Koh Young Technology, the industry leader in True 3D measurement-based inspection solutions, announced a new partnership with SMarTsol to support Koh Young America customers in Mexico, effective February 1, 2026. The partnership reinforces Koh Young’s long-term commitment to manufacturers in Mexico, with a continued focus on responsive local engagement and application-driven support.
Koh Young’s True 3D measurement-based inspection and metrology solutions help manufacturers prevent defects, optimize processes, and increase throughput by converting inspection data into faster, more confident decisions across the SMT line. Through this partnership, customers in Mexico will have a direct local point of contact for day-to-day coordination, application discussions, and execution support.
SMarTsol brings an established team and a strong reputation for customer responsiveness in the region. Together, Koh Young America and SMarTsol will focus on long-term customer success by aligning on account priorities, maintaining consistent engagement, and supporting manufacturers as their product mixes, quality targets, and throughput demands evolve. The companies will coordinate jointly on demonstrations, evaluations, and ongoing engagement to help customers connect inspection performance to process improvement.
“Mexico continues to play an important role in electronics manufacturing, and customers expect practical support close to the factory,” said Heriberto Cuevas, Sales Manager and Team Leader of Mexico and South America for Koh Young America. “We value the strong relationships built in the market, and we are focused on maintaining continuity while raising the level of responsiveness and follow-through. SMarTsol aligns well with that expectation.”
“This partnership supports our long-term focus on customer success in Mexico,” said Joel Scutchfield, General Manager of Koh Young America. “SMarTsol will help us stay close to production realities, from early application alignment through sustained results, with a shared commitment to helping manufacturers optimize processes with trusted measurement and actionable insights. Their team knows the region well, and we are confident this collaboration will help us serve customers with continuity, speed, and disciplined follow-through.”
“With teams across Mexico, we are focused on practical execution close to the factory,” said Ivan Romo, Director of SMarTsol Technology. “Working with Koh Young America, our team will support manufacturers in Mexico with application alignment, responsive coordination, and disciplined follow-through to help optimize processes and achieve measurable outcomes.”
Under the partnership, SMarTsol will support Koh Young America customers across Mexico with local engagement, application discussions, and coordinated execution aligned to measurable outcomes. Customers will continue to receive service, training, and technical support through Koh Young’s regional teams and established support channels.
To see the partnership in action, visit SMarTsol at IPC APEX EXPO 2026 to see several Koh Young systems on display and discuss inspection applications and process optimization opportunities with the team.

From Panels to Post-its
04/07/2026 | Lorena Villanueva, Global Electronics Association MexicoLast January, I attended the Global Leadership Summit of the Wire Harness Manufacturer’s Association (WHMA) in Las Vegas, and there was a subtle shift in one of the events that everyone could feel. We still had the traditional conference rhythm: strong keynote, well-prepared panels, and smart people in the room. There were also, sometimes, some careful answers—useful, but not always candid. So, I was curious when WHMA introduced a new peer-to-peer format for one session.
