Lenthor Engineering, Inc., a California based designer, manufacturer and assembler of rigid-flex and flex printed circuit boards, announces its 2019 year-end financial results.
Strong performance was reported for Q4 2019 with revenue totaling $9.2M compared to Q4 2018 revenues of $7.8M representing a 18.5% increase. Total revenue for the full calendar year 2019 reported in at $35.1M compared to $27.5M in 2018 an impressive 21.7% increase. With these results Lenthor Engineering retains its positon as one of the largest privately owned flex and rigid-flex fabrication and assembly companies in North America.
Profit totals for both Q4 2019 and full calendar year 2019 also reported in as exceptional resulting in a significant year over year increase. The increase in profitability can be attributed to the previous year’s capitalization expenditures coming on-line during 2019.
Lenthor Engineering continues funding of its business expansion plans with capital expenditures in 2020 planned for $2.5M. This level of expenditure is due to forecasted growth in Lenthor’s Mil/Aero, Telecomm and Medical market segments along with a rebounding Semiconductor Equipment Manufacturing segment.

Happy’s Tech Talk #34: Producibility and Other Pseudo-metrics
11/12/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkAs an engineer, I thrive on data, and one of my favorite forms is metrics. However, the one metric that has always challenged me is producibility. I define this as more than just passing a DRC in CAM, but the entire envelope of “simplicity of design,” “suitability for test,” and many more. Yet, producibility seemed to be different for different engineers and we had no clear way to establish and define producibility other than opinion. When I worked at HP, the company invested in a methodology called design for manufacturing and assembly using the GE/Hitachi Methodology and Dewhurst-Boothroyd software. Finally, I had a methodology that created a producibility score.

Root-cause Analysis and Problem-solving
11/01/2024 | Happy Holden, I-Connect007An essential skill for any process engineer in printed circuit fabrication is the ability to conduct root-cause analysis (RCA) and problem-solving. These are related to TQC and Six Sigma applications and are essential for customer support and continued profitability. All engineers will encounter these methods sooner or later, but it will likely be sooner if you are in product or process engineering in manufacturing.
