Many companies—par-
ticularly those that build
critical equipment like
medical, military, indus-
trial controls, and automo-
tive—are now consider-
ing how they can protect
themselves from future vulnerability. They experi-
enced serious chip shortages and want to ensure
a reliable, ready supply at a reasonable price
without tying up capital.
Having expanded
into Brazil earlier
this year with a loca-
tion in São Paulo,
ROCKA is pleased
to announce an
upcoming second
location in Manaus,
key to the global growth strategy.
The expansion of consumer electronics, auto-
motive electronics, and industrial automation is
driving the steady growth of the Electronics
Manufacturing Services (EMS) market. The
Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS)
Market was estimated to be worth $509100
million in 2023 and is forecast to a readjusted
size of $735390 million by 2030 with a CAGR
of 4.8% during the forecast period 2024-2030.
Alltemated's PLACE-N-BOND™ underfilm
passed testing and was implemented
in volume production to aid in compo-
nent retention during the second pass
reflow of printed circuit assemblies. This
successful testing and implementation
occurred in various applications with
components such as capacitors, induc-
tors, transformers, connectors, and
larger ICs.
E-Tronix will be responsible for promot-
ing and selling BTU International's ther-
mal processing equipment. Their team of
experts will also provide localized tech-
nical support and service, ensuring that
BTU's customers receive the highest level
of support and expertise in North Dakota,
South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Wiscon-
sin, and Illinois.
