Ventec International Group Co., Ltd., a world leader in the production of polyimide and high reliability epoxy laminates and prepregs and specialist provider of thermal management and IMS solutions, has appointed Lynn Kahler (East US) and Ken Butte (West US) as OEM marketing managers. As part of the US-Sales team as well as the Global OEM Team, their focus lies on markets requiring high-speed/low-loss solutions and applications where signal integrity is essential.
With over 35 years of technical experience in the electronics manufacturing industry, including roles at Schlumberger Well Services, Compaq Computer, and NCR with design and program management experience and engineering roles at Merix Corporation, Perfect Circuit International and most recently Sanmina, Lynn Kahler brings with him extensive knowledge of the PCB industry, along with an impressive network of leading contacts that he has nurtured through years of experience in the industry.

His extensive experience and proven account management skills enable Ken to confidently offer Ventec’s Western US OEM customers the right advice for the selection and specification of materials that ensure optimum product performance and cost-effectiveness without compromising manufacturability or functionality.

The Chemical Connection: Getting to Know Your Vendor
02/16/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionAfter working for a capital equipment supplier for almost 50 years, I’ve found that the most important part of getting to know your vendor is good communication among all parties. While contact between fabricators of a constantly changing product line and the designers of those products may occur daily or weekly, conversations between you and your equipment supplier may be years apart. That lengthy gap often means that previous contacts may have been promoted, retired, or moved on to other opportunities. You may have also migrated to a new supplier with whom you have little or no history. In either case, you will be interacting with someone you are unfamiliar with (as they are with you). Therefore, it is essential for both sides to communicate clearly so expectations will align.
