John Arena, Marketing Manager, Teradyne Production Board Test

Onshoring has been the topic of much discussion recently, with feature articles popping up in major business publications and online sources. This is of course good news for companies manufacturing within the United States and in some cases Mexico. As concerns with rising overseas labor costs, long-distance logistics and intellectual property security continue to put U.S.-based manufacturers in a more favorable light, we see the North American assembly market increasing in 2015 and beyond.

One sign of this trend is the growing demand for our ESE screen printers from Korea. These advanced-technology printers are becoming a preferred alternative to higher-priced models from the industry's most prestigious printer manufacturers. The market has responded to ESE printers not only because of their competitive pricing and ease of use, but also because of their high quality and reliability -- indicators of an interest in long-term manufacturing success.

To meet the needs of this expanding market, ESL will continue to provide our customers with outstanding door-to-door service and support.
