2019 Brought Record Sales to Hentec Industries
February 20, 2020 | Hentec Industries Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Hentec Industries, (formerly RPS Automation) a leading US manufacturer of selective solder, lead tinning, and solderability testing equipment, hit record sales in 2019 with the guidance of National Sales Director Tom Baro and the Torenko & Associates team.
Hentec Industries was able to surpass previous year’s sales records in 2019, with the assistance of Tom Baro and his 20+ years of sales experience. He has continued to develop and maintain relationships with independent sales representatives like Ron Torenko, from Torenko & Associates. In turn, this has created many long lasting business relationships, as well as skyrocketing Hentec’s sales in 2019.
During the 2020 IPC APEX Expo in San Diego, Ron Torenko and his team were named Hentec Industries’ Sales Team of the Year for 2019. Torenko & Associates has grown to be one of the top SMT manufacturer representatives in the United States, and only partners with premier electronic equipment manufacturers. The Torenko team is based out of Dallas, TX and their sales region covers Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Mexico. Torenko & Associates has a simple mission statement: to provide you with the best assembly solutions available and at the best price.

Overview of Soldering Systems With Vacuum
12/18/2024 | Dr. Paul Wild, Rehm Thermal Systems GmbHWhen soldering electronic assemblies, the focus of the vacuum application is on the removal of volatile substances from the solder joints and the associated reduction of pore formation. Particularly in the thermal management of power electronics components, pores can cause so-called hotspots with higher temperatures due to their poor heat conduction. These hotspots can lead to overheating of the components on the one hand and to thermally induced destruction of the solder structure on the other.
