Current IssueSolder Printing
In this issue, we turn a discerning eye to solder paste printing. As apertures shrink, and the requirement for multiple thicknesses of paste on the same board becomes more commonplace, consistently and accurately applying paste becomes ever more challenging.
A Culture of Thriving
One cannot simply command thriving; it must be nurtured, developed, and encouraged. In this issue, we explore strategies to improve your working relationship model—both internally and externally. In this culture of thriving, your business will grow in the process.
Certifications
Certifications have historically been seen as a cost of doing business, but how do we turn them into a positive ROI and a value to both customer and vendor?

Rehm Encourages STEM Careers with Visit from Students
August 8, 2024 | Rehm Thermal SystemsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
At the end of year nine, secondary school pupils are faced with the first important decisions for their professional future. The careers guidance project at secondary schools (BORS) supports them in finding a career and in the application process. On 19 July, pupils from the Anne-Frank secondary school in Laichingen took the opportunity to find out about their training opportunities at Rehm Thermal Systems, a manufacturer of production equipment for the electronics industry, and to get a taste of an international industrial company right on their doorstep.

Among men alone – women are still underrepresented in technical professions. Even at Rehm Thermal Systems, the proportion of women in STEM professions is only slowly increasing. This must change! This is why Rehm Thermal Systems has been cooperating with schools in the region for years as part of educational partnerships and is happy to use every opportunity to support young people in their career choices according to their interests and abilities and free from stereotypes.
On the morning of 19 July 2024, some students from years eight and nine at the Anne-Frank secondary school in Laichingen visited the headquarters of Rehm Thermal Systems in Blaubeuren. They were warmly welcomed by the HR department, represented by Head of Human Resources Joachim Erhard and Natalie Werner. This was followed by a brief introduction of the company and a presentation of the various training opportunities at Rehm Thermal Systems by the training officers Fabian Neumann and Daniel Eißler.
A highlight for everyone: the handicraft project with the team led by Tobias Sauter, Trainer Mechatronics, about soldering. The pupils soldered components onto circuit boards with the aim of building a functioning water level indicator for plants – the Panda Plant Guardian. This gave them a hands-on experience of how the Rehm reflow soldering systems work, which are used to solder electrical components onto circuit boards that are later used in sensitive electronics, as well as the importance of special care when soldering.
The morning was rounded off with a company tour, during which the students were able to get a taste of the various departments at Rehm Thermal Systems and had the opportunity to see the various reflow soldering systems as well as coating and drying systems live.
We would like to thank our visitors for their keen interest and wish them all the best for the final phase of their school career – we are already looking forward to meeting the students who have registered directly for an internship at Rehm Thermal Systems and will be registering in the future!
