Ventec International Group is pleased to announce that its European facility in Kirchheimbolanden, Germany, is now certified according to AS9100 Revision D (DIN EN 9100), the quality-management standard for the aviation, space, and defense (ASD) industries.
The success of the audit, by certifying body DEKRA, attests to the high standards consistent throughout the Ventec organization. The Group’s locations in China and the UK are also certified to AS9100 Revision D, while US locations were certified to ISO 9001 in 2020, giving OEMs and PCB fabricators access to a highly accredited supply chain for high-reliability laminates and prepregs.
Frank Lorentz, General Manager of Ventec's wholly owned subsidiary Ventec Central Europe GmbH, commented, “I would like to thank Matthias Rupp and the entire team in Kirchheimbolanden who have worked relentlessly to show that our systems fulfill the strict requirements of DIN EN 9100 (AS9100). We are particularly proud to be one of only a few companies in Germany to have achieved this certification in the past year, which provides the highest assurance of consistently exceptional service for our customers in ASD as well as automotive, industrial, and consumer sectors.”
Ventec’s German facility supports the company’s complete product portfolio of high-quality products that includes high-performance polyimides, high-reliability FR4 products, the tec-speed range of high-speed/low-loss materials, and tec-thermal IMS materials. The site provides prepreg and laminate handling facilities including a dedicated laminate cutting room and temperature- and humidity-controlled ISO 7 (Class 10000) clean-room for epoxy prepreg cutting and packing.
Supplemented by the company’s main manufacturing sites, which are certified to the IATF 16949 automotive standard as well as AS9100 Revision D, the certification of Ventec’s German facility further strengthens the global network and boosts the value proposition for customers in all sectors.

Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
Trump Copper Tariffs Spark Concern
07/10/2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamPresident Donald Trump stated on July 8 that he plans to impose a 50% tariff on copper imports, sparking concern in a global industry whose output is critical to electric vehicles, military hardware, semiconductors, and a wide range of consumer goods. According to Yahoo Finance, copper futures climbed over 2% following tariff confirmation.
Happy’s Tech Talk #40: Factors in PTH Reliability—Hole Voids
07/09/2025 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkWhen we consider via reliability, the major contributing factors are typically processing deviations. These can be subtle and not always visible. One particularly insightful column was by Mike Carano, “Causes of Plating Voids, Pre-electroless Copper,” where he outlined some of the possible causes of hole defects for both plated through-hole (PTH) and blind vias.
Trouble in Your Tank: Can You Drill the Perfect Hole?
07/07/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankIn the movie “Friday Night Lights,” the head football coach (played by Billy Bob Thornton) addresses his high school football team on a hot day in August in West Texas. He asks his players one question: “Can you be perfect?” That is an interesting question, in football and the printed circuit board fabrication world, where being perfect is somewhat elusive. When it comes to mechanical drilling and via formation, can you drill the perfect hole time after time?
The Evolution of Picosecond Laser Drilling
06/19/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIs it hard to imagine a single laser pulse reduced not only from nanoseconds to picoseconds in its pulse duration, but even to femtoseconds? Well, buckle up because it seems we are there. In this interview, Dr. Stefan Rung, technical director of laser machines at Schmoll Maschinen GmbH, traces the technology trajectory of the laser drill from the CO2 laser to cutting-edge picosecond and hybrid laser drilling systems, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each method, and demonstrating how laser innovations are shaping the future of PCB fabrication.
