Voices of the Industry Podcast Examines Ceramic Substrates and Collaborative Manufacturing With Remtec
January 8, 2026 | I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Ceramic substrates continue to gain attention as electronics designers seek performance, reliability, and thermal advantages beyond traditional PCB materials. In the latest episode of Voices of the Industry, host Nolan Johnson welcomes Brian Buyea, president of Remtec, for an in-depth discussion on why ceramic substrates are an increasingly compelling option.
During the conversation, Buyea walks listeners through ceramic as a board substrate, outlining the ideal applications and technical advantages that make it well-suited for demanding environments. From thermal management and electrical performance to long-term reliability, he explains where ceramic excels—and how to determine when it is the right choice for a given design.
Buyea also shares customer stories that illustrate how Remtec’s manufacturing capabilities and engineering expertise translate into real-world success. With 35 years of experience in ceramic manufacturing and a staff of highly qualified engineers, Remtec emphasizes a deeply collaborative approach, working closely with customers to solve complex design and production challenges.
“This episode really highlights how material choice and collaboration go hand in hand,” said host Nolan Johnson. “Brian provides clear insight into where ceramic substrates shine and how Remtec partners with customers to make those solutions work.”
The episode is now available as part of the Voices of the Industry podcast series, featuring conversations with leaders across the electronics manufacturing ecosystem.

The Next Five Years of Thermal Substrates, Ceramics, and Thick-film PCBs
12/11/2025 | Brian Buyea, RemtecIf you want a clean view of where thermal substrates and ceramic/thick-film electronics are headed, follow the heat. Power density is moving up and to the right across industries: EV traction inverters, fast chargers, AI data centers, radar, satellite payloads, medical imaging, and high-brightness LEDs. The next five years will be defined by designs that treat thermal performance as a first-order constraint, not an afterthought. Here’s what that means in practice.
