NASHVILLE – KYZEN, the global leader in innovative environmentally friendly cleaning chemistries, is gearing up for a busy month exhibiting at the SMTA Pudget Sound, Wisconsin, Juarez and Capital Expos in May to discuss its new AQUANOX ® A4626 Next-Generation Aqueous Cleaning Solution.
KYZEN combines its award-winning chemistry with process control to create the perfect match and ultimate reliability. For over thirty years, KYZEN has provided innovative and exceptional cleaning chemistries that work. Cleaning chemistry only works if it is in the wash tank and at the optimal concentration consistently. That is why KYZEN’s engineers developed the KYZEN PCS (Process Control System) and the KYZEN ANALYST to help manage your cleaning process, so you don’t have to worry.
AQUANOX A4626 is a next-generation cleaning chemistry designed to quickly remove the latest polymeric no-clean flux residues, while providing superior results on traditional lead- free and eutectic tin-lead residues as well. When a chemistry that can efficiently remove flux residues and a process control system that monitors wash bath concentration in real-time come together, you create a process that just makes sense.
KYZEN products and cleaning experts have always been focused on the process so you can be sure the newest AQUANOX product will fit into your production line. Adding KYZEN's Process Control System or the KYZEN Analyst paired with KYZEN Analyst Data Services will complete the optimization and provide you with a worry-free process.

WASHINGTON DC – Effective May 1, 2023, Nathan Edwards will transition into the role of executive director of the U.S. Partnership for Assured Electronics (USPAE). Currently serving as director of government development, Edwards will replace Chris Peters who will continue with the organization as a senior advisor, providing continuity and focus on special projects.
As executive director of USPAE, Edwards will be responsible for establishing and growing the organization to help ensure the U.S. Government has access to trusted, secure, and resilient electronics supply chains. One of the organization’s signature programs is the $42 million Defense Electronics Consortium, which provides a contract vehicle for the Department of Defense (DoD) to work on electronics-related challenges with trusted partners in industry and academia, including small and medium-sized innovators that typically do not do business with DoD.
Edwards joined USPAE in August 2022 after being highly recommended by several members of the electronics manufacturing community. He has significant electronics expertise stemming from an impressive academic record and valuable experience in commercial and government environments. Much of that experience involves security of microelectronics and hardware systems, including five patents for the protection of embedded technologies. Edwards’s previous employers have ranged from Medtronic and Boeing to Sandia National Laboratories. He also has supported the Trusted and Assured Microelectronics program under the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
“Nathan’s electronics expertise and experience in both commercial and government segments make him ideally suited to continue the growth of USPAE,” said board member and retired Navy Rear Admiral Kevin Sweeney. “Chris has done a superb job as founding director and we’re grateful that he will help transition Nathan into this leadership role.”
Adds John W. Mitchell, IPC president and CEO and USPAE board member, “We’re fortunate to have both Nathan and Chris as part of the USPAE leadership team. “Nathan knows the U.S. Government customer well, including the Department of Defense, and has substantial technical expertise. His work at USPAE will help us bridge the gap between industry capabilities and the governments’ needs for electronics that support our national and economic security. Chris’s extensive experience in driving the innovation and adoption of solutions throughout manufacturing supply chains has helped connect the electronics industry and government.”

SANTA CLARA, CA – Absolute EMS, Inc., an award-winning EMS provider of turnkey and consignment manufacturing services, was honored to welcome winners from a Brazilian Robotics Team to their state-of-the-art facility in Silicon Valley. The team, consisting of three talented young women, was awarded a trip to Silicon Valley to view some of the most advanced high-tech facilities in the world, with Absolute EMS being one of them.
During their visit, the team was given a tour of Absolute EMS' cutting-edge facility, which features the latest in manufacturing technology and equipment. The young women were able to witness firsthand the precision and attention to detail that goes into the manufacturing of high-tech electronics. They also had the opportunity to speak with the team of experienced engineers and technicians who make up Absolute EMS' skilled workforce.
"We were thrilled to have the opportunity to host the winners of the Brazilian Robotics Team at our facility," said Jayne Carthy, VP Sales and Marketing. "We are committed to supporting the next generation of innovators and engineers, and we hope that this visit has inspired these talented young women to pursue their dreams in the field of robotics and technology."
After touring Absolute EMS’ facility, the team travelled to OLogic Inc, Silicon Valley’s premier engineering consulting company that specializes in robotics. At the OLogic office, the team spoke to CEO and Founder Ted Larson about the evolution of the robotic industry and how to bring products to market successfully.
The Brazilian Robotics Team is from the University of Brasilia in Brazil. The team traveled to California to participate in the RoboGames robotics competition. In this competition, they participated in the Balancer Race category where the objective was to create a robot that could balance itself and travel six meters and stop standing up at the end of the course. In the competition rules, the teams were given the freedom to choose how the robot would be controlled – either autonomously or not. The Brazilian Robotics Team was the only team in its category to produce an autonomous robot. The three young women who represented the team impressed judges with their innovative approach to robotics, and their determination to succeed in a male-dominated field.
Absolute EMS is committed to supporting the next generation of innovators and engineers, and this visit was just one example of the company's dedication to fostering a culture of innovation and excellence.
Absolute EMS is a leader in end-to-end electronic manufacturing services solutions that help its customers rapidly introduce innovative new technology by facilitating speed-to-market in their marketplace. Speed-to-market starts with engineering services, and extends into prototypes, pilots and then into production.
A long-time commitment to sustainability contributes to Absolute EMS leading the way for manufacturing operations among EMS organizations. For more information, visit www.absolute-ems.com
