Thinking Out of the Box: Pacific Northwest EMS Manufacturer Employs Successful Strategies With IPC

10/15/2024 | Michelle Te, IPC Community
Allison and Chad Budvarson started Out of the Box Manufacturing, an EMS company in Renton, Washington, just one month after they were married in 2008. To stay competitive, they’ve utilized IPC’s workforce subscription and apprenticeship programs to train and maintain their staff. "Our relationship with IPC has evolved over the past several years," Allison says. "Initially, we saw IPC for its standards. But when I started attending the EMS Leadership Summit at APEX EXPO, I realized there was so much more to IPC, which opened more doors for us, creating growth and partnership opportunities I didn't realize were possible. For one, I like having frank conversations with EMS owners from other areas of the country, and I’m not worried they will steal my 'secret sauce.'"

Catching Up With SDM’s Holland Jackson

10/15/2024 | Dan Beaulieu, D.B. Management Group
A few months ago, I received a call from Holland Jackson, founder and president of Sales Driven Marketing (SDM). To say it’s a whole new kind of sales company would be an understatement. This is a complete plug-and-play sales company that handles all aspects of the sale from SEO to lead generation to sales. I think you will be intrigued by this interview.

Partial HDI: A Complete Solution

10/10/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial Team
We recently spoke with IPC instructor Kris Moyer about partial HDI, a process that’s recently been growing in popularity. Partial HDI allows designers to escape route out from tight-pitch BGAs on one layer, where a mechanically drilled plated through-hole is not an option, while avoiding the complexity and expense of sequential lamination cycles. As Kris explains, this process doesn’t add much to the cost, and it’s fairly straightforward. But there are some competing signal integrity and fabrication requirements to contend with. We asked Kris to walk us through this process.

10/08/2024 | Tom Kastner -- Column: Punching Out!
I recently looked at completed deals in the North American PCB and EMS sectors over the past few years and spoke with several buyers who are active in the M&A market. According to my records, there were 31 deals in the North American PCB sector from 2021 through August 2024 (11 in 2021, five in 2022, 13 in 2023, and two to date in 2024).

AEMS: Third Time’s the Charm

10/07/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 Magazine
You’ve probably heard of the Del Mar Electronics & Manufacturing Show (DMEMS). Since 1995, PCB design and manufacturing technologists have flocked to this seminal event at the Del Mar Fairgrounds near San Diego. Originally a regional show, Del Mar has grown yearly and attracts an outsized group of attendees and exhibitors. So, event founder Doug Bodenstab took his vision northward and launched the Anaheim Electronics & Manufacturing Show (AEMS).
