August 2025 PCB Magazine: Inventing the Future With SEL
August 18, 2025 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Two years after our initial visit to Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories in Moscow, Idaho, the PCB007 Editorial Team returns to see how operations have evolved since the greenfield facility first opened. What does SEL look like today? Have they smoothed out the kinks and increased capability and capacity? How do they continue to plan for the future? In our August issue, we explore these questions and more, offering insights you can use to refine your business strategy.
We kick off the August 2025 issue of PCB007 Magazine with an exclusive interview with SEL’s founder, Dr. Ed Schweitzer. His vision and energy keep the company looking ahead, and he offers insights into what makes a strong and successful business. He’s passionate about staying aligned with your values—a comfort during these uncertain times.
We continue with a conversation with data center pioneer Mike Mosman, whose decades of experience offer candid insights into the evolving power and infrastructure challenges shaping the industry. We also speak with John Hendrickson and Jessi Hall of SEL, whose innovative manufacturing strategies and a strong supplier partnership highlight where advanced production is headed. Together, these interviews paint a clear picture of the lessons learned so far, and the emerging opportunities that will define the road ahead.
Also hear from supplier partners: GreenSource Engineering, Sigma Mecer, IPS, MKS’ Atotech, and Machvision. When it comes to designing and building a new greenfield facility, these are some of the industry’s heaviest hitters, and stellar examples of what a true customer/supplier partnership can look like.
