MARCH 2022 I PCB007 MAGAZINE 99
The electronics manufactur-
ing industry is welcoming
the release of the European
Commission's European
Chips Act with its strong
support for advanced pack-
aging and calling for its swift
implementation as part of
a broader and equally important strategy to rebuild
the European electronics manufacturing ecosystem.
Torsten Reckert, president of all4-PCB, discusses their product
lines with Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007 editor. In this
conversation, they look at the latest trends and requirements
from the industry.
ICAPE Group and CEBISA France,
a printed circuit board supplier
based in Lisses (91), have signed
an agreement to acquire 100% of
CEBISA's activities by the French
subsidiary of ICAPE Group. The
transaction was effective at the end
of February.
IPC announced the Decem-
ber 2021 findings from its
North American Printed Cir-
cuit Board (PCB) Statistical
Program. The book-to-bill
ratio stands at 1.17.
The semi-additive processes (SAP) are not new. I first used them with a
novel process back in 1978. MacDermid had a novel SAP process called
PLADD II (PLAted Additive). It was an anodized aluminum foil applied to
laminates that we could easily etch off after drilling and continue with a
special electroless copper for thin metallization.
Good leadership always makes a differ-
ence; unfortunately, so does bad leader-
ship. This leadership truth continues as
we will be talking about Laws 13 and 14
of the 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.
I am sure that everyone remembers the
childhood phrase "Monkey see, monkey do." When boiled
down, this is exactly what the Law of the Picture teaches.
