Current IssueAdvanced Packaging and Stackup Design
This month, our expert contributors discuss the impact of advanced packaging on stackup design—from SI and DFM challenges through the variety of material tradeoffs that designers must contend with in HDI and UHDI.
Rules of Thumb
This month, we delve into rules of thumb—which ones work, which ones should be avoided. Rules of thumb are everywhere, but there may be hundreds of rules of thumb for PCB design. How do we separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak?
Partial HDI
Our expert contributors provide a complete, detailed view of partial HDI this month. Most experienced PCB designers can start using this approach right away, but you need to know these tips, tricks and techniques first.

StenTech Opens New Facility in Clearwater to Service the Expansive Florida SMT Market
January 17, 2024 | StenTechEstimated reading time: 1 minute
StenTech® Inc., a leading global company specializing in SMT Printing Solutions, is delighted to announce the official launch of its new establishment in Clearwater, Florida. The facility will continue to produce SMT stencils and, starting from February, will also offer customers StenTech's Advanced Nano coating. This revolutionary coating, known for its exceptional quality, transforms SMT stencil technology. Unlike traditional stencils, the Advanced Nano coating is exclusively applied to the underside and inside of the stencil apertures, leaving the squeegee side uncoated, and provides same day turnaround, which means rapid delivery that is unmatched in the industry.

Heading the operation is Todd Marshall, facility Manager, an industry veteran with over 30 years of experience in SMT stencil and parts production, who also has an extensive background in electrical engineering. Marshall's journey began in 1992 as a sales manager for PET (Photo Etch Technology), where over the years he was instrumental in opening and managing various facilities throughout the Eastern US region. The acquisition of PET by StenTech in 2023 was a part of the company's commitment to expansion and localization.
Over the years, StenTech has grown to become the largest multi-national SMT printing solutions provider, with a presence in 20 facilities across the United States, Mexico and Canada. These strategically located facilities are interlinked, and ensure regional expertise and localized customer service. The establishment of this new facility aims to specifically serve the Florida market, providing precision laser cut SMT stencils with unparalleled same day turnaround in most cases.
"We take pride in our rapid turnaround time,” said Marshall. “ I first always inquire about the customer's desired timeframe and make it our priority to adhere to that schedule. Ensuring customer satisfaction and a seamless experience have always been my top priorities. We are excited to be able to now bring our top technologies, coatings and stencil solutions to the Florida market all within earshot.”
An open invitation is offered to all interested parties to visit the new facility, meet the team, and see the high-end equipment in production. An open house event will also be staged in February 2024. Now in its 25th year of operations, as StenTech embarks on the next chapter of its journey, the company remains committed to growth and innovation.
