LSI ADL Technology Leverages IPC Membership for Growth, Training, and Industry Leadership
May 28, 2025 | Michelle Te, IPC CommunityEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Whether attending the EMS Leadership Summit at IPC APEX EXPO, or subscribing to workforce training, LSI ADL Technology has noted several positive changes directly related to its IPC membership.
“Collaboration, brainstorming, and sharing best practices have been the most important aspects of our partnership with IPC,” says Jonathan Verity, assistant general manager at LSI ADL Technology. “IPC provides the knowledge, training, and tools that allow our business, operators, and staff to be the most successful they can be in managing our business and customer relationships.”
ADL Technology was established in 1993 in Columbus, Ohio, as an engineering design company. Four years later, it entered the contract manufacturing business, starting with PCB assemblies and expanding into box-build assembly in 2004.
ADL formed a key partnership with LSI Industries, producing all the LED assemblies for its lighting projects. As a result, LSI acquired ADL in 2009, adding more surface mount technology, expanding the capabilities of its production operations, and growing its business by investing in integrated manufacturing and design services.
“Our fantastic team has done exceptional work over the years to shape this business for growth,” Jonathan says. “Our current challenge is how we successfully gear this business for continued growth by making it highly efficient and scalable to meet our customers’ current and future needs.”

IPC-CFX, 2.0: How to Use the QPL Effectively
07/02/2025 | Chris Jorgensen, Global Electronics AssociationIn part one of this series, we discussed the new features in CFX Version 2.0 and their implications for improved inter-machine communication. But what about bringing this new functionality to the shop floor? The IPC-CFX-2591 QPL is a powerful technical resource for manufacturers seeking CFX-enabled equipment. The Qualified Product List (QPL) helps streamline equipment selection by listing models verified for CFX compliance through a robust third-party virtual qualification process.
The Knowledge Base: A Conference for Cleaning and Coating of Mission-critical Electronics
07/08/2025 | Mike Konrad -- Column: The Knowledge BaseIn electronics manufacturing, there’s a dangerous misconception that cleaning and coating are standalone options, that they operate in different lanes, and that one can compensate for the other. Let’s clear that up now. Cleaning and conformal coating are not separate decisions. They are two chapters in the same story—the story of reliability.
