Ventec Completes Phase I of $300k Investment Plan at its German Service Center
December 4, 2018 | VentecEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Ventec International Group Co., Ltd. has completed the first phase of its $300k investment drive at its Central European facility in Germany.
The initial phase focused on fully upgrading the 650sqm dedicated laminate cutting room with the installation and upgrade of new power supply- and state-of-the-art extraction fittings and an additional diamond blade saw from Taiwanese manufacturer Yow Shi. Combined with the optimized layout, Ventec has achieved a two-fold increase in laminate cutting capacity, greater flexibility, and shorter lead-times.
The $300,000 investment program underlines Ventec’s commitment to further strengthen its German facility and team in Kirchheimbolanden. The next phase, which is due to be completed by the end of Q1 of 2019, will see an upgraded cleanroom environment for prepreg panelization and the installation of an aluminum coil cutting line to improve capability and increase capacity for drill entry materials.
Frank Lorentz, production manager and deputy general manager commented: “We are experiencing a significant growth in demand for our materials, so the investment in our German facility is key to achieving additional production capability, sustained quality assurance and continued reliability of on-time material delivery. The refurbishment to date was expertly overseen by our mechanical engineer Matthias Rupp and we are proud that the facility upgrade was accomplished without affecting the delivery promise to our customers.” He continued: “My personal thanks go to Rupp and the entire team for working hard to ensure an uninterrupted service.”

Designers Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 1
01/25/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe designer needs to have a working understanding of two key manufacturing operations: basic circuit board fabrication procedures and assembly process practices. For printed circuit board manufacturing, the number of steps required to produce the printed circuit board correlates to the circuit board's complexity. Greater process complexity in fabricating the circuit board equates to increased costs. To develop any portion of the electronic product, the designer must apply the design for manufacturing (DFM) principles established in the industry. In fact, DFM should always be the goal of the design engineer. It encompasses a wide range of disciplines that must be considered during the planning phase of any product.
