Mike Soble, who works in technical sales for Chemcut, explains that despite the long distance between Idaho and Pennsylvania, working with Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories on its new facilities was truly a perfect match.
Nolan Johnson: Chemcut was selected by Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) for its new facility in Moscow, Idaho. What equipment did you put into their facility?
Mike Soble: We installed a DES (develop/etch/strips), a DES Pre-Clean, an oxide system, a HASL-Pre-clean, and a solder mask developer. Two of those systems were duplicates.
Johnson: What are the advantages of Chemcut equipment for this project?
Soble: Philosophically, this was a good match between Chemcut and SEL. They want to partner with vendors that are geographically close. Certainly, we had an advantage over other competitors because we’re based in the U.S.
We've been around for 65 years, so we have a great degree of stability. Even though central Pennsylvania is a bit far from Idaho, we can get there. SEL has a very large cross-functional team, and once they visited Chemcut and met our team, they decided very quickly on buying our equipment.
