Complex OEM requirements
OEM requirements become constantly more complex. To fulfill them, enormous efforts must be done, to select, develop and fine-tune best in class processes for a constant and high-quality production. One part is to have the right chemistry and materials in place, but the right production equipment and parameters as well as the right ensemble of processes and process steps are also key to success.
The selection of processes requires a partner with a complete portfolio, that can meet all major OEM requirements. The MacDermid Alpha Electronics Solutions team consists of many full-time specialists in all regions of the world, who are partners of and in permanent contact with engineers and decision makers of the OEMs. At the end of their hard work, that can take many months or even years for one project, we receive in many cases an OEM approval.
