Substantial Chinese interest in ECWC9 and EPC2002

As registrations for the world conference and EPC are coming in rapidly now, it turns out that the Chinese PCB industry shows a huge interest to visit or participate at these major events in Europe. Only last week 80 industry colleagues from the People's Republic of China signed up as conference delegates for ECWC9. Attracted by the superb conference programme these delegates will also want to meet the European equipment and material suppliers at EPC2002. 

 

In the spotlight: Fuji Photo Film Europe

In the spotlight is an item in the Newsflashes where exhibitors of EPC are highlighted and company profiles are given. The companies in this item are picked at random. In this first issue it is Fuji Photo Film Europe.

 

10 years ago, Fujifilm started to produce also PCB film in Japan for the Asian market. Due to the high market requirements regarding quality and reliability of PCB film, Fujifilm is the ideal supplier with its year long experience in producing top quality products, which is also reflected by the great success of its PCB film in Asia. For this reason Fujifilm decided to introduce a renovated product line of PCB film in Europe as well. Fujifilm offers a variety of films which provide superior sharpness and processing stability. Fuji Film Europe is an exhibitor at EPC2002 and can be found at stand 5017. For more information: www.fujifilm.de. In the next issue of Newsflash Lloyd Doyle will be "in the spotlight".
