Pete Doyon, VP Product Management, Schleuniger, Inc.

Thanks to a dedicated team of highly skilled Repair and Rework professionals I am proud to report in 2013 Circuit Technology Center celebrated 30 years of successful service to the printed circuit and electronic assembly industry. Not only was 2013 our 30th Anniversary it was also one of our most successful years.

We believe that in this world of continued offshoring of electronic assemblies, many US based manufacturers continue to turn to Circuit Technology Center as a reliable US based source for timely rework and repair services. Although we do our fair share of work for the Commercial marketplace, a greater percentage of our work is coming from the domestic military and medical industries.

We continue to invest in equipment, human capital and operational efficiencies. Our BGA rework technicians have top-of-the-line Dage X-ray equipment at their fingertips and we recently added X-ray fluorescence (XRF) equipment to enhance our capabilities. The XRF equipment allows us to provide very accurate plating thickness measurements and lead/no-lead content verification for our RoHS conscious customers.

Like all successful businesses, knowledge and skill development wins the day. As such, we continue to insist that all of our repair technicians maintain proper IPC Certification in 7711/7721B, A-610E and J-STD-001. As for operations, we leverage off our recent ISO 9001:2008 Certification to be our guide as we focus on continuous improvement activities.

For 30 years Circuit Technology Center has welcomed and risen to some of the most challenging applications the electronics industry has laid at our door step. If you need to recover from a design or production mistake, we may be your salvation.

If your rework and repair technicians are over their head in volume or complexity, we have the skill to support you. If time to market is jeopardizing your programs success, we may be able to save you the time you need. We are still here, we are still staffed with the industry's best, and we are still proud to demonstrate what we can do to help you and your company in this demanding fast paced market.
