38 SMT007 MAGAZINE I NOVEMBER 2025 structura, fortaleciendo alianzas público-privadas y fomentando la innovación. "En Guanajuato no solo tenemos mano de obra calificada, tenemos mente de obra calificada", remarca Hernández . "Eso hace la diferencia". ¿Y el Futuro? Ya Está en Marcha Guanajuato trabaja ya en el diseño de políticas públicas que acompañen la evolución de secto- res clave hacia la integración electrónica. Desde soporte en certificaciones IPC, hasta atracción de procesos de semiconductores tipo ATP (assembly, testing, and packaging), el estado se prepara para lo que viene. Y mientras a nivel federal aún se afinan estrate- gias, Guanajuato ya tiene un plan en marcha. "En el rubro de electrónica, Guanajuato ha arrancado la marcha y definido su rumbo", concluye. "Trabajamos incansablemente para garantizar que las empresas que confían en nosotros vean resultados a largo plazo, no solo en rentabilidad, sino en excelencia operativa e impacto social", con- cluyó Hernández. "Lo hacemos de la mano de la Global Electronics Association, el IECA y una red en crecimiento lista para prosperar." SMT007 Lorena Villanueva es la directora de Global Electronics Association México. Modern electronics manufacturing requires technolo- gies with high reliability. By using formic acid in convec- tion, condensation, and contact soldering, Rehm Thermal Systems' equipment ensures reliable, void-free solder joints — even when using flux-free solder pastes. Thanks to the integrated formic acid process, subsequent clean- ing of the assemblies can be eliminated. This innovative technology was recognized with the Mexico Technology Award at the SMTA Guadalajara event. Rehm Thermal Systems is responding to the indus- try's growing demand to eliminate traditional fluxes and complex cleaning processes with an innovative and exclusive solution. By successfully integrating acid-based technology into the Condenso series, the company marks another technological milestone. In the flux-free soldering process, the inert carri- er gas (N₂) is enriched with formic acid (HCOOH) and introduced into the process chamber. The excellent heat transfer of the medium, combined with vacuum technology, ensures an optimal soldering process. Un- like traditional fluxes, which leave residues that must be removed, the formic acid completely decompos- es into gaseous by-products (CO₂, CO, H₂O), enabling clean solder joints. This makes subsequent cleaning of assemblies unnecessary. The Mexico Technology Awards 2025 were an- nounced by the trade magazine Mexico EMS during a ceremony held at the Westin Hotel in Guadalajara, Rehm Wins Mexico Technology Award for CondensoXLine With Formic Acid Jalisco. Forty-five companies were recognized for their contributions to the Mexican electronics indus- try. Once again, Rehm Thermal Systems Mexico re- ceived a Mexico Technology Award, joining the ranks of companies driving technological innovation, im- proving productivity and manufacturing quality, and delivering cost-efficient solutions. The CondensoX- Line FA 2025 has also been nominated for the Produc- tronica Innovation Award. Rehm's presence in Mexico is developing into an im- portant hub for electronics manufacturing, particular- ly in consumer electronics and the automotive sec- tor. The location recently celebrated its 10th anniver- sary and hoste d a well- attende d Te chnology Day. In its new 960 m² facilities in a modern industrial park in Guadalajara, Rehm supports both OEMs and EMS pro- viders with locally adapted process technology. (Source: Rehm Thermal Systems)
