Johannes Rehm Named “Manager of the Year” by Markt & Technik
Bavaria, Germany — German trade journal Markt & Tech- nik has named Johannes Rehm, managing director of Rehm
Thermal Systems, “Manager of the Year 2016.” Over 7,000 participants cast votes across ten separate categories to rec- ognize their favorite directors. Mr. Rehm was one of three award recipients in the SMT equipment category. Mr. Rehm was recognized for his dedication to the
field of SMT equipment. With his idea to build small, af- fordable reflow soldering systems with gas-proof and ac- cessible chambers, he set new standards in the early 1990s. Established as a two-man business, Mr. Rehm de- veloped his company step by step to become a global play- er. With a multi-million dollar investment in a new build- ing and a new technology center, the company makes a strong statement at its site in Blaubeuren, Germany. Since its inception, Rehm Thermal Systems has produced its entire product portfolio at the company headquarters, from construction to a reflow soldering system ready for series production. Today, the company has 26 business segments in 24 countries. Upon receiving the award, Mr. Rehm said that he was
excited to have won the award, thankful to the voters for their choice, and grateful to his customers and business partners for their support over the last 25 years. “Natural- ly, the award also goes to the entire Rehm team, which con- tributes to our successful growth everyday,” he concluded.

Creform Breaks Ground for Production and Technical Support Center
Greer, SC — Creform Corporation, a manufacturer of adaptive material handling systems including worksta- tions, flow racks, carts and AGVs, has broken ground for a new produc- tion and administration facility in or- der to meet the demands of its ever- expanding customer base. The location in Georgetown,
Kentucky, puts the company in close proximity to its many large cus- tomers in the region and provides a pivotal location between its Greer, South Carolina headquarters and Novi, Michigan, tech center. The ground-breaking ceremony
was attended by dignitaries includ- ing Kentucky state representative Tom McKee, Kentucky state senator
Damon Thayer, Tom Prather, mayor of Georgetown, and Atsuhiko Yazaki, president of Creform Corporation. Creform will build a 35,000 sq.
ft. facility to house engineering, man- ufacturing, sales, administration and a showroom for its many products. It will also provide ample room for demos and customer trials. The new location was critical to the company’s expanding AGV business in this area and will allow the company to re- spond rapidly to customers. The com- pany’s AGV business continues to re- alize growth and potential. It is anticipated that the location
will eventually house about 25 associ- ates in all phases of the operation. It is expected to be complete by the year’s
end. According to Keith Soderlund, Creform’s vice president, “Our new fa- cility will not only strengthen our rela- tionship with many of our large cus- tomers in the area, it is also a testa- ment to our continued growth in mar- kets that we serve.” The Creform System is used to
create an array of material handling and efficiency enhancing devices and is a proven component in continuous improvement programs. The company partners with customers in developing
and implementing the programs. Contact: Creform Corp., P.O.

PacTech employees inspecting products in a cleanroom.
A wide range of wafer bumping
subcontracting services is available at the company’s facility in Santa Clara, including UBM (under bump metal) and OPM (over pad metal) plating, solder ball attach, wafer re- passivation, wafer-level RDL, and CSP and BGA ball rework/re-balling. Services in the area of backend, in- spection and die sorting/packaging include laser marking, wafer sawing, AOI, chip-level manual microscope inspection and die packaging. A highlight of PacTech USA’s
range of services is its double-sided in- terconnection on glass interposer for the prototyping sector. This technolo- gy is the fastest means of producing flip-chips —priceless technology when time-to-demonstration is tight. PacTech USA works closely
with its German headquarters and is currently establishing a three-shift system to keep up with all its con- tract orders. It was also recently ap- proved to ISO 14001 standard — a feat that only a few German compa- nies in the sector have accomplished to date. Dr. Thorsten Teutsch, presi- dent and COO of PacTech USA, added, “We continue making invest- ments in new capabilities and ex- panded services, such as the electro- plating of copper, re-passivation, and redistribution (RDL), to support our
customers in the Americas.” Contact: PacTech USA, 328
