Technica USA to Expand Role with ASM Americas
March 1, 2016 | Technica USAEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Technica USA is pleased to announce the appointment by ASM as the exclusive U.S. Distributor for the new E by SIPLACE placement equipment. The E by SIPLACE is an exciting new product that is being introduced by Technica at this year APEX. The equipment offers customers world-class performance for mid-speed/high mix applications.
Frank Medina, President of Technica USA stated, " We have had a very successful relationship with ASM since establishing a true partnership a few years ago. Together, we established a West Coast Demo and Training Center at our facility in San Jose, CA that provides a great service for our customers."
Jeff Timms, head of the SMT Segment of ASM in the Americas added, "While aggressively expanding our SMT product portfolio on the high-end / high performance market, we needed to quickly add resources and infrastructure to enter, develop and support the mid-speed/high mix market segment. With the existing organization managing the growth of the high end portfolio, the most prudent way to launch this product family, while keeping cost in line for our customers, was to establish a separate distribution arm for E by SIPLACE. Technica has the infrastructure and personnel to provide the sales and service support necessary to meet our E by SIPLACE customer requirements."
Medina went on to say, "The E by SIPLACE sets a new standard in this class of equipment for quality and performance. We are confident that customers will quickly appreciate the advantage this equipment will offer their operation as compared to other equipment in this product segment. We invite customers to visit us at this year's APEX at Booth # 1127 to learn more about the product and see the E by SIPLACE in action."

It’s Only Common Sense: If You’re Not Differentiated, You’re Dead
10/13/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense“Good enough” is not good enough in business. Not anymore. “Good enough” is a death sentence in today’s market. Too many companies hide behind their ISO certificates, ITAR registrations, and shiny badges of compliance as if those are supposed to impress customers, but certifications are table stakes. Everyone has them. If you think that’s your differentiator, you’re already in the grave; you just don’t know it.
Catching Up With Mark Wood, Microart Services
10/08/2025 | Dan Beaulieu, D.B. Management GroupMicroart Services has been in business for over 40 years, growing from a design PCB layout company to a full-service EMS company focused on serving its customer base with standard and custom solutions. I’ve heard from my rep friends, their competitors, and even my Canadian PCB friends that Microart is “one of the best EMS companies in North America.” That’s why I decided to speak with CEO Mark Wood to discover the secret to his company's success.
Standard of Excellence: Overcoming Service Failures—The Art of the Apology
10/08/2025 | Anaya Vardya -- Column: Standard of ExcellenceNo matter how refined the processes, how seasoned the team, or how sophisticated the technology, mistakes happen in business. A shipment goes out late. A part doesn’t meet spec. A miscommunication causes frustration. It’s the part of customer service that no one likes to talk about, but every company must master how to respond when things go wrong.
It’s Only Common Sense: Stop Whining About the Market—Outwork It
10/06/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWhenever the market hiccups or the industry cycle dips, I hear the same tired chorus: “The market is down. Customers aren’t buying. What can we do? We just have to wait it out.” Nonsense. If you think that by showing up, opening your doors, and waiting for the economy to smile kindly upon you, that success will follow, you are in the wrong business. Worse yet, you’re living in the wrong mindset. Most people don’t want to hear the truth that winners find business in down cycles. Losers blame the economy.
