Semi-Kinetics Invests in Heller Reflow Oven as Part of Multi-Million Dollar Expansion at California Facility

Oct 06, 2025

Semi-Kinetics, a leading provider of electronic manufacturing services, is proud to announce the acquisition and commissioning of a high-performance Heller reflow oven, bolstering its thermal process capabilities at the company’s California manufacturing facility. This addition forms a key component of a broader, multi-million-dollar investment designed to scale capacity, improve reliability, and support advanced applications.

The new Heller reflow system brings state-of-the-art thermal profiling, uniform heating, and excellent process control across densely populated, high-mass assemblies. With superior temperature uniformity and features such as low delta-T gradients and nitrogen compatibility, the oven enables Semi-Kinetics to reduce defects, improve yield, and better support demanding customer specifications.

“Our commitment is to continuous improvement,” said Michael Leedom, CEO of Semi Kinetics. “This Heller oven is not just another piece of equipment, it’s a strategic enabler for us to deliver higher reliability, tighter process control, and consistent throughput to our customers. In the context of our multi-million dollar expansion, it plays an essential role in future-proofing our capacity.”

The integration of this reflow solution is already underway. Semi-Kinetics engineers are optimizing thermal profiles for key product lines, and the new system is expected to be in full production within the next quarter. This upgrade further strengthens the company’s position in high-reliability markets, especially where thermal performance, void control, and repeatability are vital differentiators.

The Heller reflow system complements recent and planned investments in inspection, assembly, and test equipment. Together, they form a cohesive strategy to elevate the California facility’s competitiveness and serve as a foundation for growth in high-end electronics markets.

From design to delivery, Semi-Kinetics continues to evolve its processes and expand its offerings to support customers looking for reliable, high-quality manufacturing solutions.
