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.

ICAPE Utilizes Worldwide Partner Network to Reduce Supply Chain Disruption
March 15, 2022 | ICAPE GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The Covid-19 situation is getting better all around the world, but the city of Shenzhen in the south of China has been placed under new restrictions because of a jump of new cases for at least one week. As some of ICAPE’s partner factories are located in Shenzhen, the PCB and technical parts production could be delayed for one week or more, depending on the evolution of the situation.
China has placed 17.5 million residents of the city of Shenzhen into lockdown, for at least one week, to prevent the growth of positive cases of Covid-19 over the last few weeks. All public transportation and businesses have been closed, including our production plants, located in the city.
Due to this lockdown, some customers’ supply chain will be affected. ICAPE Group is coordinating with their strategic network of partner factories, in Asia, in the Americas, and in South Africa to help prevent additional disruption.
Of the 80 factories in the company’s network, 11 factories are impacted. Their sourcing, purchasing and logistics departments are constantly monitoring the situation from their headquarters in China, to anticipate and offer the best solutions for customers.
ICAPE teams remain available at any time to inform customers and provide them with strategic solutions, according to the situation.
