Then the Board side chimes in. Aqueous Technologies acquired Austin American Technology’s MicroJet family of conveyorized inline defluxing systems – a smart move to increase their capability
Henkel appointed Luc Godefroid as the company’s global sales director for its semiconductor group. Everyone wishes him well as a key member of their team since 2001.
The IPC announced their statistical results. Rigid PCB shipments are down 14.2 % and bookings are down 24.5 % in December 2008 from December 2007. Year to date, rigid PCB shipments are up 0.9 % and bookings are down 5.5 %. Compared to the previous month, rigid PCB shipments decreased 0.9 % and rigid bookings decreased 4.6 %. The book-to-bill ratio for the North American rigid PCB industry in December 2008 fell to 0.89.
Even flexible circuit shipments in December 2008 are down 17.1 %, but bookings are up 23.8 % compared to December 2007. The North American flexible circuit book-to-bill ratio in December 2008 jumped to 1.08.
And they must feel that it’s a good bet, because the IPC just created a new tradeshow, the IPC International Conference on Flexible Circuits on April 21 – 23 in Minneapolis. Flexible circuit technology has risen from a niche interconnection solution to a mainstream technology that is increasingly becoming the interconnection method of choice in product design. From fine lines to multilayer to high density, flexible circuits offer an array of choices with a growing number of benefits. Joe Fjelstad, the man who wrote the book on flex circuits, will present his keynote, Flexible Circuit Technology – New Applications, Challenges, and Solutions for the 21st Century.”
