IPC’s Validation Services program has awarded an IPC-1791, Trusted Electronics Designer Requirements Qualified Manufacturer Listing (QML) to Fralock, located in Valencia, California.
Following the initial IPC audit, Fralock passed stringent design requirements to optimize product quality, reliability, and consistency across the entire manufacturing operation, earning a place on IPC’s global network of rigorously vetted and trusted sources.
“Fralock provides product design, development, engineering, prototyping, and manufacturing services to customers that require a high level of quality and precision,” said Shibu Gangadharan, vice president of specialty engineered materials at Fralock. “This validation assures our customers that processes pertaining to IPC-1791 are adhered to throughout the manufacturing cycle.”
IPC's Validation Services QML program was developed to promote supply chain verification. It also provides auditing and qualification of electronics companies' products and identifies processes which conform to IPC standards.
"Different from other audit programs, IPC's Validation Services programs uniquely provide technical and in-depth assessments of products and processes in accordance with IPC standards," said Randy Cherry, IPC director of Validation Services. "We are pleased to recognize Fralock on becoming members of IPC's network of trusted QML suppliers.”

Global Citizenship: Comparing and Contrasting the U.S. and China PCB Industries
10/23/2024 | Tom Yang -- Column: Global CitizenshipI have spent a lot of time in the U.S., and one question I am frequently asked is about the differences between the Chinese and U.S. PCB industries. It’s always an interesting question, and I will try to answer it in this month’s column. Certainly, the U.S. was the leader in PCB manufacturing, including developing the processes and technology, which it taught to the Chinese in the late 1980s and ’90s. As a result, China has become a force to be reckoned with in the global PCB market. Having been educated in America and now leading a major PCB manufacturing company in China, I have a unique vantage point when it comes to comparing the two nations’ approaches to PCB production.
