This past year Balver Zinn have invested more into R&D -- with Robots being an increasing footprint in our environment also customer pressure to reduce cost of soldering materials -- Balver Zinn R&D have focused on new products to meet these demands.

Balver Zinn has developed a wider range of core wire to meet the rising demand of robotic equipment and have tailored specific materials for certain robotic equipment.

Low manufacturing cost is always a customer goal and to this end Balve Zinn in conjunction with Nihon Superior have introduced SN100CV® into the European Market as an alternative for SAC solder paste.

For nearly 18 years Balver Zinn in partnership with Nihon Superior we have introduced SN100C® as a low cost alternative to SAC solder, and SN100C® is now a familiar trade name used across many industry platforms -- together we will continue to listen to customer needs and invest in the future.
