Chris-
Sorry you missed the APEX Show.
I need to elaborate on one of your quotes: "Last year a number of major
suppliers didn't go to the event and went to APEX instead -is this set to
continue / get worse this year or are the companies that missed out last
year coming back" The major companies did not miss out - they were driven'
away. The Major players (Siemens, Cookson, Philips, Universal,
Dek,..........) along with IPC SMEMA Council are the back bone and success
of APEX. I can assure you they will not be "going back".
From your posting I assume you are looking for machines/ materials
manufacturers. APEX was the best spot to find this information. There a host
of other smaller shows in North America but as Phil Z. put it in an earlier
posting, Productronica (Nov 6-9, 2001) is your next best shot of seeing
equipment under one roof.
Looking ahead: Productronica Nov 6-9, 2001 and then APEX January 19-26,
2002 should give you all the information on equipment you need.
Best regards,
CAL
ACI- Equipment Advisory Board

°
°
°Hi there everybody,
°
°we missed sending anyone to the APEX exhibition this year, and are
°considering whether or not to go to the Etronix exhibition. Does anyone
°know what the status of this exhibition is now? Last year a number of
°major suppliers didnt go to the event and went to APEX instead - is this
°set to continue / get worse this year or are the companies that missed
°out last year coming back?
°
°We went to the Elenex electronics exhibition in Australia last year and
°it turned out to be a disappointment in terms of the range of electronic
°assembly equipment on display, and I would hate to send anyone all the
°way to LA for an exhibition where the main players werent there.
°
°Thanks in advance for any comments.
