The following companies will be highlighted in the New Products Corridor:
- Henkel Electronics Materials LLC

“With such a large exhibition, it’s important to plan ahead, so we’re encouraging all attendees to take advantage of the interactive agenda planner,” added Balonek. “This free tool allows attendees to navigate and search all products that exhibitors will be showcasing at IPC APEX EXPO, in addition to a separate search function specifically for new products, to ensure that their experience at IPC APEX EXPO is enriching.”
Exhibits-only registration is free to those who register in advance, and provides access to the exhibition and events on the show floor, including a show floor reception on Tuesday, March 15. Other IPC APEX EXPO events that are free to exhibits-only registrants include two keynote sessions, seven BUZZ sessions, technical poster presentations and numerous networking activities.
