Ventec USA to Open No. California Distribution Center


Amesbury, MA — Ventec USA, a provider of high quality copper clad laminates and prepreg bonding mate- rials, plans to open a strategically lo- cated regional distribution center that will complement the service already provided to Southern California cus- tomers from the company’s Fullerton facility. The new facility will be located at


1035 Mission Ct., Fremont, CA. Or- ders can be placed at OrdersCA@Ven- tec-USA.com or 714-773-9621. According to the company, for


reasons of supply chain integrity an increasing number of OEMs are in- sisting that their PCB suppliers buy specified laminate direct from the nominated manufacturer and not through third party distributors. This has given rise to the need to support Northern California cus- tomers from a local service center, to streamline the supply chain and bring the benefits of direct distribu- tion, together with local technical


and engineering support. Contact: Ventec USA, 21 Water
