Michael Gleason joins GreenSource Fabrication LLC
August 11, 2021 | GreenSourceEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Michael M. Gleason has recently joined GreenSource Fabrication LLC as director of product development.
Michael’s arrival will add more depth to the company’s vision of how product development needs to evolve; understanding market needs and develop products and processes that address those needs. While also being prudent business opportunities to continue GreenSource Fabrication on the growth path that was started four years ago.
Michael will create a Product Development Team that will focus on all aspects of developing products and processes, up to and including launching the products into the marketplace.
Michael has worked in the industry for 15+ years and brings a wide breadth of knowledge and experience to GreenSource Fabrication. Most recently Michael was a Principle PCB Manufacturing Engineer for Draper Laboratories in Cambridge, MA. Prior to Draper Laboratories Michael held various management positions for West Coast PCB fabricators. Michael is excited about our new facility and will be involved very early in the product development cycle, an approach he believes will revolutionize GreenSource Fabrication‘s position in the marketplace. Michael is; “…elated to be a part of such a forward-thinking and technically advanced organization as GreenSource Fabrication. As a former client, I had the opportunity to experience GreenSource Fabrication from a customer’s perspective. I am excited to join GreenSource Fabrication and have the opportunity to contribute to advancing PCB technology in North America.”
GreenSource Fabrication President George W. Whelen V said, “We are ecstatic to have someone of Michael’s caliber join GreenSource Fabrication. Michael shares our vision of helping to re-establish North America as a center of excellence and technology for the PCB industry.”

Global PCB Connections: Understanding the General Fabrication Process—A Designer’s Hidden Advantage
08/14/2025 | Markus Voeltz -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsDesigners don’t need to become fabricators, but understanding the basics of PCB fabrication can save you time, money, and frustration. The more you understand what’s happening on the shop floor, the better you’ll be able to prevent downstream issues. As you move into more advanced designs like HDI, flex circuits, stacked vias, and embedded components, this foundational knowledge becomes even more critical. Remember: the fabricator is your partner.

Direct Metallization: A Sustainable Shift in PCB Fabrication
07/31/2025 | Jim Watkowski, Harry Yang, and Mark Edwards, MacDermid Alpha Electronics SolutionsThe global electronics industry is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by the need for more resilient supply chains and environmentally sustainable manufacturing practices. Printed circuit boards (PCBs), the backbone of interconnection for electronic devices, are at the center of this shift. Traditionally, PCB fabrication has relied heavily on electroless copper, a process that, while effective, is resource-intensive and environmentally hazardous. In response, many manufacturers are turning to direct metallization technologies as a cleaner, more efficient alternative.
