Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

Plasmatreat Names Nico Coenen Business Development Manager of Electronics
February 12, 2018 | PlasmatreatEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Nico Coenen was appointed global business development manager of electronics at Plasmatreat at the start of the year. “With his profound market knowledge and extensive network, Nico Coenen will play a leading role in expanding our businesses in the international electronics markets," said Christian Buske, CEO of Plasmatreat GmbH and president/CEO of the Plasmatreat Group.
The use of atmospheric pressure plasma for the pretreatment of material surfaces is becoming increasingly important in the electronics industry. Plasmatreat systems are already used today for pretreating PCBs and SMD assemblies before conformal coating, for manufacturing LEDs or in the production of media-tight electronic hybrid components in the injection molding process, to give just a few examples. But countless applications worldwide have yet to discover this sophisticated pretreatment technology.
In his new role, Coenen will work with Plasmatreat subsidiaries, technology centers and representatives in 35 countries. "As I see it, my main task is to make the electronics world far more aware of the special capabilities of Openair-Plasma and the amazing results”, he stated. Coenen can look back on a successful 20-year career in sales and project management. As Global Sales Director for jet printing technology at Mycronic and sales and global account manager at Asymtek Nordson, Buske believes he is ideally equipped for the task.
