High Density Packaging (HDP) User Group is pleased to announce that Uyemura International (Uyemura) has become a member.
“As our focus expands from our traditional stronghold in PCB processes into complex assembly processes – especially the high frequency and medical device arenas - we look forward to working with HDP member companies,” said Rich DePoto, Uyemura Business Development Manager.
“I am pleased to welcome Uyemura to HDP, joining the outstanding companies working on HDP User Group projects. Their expertise in surface treatment processes for electronics will contribute significantly to several of our projects, especially those focused on high frequency applications and emerging technologies,” said Larry Marcanti, Executive Director of HDP User Group.
About Uyemura
Uyemura is a science company founded in 1848, with core competencies in the development, testing, and manufacture of process chemistries for the PCB, semiconductor, sensor, photonics and medical device industries.
Uyemura has often been characterized as a disruptor – (long before that became a popular term!) Many Uyemura products have re-invented the solutions of the past, often dramatically, rendering legacy products obsolete, and establishing new benchmarks for performance, longevity, and cost management.
Uyemura was the first company in the industry to establish a research laboratory (today, there are 5 worldwide) as an institution for interdisciplinary surface treatment research. Our global R&D activities have generously rewarded the Uyemura brand with the confidence of leading OEMs in virtually every sector.

Nolan’s Notes: Tariffs, Technologies, and Optimization
10/01/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesLast month, SMT007 Magazine spotlighted India, and boy, did we pick a good time to do so. Tariff and trade news involving India was breaking like a storm surge. The U.S. tariffs shifted India from one of the most favorable trade agreements to the least favorable. Electronics continue to be exempt for the time being, but lest you think that we’re free and clear because we manufacture electronics, steel and aluminum are specifically called out at the 50% tariff levels.

Jiva Leading the Charge Toward Sustainable Innovation
09/30/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineEnvironmental sustainability in business—product circularity—is a high priority these days. “Circularity,” the term meant to replace “recycling,” in its simplest definition, describes a full circle life for electronic products and all their elements. The result is re-use or a near-complete reintroduction of the base materials back into the supply chain, leaving very little left for waste. For what cannot be reused productively, the ultimate hope is to have better, less harmful means of disposal and/or materials that can seamlessly and harmlessly decompose and integrate back into the natural environment. That is where Jiva and Soluboard come in.
