Indium Corporation, a global electronics materials refiner, smelter, manufacturer, and supplier, announced that Solder Chemistry, a German producer of soldering technology, is now part of the Indium Corporation family. The joining of these two companies further expands Indium Corporation’s reach in the European electronics market and creates an extended platform for Solder Chemistry’s distinctive product offerings and technology. Each company will continue to offer products and solutions via its established sales and service networks.
“Solder Chemistry and Indium Corporation operate with the same customer goals and benefits in mind,” said Brian Craig, Managing Director of Indium Corporation’s European Operations. “Both companies share a commitment to keeping our factories running efficiently through the supply of advanced materials, superior technical support, and excellent customer service.”
“Solder Chemistry and Indium Corporation are both committed to working side-by-side to secure our future success,” said Robert Sudnik, Geschäftsführer, Solder Chemistry. “I am eager to work directly alongside Indium Corporation in bringing this new relationship to life and taking advantage of the resources this brings to our customers and the broader electronics industry.”
Indium Corporation has been active in the European market for over 30 years, including facilities in Milton Keynes, UK. Indium Corporation was among one of the first soldering materials suppliers to earn the IATF-16949:2016 management system certificates at five of its manufacturing facilities that produce products for automotive applications. The IATF 16949:2016 is an international Automotive Quality Management System Standard aimed at continuous improvement, emphasizing defect prevention, and reducing variation and waste in the automotive industry supply chain.

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
