PCBs
08/27/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankTo quote the comedian Stephen Wright, “If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you.” That can be the battle cry when you find that only small-diameter vias are exhibiting voids. Why are small holes more prone to voids than larger vias when processed through electroless copper? There are several reasons.
The Government Circuit: Navigating New Trade Headwinds and New Partnerships
08/25/2025 | Chris Mitchell -- Column: The Government CircuitAs global trade winds continue to howl, the electronics manufacturing industry finds itself at a critical juncture. After months of warnings, the U.S. Government has implemented a broad array of tariff increases, with fresh duties hitting copper-based products, semiconductors, and imports from many nations. On the positive side, tentative trade agreements with Europe, China, Japan, and other nations are providing at least some clarity and counterbalance.
How Good Design Enables Sustainable PCBs
08/21/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectSustainability has become a key focus for PCB companies seeking to reduce waste, conserve energy, and optimize resources. While many discussions on sustainability center around materials or energy-efficient processes, PCB design is an often overlooked factor that lies at the heart of manufacturing. Good design practices, especially those based on established IPC standards, play a central role in enabling sustainable PCB production. By ensuring designs are manufacturable and reliable, engineers can significantly reduce the environmental impact of their products.
