SMTA International 2026 Review: A Seriously Productive Affair

11/04/2026 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007
The mood at SMTA International was different this year, but in a good way. The conference and expo have long been a bastion of consistency for the EMS industry, delivering a predictably solid event with a “boots on the ground” perspective and a program tailored to the professional individual as much as to the corporate participant. The attendee sentiment on the show floor felt noticeably different this year, and spoke volumes about the frame of mind in the industry. Show leaders said the conference drew approximately 1500 attendees and 114 exhibitors for a three-session expo and a weeklong slate of papers and presentations.

Elementary, Mr. Watson: The Empty Chair—The Greatest Fear in PCB Design

11/03/2026 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. Watson
I stopped in the hallway, staring into the room at the end of the hall with the lone empty chair, trying to remember how I got here. The fear from the rooms I had already passed through was still fresh in my mind. Each one had revealed another challenge that every PCB designer eventually faces.

Delton Turns Its Thailand Location Into a Rules-driven Smart Factory

11/03/2026 | Tulip Gu, ECIO and Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007
On Sept. 1, 2026, ECIO’s Edy Yu and Tulip Gu, along with I-Connect007’s Marcy LaRont, toured Delton’s Thailand facility in Prachin Buri. The factory officially began production in June 2025 and, impressively, was profitable by December. Phase I capacity utilization has already exceeded 90%, and further expansion is moving quickly—a remarkably fast ramp-up for an overseas PCB operation.

Little Streams Make Big Rivers: Creating an Industry Voice in Brussels

11/02/2026 | Alison James, Global Electronics Association, with Philip Stoten
There is a French saying I am fond of, and I used it to open my presentation in Paris: “les petits ruisseaux font les grandes rivières,” translated as “Little streams make big rivers.” It is, to my mind, the whole of European government relations in six words. No single company, however large, and no single association, however active, changes the direction of European policy on its own. But enough voices, aligned and patient, moving in the same direction, become a current that is very hard to ignore.
