Ventec International Group has established volume inventory of halogen-free FR4.1 and FR15.1 PCB materials at its European hub in Germany.

Ventec’s COO, Mark Goodwin, said: “Trading conditions worldwide are challenging the supply chains of high-tech manufacturing businesses, resulting in significant changes to EMEA supply chains for halogen-free laminates and prepregs. Our strategic stock investment in these FR4.1 and FR15.1materials strengthens Ventec’s commitment to Europe’s PCB makers and upholds the industry’s commitment to sustainability. While others take a step back from EMEA, Ventec takes a step forward.”

OEMs often look to halogen-free by design, at the substrate level, for compliance with regulations such as RoHS and REACH. Many others make the choice voluntarily to enhance their products’ environmental credentials. A fast and reliable, long-term supply of halogen free laminate and pre-preg materials for PCB production protects the entire value chain, saving costs and delays to source alternative materials.
