NetVia Group was founded more than 35 years ago, is a trusted manufacturer of time-sensitive, high-technology printed circuit boards for OEMs in the most demanding industries.

The acquisition of the Netvia Group into the Epec family brings together two companies that share the same values and passionate customer commitment of engineering excellence, superior quality, customer dedication, and on-time delivery.

Jeff Forbus, President of NetVia, stated: "After working with the team over the past several years, we have the highest respect and regard for Epec as a successful industry leader, with a proven long-term growth plan that will give our valued customers great support and services."

"Jeff and I are confident of a seamless transition, as all of NetVia's customers will work long-term with the same sales, customer service, and engineering employees, as we expand the manufacturing, inspection, and engineering capabilities at the Irving, Texas, location. Together, Jeff and I look forward to capitalizing on our complementary capabilities and growing our business for many years to come."

“New year, new you.” That tagline seems to be everywhere right now. All five must-reads this week reflect this theme. Does this apply to you and your company? We have quite a duke’s mixture of articles. We’ve got AT&S outlining their market position on advanced packaging, and Auburn University doing research on smart manufacturing processes. Keysight is coordinating practical 6G research in Europe, Technica shares where they see the market growing, and SEMI adds new members to a key board responsible for market guidance. These five stories drew a lot of reader attention this week.

As a flex circuit applications engineer, when I receive an RFQ, the first thing I do is look at the customer’s data and review their manufacturing notes. Quite often, I find notes that supersede IPC specifications in manufacturing documents, as customers often believe these added notes and associated specifications will make the circuit more robust. However, these non-standard IPC manufacturing specifications/notes can wreak havoc on the manufacturing process and can actually lead to a less robust circuit.
