Laserssel Appoints Kurt Whitlock Associates as Newest Rep

Aug 20, 2019

Laserssel, the leading provider of Laser Selective Reflow (LSR) to the electronics industry, has today announced their newest rep appointment of Mike Holleran of Kurt Whitlock Associates, who will cover all of Florida.

We are absolutely thrilled to partner with Kurt,” commented Denis Barbini, Ph.D, Managing Director of the USA for Laserssel. “Florida is a hotspot with many potential customers, and we trust that Kurt and his team will be the best match to help us break into the region.

Laser Selective Reflow (LSR) is designed to deliver a uniform defocused laser beam over a specifically tailored area on a PCB. The uniform defocused beam is controlled and delivered to the product via the BSOM (Beam Shaping Optic Module system) on user defined area. This unique feature permits the user to implement novel soldering solutions not possible with past techniques.  It also allows the selective application of energy to locations that require soldering while not heating up potentially thermally sensitive areas. LSR is potentially a means to also mitigate or even eliminate the warpage of various packages. It provides super reliable and fast, only 1~3 seconds laser bonding per selected area, bonding process. It was made possible by highly uniform optic system and distinctive recipe developed by Laserssel. 

For the 40 years, Kurt Whitlock Associates has searched the world for cutting edge companies to represent and distribute to electronics assembly customers and potential markets. Their array of companies provide unmatched solutions to meet high volume, high mix, and mid to low volume requirements with the same level of service and technical support.

I think Laserssel has an innovative technology that will help streamline their customers’ process and add measurable benefits,” added Mike Holleran, “and I think it’s going to be a no brainer for most people looking to invest in a laser selective reflow solution.
