Breaking Down the Barriers Between Design and Manufacturing in France

October 15, 2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007 Magazine

The IPC Designers Council France has nearly doubled since I-Connect007 last reached out to Thomas Romont, a manager at WWEC who leads the council. But growth is only part of the story. Through working groups, practical design tools, and an annual conference, the council is creating opportunities for designers, engineers, fabricators, EMS providers, and other stakeholders to solve problems together. Thomas explains how the group is addressing gaps in design guidance, improving communication between design and manufacturing, and encouraging the kind of collaboration increasingly required across the electronics industry.

I-Connect007 welcomes Michael Gleason, director of product development and strategic growth at GreenSource Fabrication, as its newest columnist. His monthly column, Built for What’s Next, will appear in I-Connect007 Magazine, offering a forward-looking perspective on PCB design, advanced manufacturing, and the technologies shaping the next generation of electronics. With more than 20 years of experience in PCB manufacturing, Gleason brings a combination of engineering expertise, operational leadership, and practical knowledge of advanced fabrication.
