Marcy’s Musings: A World of Difference
MKS Inc., a global provider of enabling technologies that transform our world, announced that its strategic brands Atotech (process chemicals, equipment, software, and services) and ESI (laser systems) will present their latest innovations in advanced packaging, package substrate, and printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing at the JPCA Show in Tokyo, Japan, from June 10-12. Visitors can meet MKS’ representatives at booth C2-32 and learn more about the company’s latest solutions for advanced electronics manufacturing.
As one of Asia’s leading exhibitions for PCB and electronic packaging technologies, the JPCA Show brings together key domestic and international industry players at a time when the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure, high-performance computing (HPC), and next-generation interconnect architectures is driving demand for increasingly precise manufacturing solutions.
At its booth, MKS will present a comprehensive portfolio spanning precision chemistry, advanced plating systems, laser drilling platforms, optics, motion control, IIoT software, and training services. This integrated offering reflects the company’s proprietary Optimize the InterconnectSM approach and is designed to help customers improve efficiency and process performance across their manufacturing operations.
This approach brings together expertise in lasers, optics, motion, chemistry, and plating systems to help address the evolving challenges of modern electronics production. MKS supports higher precision, improved interconnect performance, and continued miniaturization for next-generation devices by integrating ESI’s laser drilling platforms with Atotech’s chemistry and plating technologies.
Supported by strong local technical expertise, MKS’ Atotech helps its customers improve process yields, streamline manufacturing, and optimize total cost of ownership.
