Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. will be launching a range of new PCB laminate and prepregs at the IPC APEX EXPO in San Diego, CA. Between January 24th and 26th, visitors to booth 419 will be invited to discover Ventec’s latest tec-speed materials and a next-generation metal base laminate with exceptional thermal conductivity at their North American debut. Ventec’s comprehensive range of high-reliability PCB laminate and prepreg solutions will also be highlighted to the US manufacturing industry at the annual expo.
Ventec’s expanding range of PCB materials is designed to meet the technology needs of the PCB manufacturing industry. With laminates specifically developed for use in demanding conditions, Ventec’s products provide reliability and high-performance, supported by Ventec’s fully controlled and managed global supply chain to ensure dependable delivery even in an unpredictable worldwide landscape.
US-Launch of new laminates and prepregs
With its US debut at APEX, Ventec will be showcasing new additions to its tec-speed and tec-thermal ranges.
tec-speed 30.0 - VT-6735 - With a thermal conductivity of 1.15 W/mK, this laminate provides excellent thermal performance in applications operating at elevated temperatures. It also features a low dielectric constant (Dk) of 3.5, good insulation resistance and high dimensional stability for reliable operation over time.
tec-speed 20.0 - VTM-1000i - a new hydrocarbon laminate with excellent thermal reliability and incredibly high Dk (9.8) and low Df (0.0023). The material can be supplied bonded with or without a metal (aluminium or copper) base plate heat sink. tec-speed 20.0 VTM-1000i represents the top-tier option for use with satellite communications systems, GPS antennas, and other RF and microwave circuitry.
tec-speed 6.0 H-PK - VT-770/VT-770 (LK) - a halogen free and high thermal grade laminate/prepreg material that offers excellent performance in high temperature and harsh environmental applications. It offers an extended temperature range, making it reliable and resistant to thermal cycling. VT-770 (LK) features a low dielectric constant which helps minimize crosstalk in high-speed signals and is halogen free, making it an excellent choice for lead-free and environmentally friendly products.
tec-speed 6.0 - VT-462SH NF/LF - an ultra-low loss No Flow/Low Flow material designed to meet environmentally friendly requirements. It has good bonding and thermal performance in heat sink bonding and rigid-flex board applications, and it has a small flow range with consistent lamination.
VT-4BC - a high thermal conductive metal base laminate designed for use in applications requiring excellent performance in thermal management. With excellent mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and superior dielectric properties, the material is resistant to impact, moisture, and chemicals, making it a reliable choice for the most demanding applications.
Further highlights at the show:
autolam - developed for the automotive industry
Ventec’s premier set of PCB base material solutions that are specifically curated for the diverse and unique requirements of automotive applications.
aerolam - working for aviation, aerospace, and defense applications
A dedicated portfolio developed by Ventec to cater for the complete spectrum of aviation, aerospace, and defense applications, aerolam offers high-quality solutions for these demanding industries.
Professional Development Sessions
Our Senior Director of Business Development, Paul Cooke will be presenting three Professional Development Sessions in the run up to the show on Sunday 22nd and Monday 23rd November. His subjects focus on “Process Flow and Associated Defects” and “PCB Design for High Reliability”.
With products that cater for very exacting markets, including the defense and aerospace sector, and the automotive industry, Ventec’s range includes options for multiple applications across a range of budgets.
“The US manufacturing industry is of prime importance to Ventec. We are expanding our specialist and dedicated team focused on delivering our world-class products with similarly world-class expertise and support,” said Mark Goodwin, COO EMEA & America. “Our recent growth includes two exciting appointments in recent months, with both Chad Wood and Paul Cooke having joined our team as Director OEM Sales and Business Development, and Senior Director of Business Development respectively. We look forward to welcoming visitors to our booth in San Diego to discuss all the latest developments in our laminates range.”

Trouble in Your Tank: Minimizing Small-via Defects for High-reliability PCBs
08/27/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankTo quote the comedian Stephen Wright, “If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you.” That can be the battle cry when you find that only small-diameter vias are exhibiting voids. Why are small holes more prone to voids than larger vias when processed through electroless copper? There are several reasons.
The Government Circuit: Navigating New Trade Headwinds and New Partnerships
08/25/2025 | Chris Mitchell -- Column: The Government CircuitAs global trade winds continue to howl, the electronics manufacturing industry finds itself at a critical juncture. After months of warnings, the U.S. Government has implemented a broad array of tariff increases, with fresh duties hitting copper-based products, semiconductors, and imports from many nations. On the positive side, tentative trade agreements with Europe, China, Japan, and other nations are providing at least some clarity and counterbalance.
How Good Design Enables Sustainable PCBs
08/21/2025 | Gerry Partida, Summit InterconnectSustainability has become a key focus for PCB companies seeking to reduce waste, conserve energy, and optimize resources. While many discussions on sustainability center around materials or energy-efficient processes, PCB design is an often overlooked factor that lies at the heart of manufacturing. Good design practices, especially those based on established IPC standards, play a central role in enabling sustainable PCB production. By ensuring designs are manufacturable and reliable, engineers can significantly reduce the environmental impact of their products.
50% Copper Tariffs, 100% Chip Uncertainty, and a Truce
08/19/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007If you’re like me, tariffs were not on your radar screen until a few months ago, but now political rhetoric has turned to presidential action. Tariffs are front-page news with major developments coming directly from the Oval Office. These are not typical times. President Donald Trump campaigned on tariff reform, and he’s now busy revamping America’s tariff policy.
Global PCB Connections: Understanding the General Fabrication Process—A Designer’s Hidden Advantage
08/14/2025 | Markus Voeltz -- Column: Global PCB ConnectionsDesigners don’t need to become fabricators, but understanding the basics of PCB fabrication can save you time, money, and frustration. The more you understand what’s happening on the shop floor, the better you’ll be able to prevent downstream issues. As you move into more advanced designs like HDI, flex circuits, stacked vias, and embedded components, this foundational knowledge becomes even more critical. Remember: the fabricator is your partner.
