The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

Elmatica Is Accelerating Growth With Nearly 10% Staff Increase in One Week
April 1, 2020 | ElmaticaEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

Elmatica is accelerating its growth with nearly a 10% staff increase in one week
“Welcoming new colleagues is always an honour. Increasing the number of colleagues with close to 10% on one day, is particularly pleasant these days, when unprecedented challenges and potential recessions are dominating the news," says CEO Didrik Bech.
Growing demand, new customers and an increase in business within knowledge intensive industries, has reinforced the need for another Country Manager in Poland, a new Technical Manager and an additional resource in the Customer Service Department.
The Sales Department expanded with an additional Country Manager in Poland, Adam Szostek, Maria Ricart Bou joined as Technical Manager in Technical Department, and Maryam El Bakkali is a temporary resource in Customer Service Department.
“A growing demand and increase in new business, has augmented the need for another Country Manager in Poland, an exciting and rapidly growing market for us. The Technical Department handles thousands of EQs and stack ups for our customers each year. Maria is a vital support to ensure that the department utilizes its resources and manages its projects efficiently. Maryam has supported the Customer Service Department from week one during this highly unpredictable global situation, handling thousands of orders requiring extra attention due to the Corona situation. We are very pleased to have Adam, Maria and Maryam onboard, “says Bech.
Adam Szostek studied Economics at the University of Gda?sk, started his career in sales of PCB at Technoservice, then proceeded to DGTronik as Sales Director for approximately 15 years. He is experienced with and trained in PCB and PCBA manufacturing processes, and passionate about operational processes optimization.
“Welcoming new colleagues is always a pleasure, particularly in these days when unprecedented challenges and potential recessions are dominating the news. Adams' long experience in the electronics assembly business, sourcing of Printed Circuit Boards and components, demonstrates that he is the person we were looking for," says CEO Didrik Bech.
"I am happy and proud to become a part of the Elmatica family. Their strong reputation in the industry, knowledge, experience and mindset on how to be an integrated partner in their customers supply chain, made it an easy choice to join their team. How they have developed and offer transparency, tailormade IT systems, and a dedicated focus on compliance with a global manufacturing partner base, was just the frosting on the cake. I am looking forward to working with and getting to know my new colleagues even better, says Adam Szostek.
Maria Ricart Bou has joined the Elmatica team, from Tesla Motors Inc. in Oslo, where she has been handling project management, customer claims and service support. Her background is from Economics and Project Management (Bachelor in Economics, PRINCE2 Project Management).
Maryam El Bakkali is covering a Maternity leave in Customer Service. She is French with a Masters Degree in Engineering, and has been working for the Environmental Department in France, and Envision/Total E&P and Envision/Cegal in Norway.
