fessionals operating state-of-the- art equipment and solving cus- tomer problems. Around a third of its team consists of CAD engi- neers who help clients by manip- ulating data and aiding in solv- ing issues. “While we do serve cus-
tomers worldwide, our primary focus is in North America, partic- ularly Canada, the U.S. and Mexico,” says Nolan. “We aim to bolster the electronics manufac- turing sector in this region and deliver a heightened level of service.” To handle this, the com- pany invests heavily in its infra- structure, attracting talent and incorporating top-notch technol- ogy at each of its locations.

ter, New Hampshire, was due to the company’s acquisition of Pho- to Etch Technologies (PET). StenTech merged two existing lo- cal facilities into a single, more extensive one. The facility is well-equipped and currently stands as the largest stencil pro- ducer in North America in terms of volume.
Acquisitions play a crucial
role in the company’s long-term goals. Some have been strategi- cally based on location, such as Advanced Tooling Design, which provided the company with a strong presence in Silicon Valley. PET also gave the company a new facility in Florida, which it will open soon.

specialized products division, is a leader in electroform stencil technology, specializing in laser- cut and nickel-based stencils, tooling and parts. Its cutting- edge capabilities make it the on- ly U.S. domestic provider of the most complex paste, flux, epoxy and special materials printing solutions. This enables the company to
service high-end customers in the semiconductor industry, as well as localized contract manu- facturers that have traditionally needed to go offshore for special- ized solutions. The company also intro-

duced a new laser system to its facility in Guadalajara, Mexico. “Working with great part-
ners, such as LPKF, we’ve in- vested in cutting-edge technolo- gy at five different locations, in- cluding Guadalajara,”
says
Nolan. “The goal is to ensure that all StenTech facilities across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico are well equipped and can offer the best technology and services possible.”
StenTech’s primary role in the industry is to solve problems.
As components continue to miniaturize, the challenge lies in effectively applying them to PCBs with reliable solder joints. “We foresee these challenges
originating from our customers’ needs,” says Nolan. “We aim to stay connected with them, iden- tify their problems and provide innovative solutions as these needs become more complex. Staying ahead in the industry in terms of technology and main- taining a strong connection with our customers will be our pri- mary strategy.”
Values Honesty is at the core of
StenTech’s values. “We do what we say we will do and we’re up- front about our capabilities,” says Nolan. “Whether we can meet a specific need or not, we have transparent conversations with our customers to find the best solutions.” The company’s ability to in-
novate and solve industry-specific problems, such as coating chal- lenges while components shrink, is a testament to its expertise. StenTech is not just another sten- cil company, but an innovative so- lutions provider that will further expand its capabilities in 2024. Contact: StenTech, 8350 N

and the geometric design of the absorber, which was optimized through numerical analysis and simulations, contribute to its re- markable absorption in the THz range. Notably, a key character- istic of the proposed absorber is its tunability, which arises from an adjustable Fermi level. This parameter is essential in materi- als and semiconductor technolo- gy as it determines the distribu- tion of electrons at different en- ergy levels. By applying a voltage to the
graphene layer, it is possible to modify its Fermi level, which in turn enables one to easily fine- tune the absorption bandwidth. Soon, THz devices could be-
come part of everyday technolo- gy, especially in fields such as medicine and communications, as well as in more research-ori- ented endeavors like materials science and biology.
