Current IssueVoices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

HKPCA is a non-profit-making trade association, founded in 2000 by a group of Hong Kong PCB manufacturers. We are also a member of the World Electronic Circuits Council (WECC), which allows us to maintain closer connections with overseas printed circuit associations. Other WECC members include: CPCA, EIPC, ELCINA, IPC, IPCA, JPCA, KPCA, THPCA and TPCA. As the unique representative of the Hong Kong PCB industry, we aim to promote and maintain the rights and interests of the industry. The role of the association is to liaise and facilitate communication within the PCB industry locally and internationally through a diversified communication platform. HKPCA also represents the industry by providing our ideas and opinions to the government and relevant organizations. To provide better services, different sub-committees have been set up to organize activities for our members. We hope to keep members updated with current market trends and expand their knowledge in advanced technology through our annual tradeshow, quarterly publishing, frequent training and seminars. HKPCA publishes an annual market survey report after interviewing key manufacturers and equipment suppliers in the industry within Hong Kong and South China. Through the report, we hope the information can assist enterprises to develop their business and technology required in the industry. We attend relevant conferences and exhibitions around the world to collect as much as information and news for our members. As many members have set up production base in China, HKPCA have put forth efforts on collecting information from the Chinese government, such as environmental, customs policies and regulations, and sharing them with members.
