Ventec International Group, a world leader in the production of polyimide & high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs, is proud to announce that its Central European facility located in Kirchheimbolanden, Germany has received certification under the ISO 9001:2015 quality management standard.
The nearly 3000sqm manufacturing, distribution and sales facility in Germany is the company's latest location within its global network of manufacturing and service centers in Asia, Europe and the USA to receive the ISO 9001:2015 quality standard. ISO 9001:2015 is an internationally recognized standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). The standard helps organizations consistently meet the needs of customers and other key stakeholders in both the delivery and continuous improvement of products and services.
PCB fabrication customers can continue to rely on Ventec's fully accredited supply chain for high reliability laminates and pre-pregs. From manufacture through fabrication and delivery, Ventec's high quality product portfolio of polyimides, high reliability FR4 and its latest 'tec-speed' range of high speed/low loss materials are all covered by the accreditation.
"Receiving the ISO 9001:2015 certification at our German facility is another key milestone in our roadmap to offer a full complement of PCB base-products and service options for our customers," said Thomas Michels, Managing Director Europe. "In addition to providing products and solutions that adhere to the stringent quality requirements expected from our customers, Ventec takes great pride in helping our customers around the world to optimize their operational efficiency to better serve their customers."
"Today, our customers are faced with a significantly more competitive environment with tighter regulatory demands across industries," said Mark Goodwin, COO Ventec International Group. "They are looking to strategically partner with companies like Ventec for the supply of reliable materials and services to increase quality and lower their operating costs as a differentiated business model to maximize their own resources. By earning ISO 9001:2015 and other certifications such as AS9100 Rev C for aerospace and ISO/TS16949 for automotive, Ventec can offer our customers the highest possible quality standards and cost structure transformation through an improved and fully controlled supply chain, innovation and long term strategic partnerships."

Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Design Essentials for Electric Vehicle Charging
11/27/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsElectric vehicles (EVs), powered by electricity rather than fossil fuels, are transforming transportation and reducing environmental impacts. But what good is an EV if it can't be easily charged? In this month's column, Ramon Roche dives into the role of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electric vehicle charging (EVC)—and the design considerations.
Unlocking Advanced Circuitry Through Liquid Metal Ink
10/31/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamPCB UHDI technologist John Johnson of American Standard Circuits discusses the evolving landscape of electronics manufacturing and the critical role of innovation, specifically liquid metal ink technology, as an alternate process to traditional metallization in PCB fabrication to achieve ever finer features and tighter tolerances. The discussion highlights the benefits of reliability, efficiency, and yields as a tradeoff to any increased cost to run the process. As this technology becomes better understood and accepted, even sought out by customers and designers, John says there is a move toward mainstream incorporation.
Fresh PCB Concepts: The Critical Nature of Copper Thickness on PCBs
10/31/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsPCBs are the backbone of modern electronics and the copper layers within these boards serve as the primary pathways for electrical signals. When designing and manufacturing PCBs, copper thickness is one of the most critical factors and significantly affects the board’s performance and durability. The IPC-6012F specification, the industry standard for the performance and qualification of rigid PCBs, sets clear guidelines on copper thickness to ensure reliability in different environments and applications.
