Show Preview
A.R.T. to showcase its award-winning formula at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2026
A
dvanced Rework Technology Ltd. (A.R.T.) will exhibit at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2026 (3–5 February at Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre), where the company will focus on supporting electronics manufacturers with both the application of recently released IPC standard revisions, as well as independent technical consultancy. From Stand C22, the A.R.T. team will be available to discuss the implications of recent key updates including IPC-A-600M for printed board acceptability and IPC/WHMA-A-620F for cable and wire harness assemblies. Both standards feature revised acceptability criteria and inspection guidance that A.R.T. helps manufacturers implement through IPC-certified
training and practical technical support. Alongside its exhibition presence, A.R.T. will again support the Global Electronics Association IPC Hand Soldering Competition, continuing a long-standing involvement in skills development and standards-based assessment. Ben James, Master IPC Trainer, and Mark Harvey, IPC Master and Certified Trainer will represent the company on the judging panel, with Ben also supporting and judging the new IPC Cable and Wire Harness competition, which will be hosted at the event for the first time.
A.R.T. will also present its consultancy and solutions portfolio at the event, including tailored support in soldering, rework, inspection planning, materials evaluation, and
process optimisation. Debbie McDade, managing director of Advanced
Rework Technology, said: “Southern Manufacturing is an important opportunity to talk to manufacturers about why our Award- Winning Formula was
developed. Too often, training and consultancy are treated as separate activities, which can limit their impact. By bringing expert training, independent consultancy and practical implementation together within a single,
structured approach, we help manufacturers turn requirements into consistent, measurable outcomes on the production floor.”

solder wire, solder paste and flux products, supported by a wider consumables’ portfolio developed to support stable, repeatable and compliant electronics assembly across industrial and OEM manufacturing environments.
Rather than focusing on individual product launches, the company’s presence will centre on the strength and consistency of its established range, alongside a service-led approach that supports customers before, during and after supply.
Components in Electronics
Chris Ward, managing director at SolderKing Assembly Materials Ltd, said: “Consistency is not just
about formulation, it’s about control. By manufacturing all of our consumables in the UK, we can manage raw material selection, batch verification and process parameters closely, while maintaining short lead times and secure supply.
“We also carry out application testing that reflects real production conditions.
Events such as Southern Manufacturing are important because they allow us to discuss those technical details directly with manufacturers and understand where process stability and supply confidence are most critical.”

fast, secure and error-free connection. The modularity of the system allows individual adaptation to the specific requirements of the application, including the transmission of signal, data and power.
ODU-MAC Mass Interconnect This range adds a half-rack Compact Class. The existing variants of the ODU-MAC Black-Line offer up to 4,608 signal points, making them real heavyweights in test and measurement. However, not every customer needs this, hence the new Compact Class – half the width of a classic 19-inch test cabinet and offering up to up to 1,536 signal points.
