Current IssueVoices 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.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

Ventec International Group, a world leader in the production of polyimide & high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs, is proud to announce that its Central European facility located in Kirchheimbolanden, Germany has received certification under the ISO 9001:2015 quality management standard.
The nearly 3000sqm manufacturing, distribution and sales facility in Germany is the company's latest location within its global network of manufacturing and service centers in Asia, Europe and the USA to receive the ISO 9001:2015 quality standard. ISO 9001:2015 is an internationally recognized standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). The standard helps organizations consistently meet the needs of customers and other key stakeholders in both the delivery and continuous improvement of products and services.
PCB fabrication customers can continue to rely on Ventec's fully accredited supply chain for high reliability laminates and pre-pregs. From manufacture through fabrication and delivery, Ventec's high quality product portfolio of polyimides, high reliability FR4 and its latest 'tec-speed' range of high speed/low loss materials are all covered by the accreditation.
"Receiving the ISO 9001:2015 certification at our German facility is another key milestone in our roadmap to offer a full complement of PCB base-products and service options for our customers," said Thomas Michels, Managing Director Europe. "In addition to providing products and solutions that adhere to the stringent quality requirements expected from our customers, Ventec takes great pride in helping our customers around the world to optimize their operational efficiency to better serve their customers."
"Today, our customers are faced with a significantly more competitive environment with tighter regulatory demands across industries," said Mark Goodwin, COO Ventec International Group. "They are looking to strategically partner with companies like Ventec for the supply of reliable materials and services to increase quality and lower their operating costs as a differentiated business model to maximize their own resources. By earning ISO 9001:2015 and other certifications such as AS9100 Rev C for aerospace and ISO/TS16949 for automotive, Ventec can offer our customers the highest possible quality standards and cost structure transformation through an improved and fully controlled supply chain, innovation and long term strategic partnerships."

Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
