Trackwise Announces Stevenage Circuits' Sale Process
May 17, 2023 | Trackwise Designs PLCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Trackwise Designs plc, a leading manufacturer of specialist products using printed circuit technology, announces the launch of a sale process for the Stevenage Circuits business, in order to allow the Company to focus its financial and management resources more fully on its core IHT business.
On 30 March 2023 the Company announced that, following an impairment review of Stevenage Circuits Limited ("SCL"), there would be an impairment charge related to SCL as laid out in that announcement.
Following a further internal review, the Board has resolved to commence a sale process for SCL (the "SCL Sale Process"). The SCL Sale Process may be by way of the sale of SCL (a 100% owned Group subsidiary), or by way of a business and assets sale or similar. The Board will assess the merits of expressions of interest received pursuant to the SCL Sale Process but wishes to be clear that there can be no certainty that a sale will go ahead, nor as to the terms of any such sale. Should a sale go ahead, the timing of the sale and receipt of any proceeds remains uncertain. Further details are provided below.
SCL operates from the Group's Stevenage site and forms the majority of the Group's Advanced PCB (APCB) business. Disposal of SCL would not impact the IHT business and would remove the risk of SCL diverting resources away from the IHT business.

Beyond Design: Refining Design Constraints
07/17/2025 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignBefore starting any project, it is crucial to develop a thorough plan that encompasses all essential requirements. This ensures that the final product not only aligns with the design concept but is also manufacturable, reliable, and meets performance expectations. High-speed PCB design requires us to not only push technological boundaries but also consider various factors related to higher frequencies, faster transition times, and increased bandwidths during the design process.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Addressing End-of-life Component Solderability Issues, Part 4
07/16/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileIn 1983, the Department of Defense identified that over 40% of military electronic system failures in the field were electrical, with approximately 50% attributed to poor solder connections. Investigations revealed that plated finishes, typically nickel or tin, were porous and non-intermetallic.
Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
