September 19, 2018 | Ventec International GroupEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. announced that Alun Morgan, chairman of the EIPC, has been named technology ambassador for Ventec International Group. In support of a common mission to promote the next generation’s progress in PCB material design, Alun will apply his extensive background and expertise in advocating for the Taiwan stock exchange listed company as an advisor and ambassador.
One of Alun's first public appearances in his new role as Technology Ambassador for Ventec will be at the 11th CTI Symposium in Munich (November 22-23, 2018) with a presentation titled 'Hot Cars, cool electronics… Thermal Management Materials for Automotive Electronics'.
Alun continues to serve as the chairman of The European Institute for the PCB Community (EIPC) and holds the posts of director and trustee of the charity Scottish Autism.
He began his career as a research investigator at the Institute of Physics' Fulmer Research Institute in the UK and after serving as technical manager of a PCB manufacturer, he joined PCB materials supplier MAS Electronics going on to become UK general manager. Following the acquisition of MAS by Isola, he joined the Isola management team serving as a director and corporate vice-president of Operations and Engineering of the Isola Group worldwide.
Alun holds a B.Sc. Honors degree in Metallurgy from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Surrey, is an associate of the University of Surrey and a Fellow of the Institute of Circuit Technology.
"I am excited to work with an organization whose strong reputation and global recognition as a leading materials supplier is built upon its innovative culture and unique & proven product development capabilities," said Alun of his new role.
"I can't think of a more perfect ambassador for Ventec than Alun. He is highly networked & respected in the industry and widely acknowledged as a PCB expert. His experience and entrepreneurial flair will be of great benefit to Ventec as we journey through our most exciting period of development for the Group," Mark Goodwin, Ventec's COO Europe and Americas, added.

Flexible Thinking: Designing Flex Circuits for Dynamic Reliability
04/09/2026 | Joe Fjelstad -- Column: Flexible ThinkingFlex circuits flex. No surprises there. However, they are also very commonly designed into products because they are thin and offer consistent thickness and dielectric properties, attributes highly prized by present-day product designers of personal electronics. This would include smartphones and, increasingly, wearable electronics for medical monitoring and even fashion.
Understanding Tolerances in Flexible Circuit Design
04/01/2026 | Chris Clark, Flexible Circuit TechnologiesThe challenge with cumulative tolerances is meeting the dimensional requirements for items dimensioned on a drawing or specification for a flexible or rigid-flex circuit. It is critical to understand the fabrication processes and how features are defined when creating your tolerance requirements.
Target Condition: An Exploration of Flooding PCB Layers
04/02/2026 | Kelly Dack -- Column: Target ConditionThe concept of flooding PCB layers with copper has been around for so long, you’d think we’d have it mastered. We haven’t. (Oh, and by “we,” I mean design engineers and the software tools we depend on.) Years ago, PCB artwork was created by hand using light tables, with tape applied to Mylar. Signals were slow, traces were relatively wide, and high-current paths were simply “beefed up” with wider copper. Signal integrity wasn’t yet a driving concern. Today, solid return paths are fundamental to robust design. We understand the importance of continuous reference planes for signal integrity and EMI control.
New, Greener Solutions for Etch: Novel Copper Extraction
03/30/2026 | Richard Nichols, GreenSource Engineering“Novel” is a typical marketing phrase that implies new and unique, but often “novel” actually means an established technology being applied to a new field or application. This, in turn, is often driven by newly relevant external motivation. GreenSource has been working on just such a solution: novel copper extraction, offering a better and greener alternative to traditional LLE control systems for cupric chloride etch.
