San Diego, CA — KIC, a leading provider of thermal process solutions for electronics manufacturing, has announced the expansion of its service capabilities in Mexico.

KIC has served customers in Mexico for decades and has maintained a local presence since 2012. KIC Mexico’s main office for sales and support was established in Guadalajara 5 years ago. The company has also supported the region with two field service engineers dedicated to technical support, installations, and training.

Now, in response to strong customer demand, KIC is strengthening its commitment by adding a third field service engineer and establishing two additional calibration and repair centers. These new centers will be located in Juarez and Cuautla (Mexico City region), alongside the existing Guadalajara facility.

The expansion provides customers across Mexico with faster, more localized, and cost-effective access to calibration and repair services, reducing downtime and helping manufacturers maximize the performance of their KIC solutions.

“We know the Mexico market very well and have always invested in customer service as a key part of our solutions,” said Gerardo Gallegos, KIC Service Manager. “This expansion ensures our customers will benefit from the best localized service and support available.”

KIC’s expanded footprint underscores its role as a trusted partner for electronics manufacturers in Mexico, combining world-class technology with responsive, local service.

Atlanta – ECIA’s 2025 Executive Conference Committee is pleased to announce an expanded session on cybersecurity presented by CrowdStrike’s Senior Director of Field Engineering Thuy Nguyen.

“eCrime actors have streamlined their go-to-market strategies by specializing and standardizing their playbooks for tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs). They have become a faster, nimbler and more flexible adversary,” Thuy Nguyen explained. “In this session, we will review a brief history of the evolving eCrime economy and discuss how growing trends like AI adoption lower the barrier to entry for even less skilled threat actors to execute highly sophisticated targeted campaigns.”

“At last year’s conference, CrowdStrike’s breakfast session was widely attended, so we knew we wanted to invite these experts back,” added Stephanie Tierney, ECIA Director of Communications and Member Engagement. “With this topic gaining even more attention this year, we are anticipating this session to be very helpful to attendees.”

Sponsorships are filling fast! This Conference offers personal access to industry experts, ample time to discuss important issues and critical networking opportunities.

ICZOOM Group Inc., a leading B2B electronic component e-commerce platform, has announced the introduction of its integrated printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing and surface mount technology (SMT) assembly services at the IIC Shenzhen 2025. This announcement was made during the International Integrated Circuit & Component Exhibition and Conference held from August 26-28, 2025, at the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center.

This strategic move signals ICZOOM's expansion beyond electronic component distribution, creating a more comprehensive profit model and service offering. The company's new services include a full-process suite—ranging from electronic component procurement, customs declaration, and smart warehousing to PCB manufacturing and SMT assembly, specifically designed to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

By partnering with high-quality manufacturers, ICZOOM aims to leverage its industry relationships to execute a capital-efficient expansion without significant upfront investments. This allows the company to enhance its existing one-stop order fulfillment services, strengthening its supply chain solutions for SME customers who often face challenges managing fragmented supply chains and multiple vendor relationships.

The launch at the high-profile IIC Shenzhen 2025 positions ICZOOM to capture additional revenue streams beyond its traditional component sales, potentially increasing its service offerings to include design, manufacturing management, and assembly services.

Founded in Shenzhen, China, ICZOOM Group Inc. continues to cater to the needs of SMEs in the consumer electronics, Internet of Things (IoT), automotive electronics, and industry control segments, with a focus on providing transparent and efficient e-commerce solutions for electronic component products.

TROY, MI ― Amtech Electrocircuits, a leading provider of manufacturing solutions, today announced the introduction of its proprietary automation model designed specifically for high-mix, low-volume (HMLV) production environments. This breakthrough approach integrates modular robotics, intelligent process design, and in-house software platforms to deliver the flexibility and speed that traditional automation systems lack.

Unlike rigid, high-volume automation lines, Amtech’s model is purpose-built for customers who demand rapid new product introductions, complex assemblies, and consistent quality across diverse product types. The system leverages scalable robotic cells, real-time data feedback, and dynamic factory layouts that can be reconfigured to meet changing requirements.

“Traditional automation wasn’t built with HMLV in mind,” said Jay Patel, President of Amtech Electrocircuits. “We developed this model to solve that challenge—giving our customers the agility to bring products to market faster while maintaining world-class precision and reliability.”

The automation framework has already been implemented within Amtech’s operations, where it has demonstrated measurable improvements in throughput, quality consistency, and cost efficiency. By combining robotics with proprietary control software, the model creates a smart, adaptive environment that balances efficiency with customization.

Amtech is an innovator in electronics manufacturing, providing customers with a solution that bridges the gap between flexibility and automation in today’s market.
