Atotech and AT&S have announced a joint collaboration project with the goal of reducing energy consumption and optimizing energy efficiency of the AT&S production processes in the plating lines manufactured by Atotech.
AT&S and Atotech are leaders in their respective fields from a sustainability perspective. AT&S is committed to active change leadership with ambitious climate targets, specifically regarding annual reductions of their carbon footprint and use of freshwater, by 5% and 3%, respectively. Atotech has been at the forefront of delivering sustainable products for decades, with systems designed to reduce the use of raw materials, energy, and water for our customers.
Building on Atotech’s long-standing commitment to innovation and sustainability, the company recently expanded its internal competency to the development of industrial software solutions, including Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) applications. As part of the collaboration with AT&S, Atotech will provide an innovative combination of IIOT software solutions and hardware optimization which will enable AT&S to reduce overall energy consumption and help them to meet their climate goals.
“This collaboration is a natural product of our companies’ common strengths and objectives. It is an excellent example of our commitment to making a positive difference for our communities and the environment at large,” said Geoff Wild, CEO of Atotech. “Atotech is the only major surface-finishing solutions company to provide chemistry, equipment, software and service in a comprehensive solutions-based package,” Mr. Wild continued, “We are delighted to be able to provide that full spectrum of solutions to AT&S.”

Setting Design Constraints Effectively
07/31/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAPCB design requires controlling energy within the medium of a PCB. The manner in which we control the chaos of energy is by implementing and utilizing physical and electrical rules, known as constraints, along with a specific structure and material(s) that make up what is known as the foundation of the design. These rules govern everything within the PCB structure and generally fall into two camps: performance and manufacturability. Setting this foundation correctly is extremely important and the key to success.
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.
