We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Electronics manufacturing",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release EMS industry gains new voice from
Intellect, which we summarised at the time by saying "Aim is to improve the business environment for its members by shaping markets, influencing government policy and providing thought leadership and business services".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Investment anticipates UK manufacturing upturn from
TT electronic manufacturing services (TTems): "Contrary to the negative growth that many UK-based CEMs are currently experiencing, TTems is responding to an increasing number of market opportunities".
In November 2007, we covered the news from iNEMI (International Electronics Mfg Initiative)
- take a look at Book presents six years of lead-free research
which says: "Data from several large reliability studies, including rework on standard and large boards, demonstrated the manufacturability of the recommended solder".
Take a look also at the news release from HDP User Group, Global alliance to shape packaging trends,
as well as Electronics companies set up in new regions from Frost and Sullivan,
and Event encourages Scottish entrepeneurs from Innovation Centres Scotland (ICS).
