This enables our customers to work with us on a local level while taking advantage of the global network and expertise of Plexus as a whole. My focus will be on increasing brand awareness, especially in the DACH region as Plexus continues our momentum gaining recognition in the marketplace.”
Todd Kelsey, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, commented, “EMEA and specifically Germany, remains a significant growth opportunity for Plexus necessitating strong leadership. Throughout his 15-year tenure with Plexus, Oliver has established a solid record of success. His experience and proactive leadership style will provide immense benefit to the EMEA team as they further develop strategies to expand Plexus’ market share in this important region.”

A Less Expensive Defense and Aerospace PCB Fab Startup
08/20/2024 | Alex Stepinski, Stepinski GroupEditor’s note: Investing in a new printed circuit board fabrication startup is not for the faint of heart or the light of wallet. Standing up a new “high-tech” PCB fab facility capable of becoming qualified for aerospace and defense work typically takes a minimum investment of $50 million. However, Alex Stepinski says entering the defense and aerospace markets with a new PCB fabrication start-up facility far under this prohibitive cost benchmark is possible when good partnerships, innovation, and sound engineering design enter from the beginning. In this article, Alex Stepinski outlines just how this can be achieved.
