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."

Driving Innovation: Selecting the Right Laser Source
04/28/2026 | Simon Khesin -- Column: Driving InnovationWhen I first joined Schmoll Maschinen, I brought experience from almost every PCB process, except for laser. As I immersed myself in laser processing, I realized why it can seem so daunting to a newcomer. The complexity arises from three intersecting factors: A vast variety of laser sources: CO2, UV-nano, green-pico, UV-pico, IR-pico, and others; a diverse range of applications: Drilling, cutting, ablation, and more; and an extensive list of materials: These have vastly different absorption rates. Choosing the right machine or laser source is rarely trivial. Even for experienced engineers, answering "Which source is best?" requires examining the business's specific goals.
Institute of Circuit Technology Spring Seminar 2026: A Bright Future in Europe
04/23/2026 | Pete Starkey, I-Connect007Through the leafy lanes and spring flowers of Warwickshire and back to Meridan, the traditional centre of England, and now officially part of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull in the county of the West Midlands, I attended the Annual General Meeting and Spring Seminar of the Institute of Circuit Technology (ICT) on April 14. Out of the AGM came notable changes in leadership at the top of the Institute: the retirement of Mat Beadel as chair and Emma Hudson as technical director. Effective May 1, Steve Driver is the new chair, and Alun Morgan is the new technical director.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Designing PCBs for Harsh Environments—Reliability Is Engineered Upstream
04/23/2026 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsWhen engineers hear the phrase “harsh environment,” they usually think of the extreme temperature swings, vibration and shock, pressure changes, or radiation in aerospace. However, aerospace is not the only harsh environment where electronic assemblies must survive. Automotive power electronics, downhole oil and gas tools, marine controls, rail systems, defense platforms, and industrial automation equipment all expose PCBs to environments that are equally unforgiving. The stress mechanisms may differ, but the physics does not.
