FINETECH ended 2009 with strong fourth quarter sales and increased activity in all markets.
Microelectronics assembly remained strong and the SMT rework market improved as well. We believe this trend will continue through 2010. In anticipation of this, FINETECH is growing through product innovation and company acquisition.
In November 2009, FINETECH announced the purchase of Martin GmbH (Wessling, Germany). The Martin rework and dispensing equipment is a perfect complement to FINETECH's product line, completing a portfolio for all rework budgets and offering manual, semiautomatic, and automatic systems.
Standalone modules for dispense, BGA reballing and pre-bumping allow boards and components to be prepared without occupying the rework machine.
FINETECH and Martin's combined experience will provide solutions for today and a future pathway for customers to grow. In 2010, customers will be looking for performance in a value package – a cost model that is easier to justify.
To support this growth, we have added sales and application engineers, thus maintaining the close personal support our customers have come to expect from us.
FINETECH also has introduced the FINEPLACER Core and Matrix systems for 2010. Core provides a compact rework solution at a value price, using FINETECH's proven heating technologies for process reproducibility. The Matrix models offer our most advanced configurations for both microassembly applications and rework.

A very different and pleasant outlook from what we saw going into 2009. However, the business climate is tougher than ever. We can only hope that investors will allow companies to bolster their infrastructure and product portfolio ...

Mark Brawley, National Sales Manager Americas, DEK
 The actions needed to prepare for 2010, and the much anticipated upturn, were taken in 2009. These included improving lines of communication with customers and channel responsiveness. Experience shows that agility is essential in an upturn. Manufacturers tend to ramp up faster than they scaled down, and they typically want even greater value. Which is why we also took the initiative to invest in our core printer platforms ...

Scott Wischoffer, Marketing Manager, Fuji America Corporation
 The first few months of the New Year will be slower than we'd like but much better than it has been. Consumer confidence in the economy is still very negative and the high unemployment rate has most everyone afraid to spend money keeping any manufacturing expansion to the minimum. Machine sales will increase but production capacity will not. New capital equipment purchases will be mainly niche markets, equipment ...
