MSD handling specialist and global manufacturer of ultra low humidity drying and storage cabinets Totech Super DryR (
www.superdry. info) has announced the appointment of The Stratesys Group to represent their growing product line in southern California. Totech EU is managed
in the Americas by Protean Marketing and began nearly a decade ago as a distribution and technical support channel for Totech, the Japanese brand that invented ultra-low humidity cabinets in 1974 with patented Zeolite technology. Rapid growth was fuelled by European RoHS legislation that magnifi ed the need to carefully control product failures caused by moisture sensitive devices (MSDs). Since then, Super DryÆ by Totech has become an independent design and manufacturing organization serving global markets with leading edge MSD solutions. Formed by industry veteran Tom
Seratti, Stratesys Group provides its customer base a unique, new value by leveraging CRM technology along with its depth of industry and product knowledge. They represent not only traditional Production
Supplies and Automated Assembly Equipment, but also Test & Measurement, Chemical Process and Clean Room product lines. “We are extremely pleased to have
found a channel partner with a unique perspective and approach to their market,î explained Protean Director Richard Heimsch. ìMSD management practices in the Americas are still wildly inconsistent and often lack understanding of the scope of both the problems and the available proven solutions.

model is ideally suited to fi ll those voids and answer those challenges.” Following RoHS deadlines, European
electronics manufacturers rapidly recognized the need to establish comprehensive material management programs including storage and drying of components. In partnership with the top electronics companies in Europe, Totech Super DryR developed technology designed to exceed the formidable challenges associated with IPC J-STS-033B.1 for handling of Moisture Sensitive Devices. Entirely new systems were subsequently developed by Totech EU, who is now a full scale design and manufacturing organization with engineering and manufacturing facilities in Germany and The Netherlands. “We have not only developed
solutions for a new electronics process problem, but they are also unmatched in environmental friendliness.” added Jos Brehler, Totech Managing director. “These systems consume less than 1% of the energy of traditional baking methods while at the same time reducing overall fl oor space and logistics.” Learn more at
