Arlon Takes on Role as EMC Master Distributor in North America
March 10, 2022 | Arlon EMDEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Arlon EMD, a division of Elite Materials Company (EMC), and an American manufacturer of specialty laminates is assuming the role of Master Distributor for EMC materials in N. America. Arlon has a 45-year history of manufacturing specialty materials for the Aerospace, Industrial and Military (AIM) markets.
This Master Distributor realignment will support the continued growth of EMC sales in N. America to meet customer demand of EMC products and provide shorter lead times. Arlon will assist with analytical and testing services on EMC laminates and prepregs. Arlon’s Q.A. testing capabilities, warehousing and manufacturing operation in Southern California will enable EMC to expand and centralize their logistical functions.
As the Master Distributor for EMC, Arlon will become the hub of importation for EMC laminates and prepregs. Arlon will use direct Arlon sales personnel, distributors, and agents to support fabricators’ requirements for EMC and Arlon specialty materials. As of June 1, 2022, fabrication customers may begin placing orders directly with Arlon or with one of Arlon’spartner distributors.
Elite Material Co. Ltd. (EMC) established in 1992 as a copper clad (CCL) and prepreg manufacturer, has become the global leader in the manufacture and supply of Halogen free CCL materials. Elite’s highly skilled Research & Development team has developed a family of materials from mid-loss to extreme low loss products. These materials are designed in complex PCB’s; mSAP, IC substrate, high layer count (HLC)/ high speed digital (HSD) and radio frequency (RF) products.
EMC has filed more than 250 patents globally, becoming a “technology leader” in Mobile Communications, AI, Cloud Computing Data Centers, 5G Infrastructure Network, Electric Vehicle (EV) and Autonomous Driving applications.

Trouble in Your Tank: Implementing Direct Metallization in Advanced Substrate Packaging
09/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite are gaining popularity throughout the world. The environmental and productivity gains achievable with this process are outstanding. Direct metallization reduces the costs of compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. A graphite-based direct plate system has been devised to address these needs.
Closing the Loop on PCB Etching Waste
09/09/2025 | Shawn Stone, IECAs the PCB industry continues its push toward greener, more cost-efficient operations, Sigma Engineering’s Mecer System offers a comprehensive solution to two of the industry’s most persistent pain points: etchant consumption and rinse water waste. Designed as a modular, fully automated platform, the Mecer System regenerates spent copper etchants—both alkaline and acidic—and simultaneously recycles rinse water, transforming a traditionally linear chemical process into a closed-loop system.
Driving Innovation: Depth Routing Processes—Achieving Unparalleled Precision in Complex PCBs
09/08/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, the demand for increasingly complex and miniaturized designs continually pushes the boundaries of traditional fabrication methods, including depth routing. Success in these applications demands not only on robust machinery but also sophisticated control functions. PCB manufacturers rely on advanced machine features and process methodologies to meet their precise depth routing goals. Here, I’ll explore some crucial functions that empower manufacturers to master complex depth routing challenges.
