More than 350 exhibitors serving the electronics assembly and printed board industries will display the latest technologies, materials and processes to help companies gain efficiencies, enhance their processes and get up to date with emerging technologies. New products will be introduced by more than 100 of those exhibitors, many introducing multiple products.
"There is a remarkable array of new products at the show this year, representing every facet of our industry," says Mary Mac Kinnon, IPC director of sales. "As the largest exhibition in North America for our industry, IPC APEX EXPO offers an unparalleled opportunity for attendees to shop and compare equipment, and discover new solutions and ways to improve company performance and productivity."
The new products and services will represent a number of product categories, including equipment and materials for electronics assembly, manufacturing and test; chemicals, materials and equipment for PCB manufacturing; design software; and many more. These new products offer practical solutions to evolving industry challenges, such as meeting the requirements of new environmental regulations, compatibility and reliability issues and storage.
