ARLINGTON, VA – The monthly order index compiled by the Electronic Components, Assemblies & Materials Association (ECA) jumped by more than 20% above July 2004, after a flat June and slight downturn in May.
"Last year, a flat July preceded a drop during the second half of the 2004 year," said Bob Willis, president. "This year, performance has fluctuated from month to month during the first half of the year, but overall the market has been positive. Buyers were cautious over the first half of the year, but now seem to be more confident that solid performance will continue over the second half."
The ECA represents manufacturers and producers of passive and active electronic components, component arrays and assemblies, and materials and support services. It is a sector of the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA).
Ogaki, Japan -- Ibiden Co. plans to set up its second printed circuit board plant in Beijing at a cost of 8 billion yen to supply PCBs to major cell phone makers, company sources said.
According to a release in a local paper, the company will produce thinner PCBs to help its corporate customers build smaller phone handsets with more functions at lower cost.
The new plant, functional by next summer, will have 30,000 sq. m of floor space and be built adjacent to the firm's existing 28,000-sq.-m facility. It will have about the same output capacity as the older plant, which turns out some 60 million PCBs a year.
