Reza Meshgin Appointed Multek CEO
December 7, 2018 | MultekEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Multek has named Reza Meshgin as CEO, effective December 1, 2018. In addition, Multek’s outgoing CEO, Franck Lize, has decided to move into an advisory role with DSBJ, Multek’s parent company. This will enable DSBJ to pursue new, game-changing opportunities, while ensuring a smooth transition between Reza and Franck.
“We are fortunate to have someone of Reza Meshgin’s caliber and experience to lead Multek,” said Yuan Yonggang, chairman and president of DSBJ. “Multek will be in good hands under the steady, strategic, and proven leadership of Reza—who will continue to serve as CEO of MFLEX, Multek’s sister company specializing in flexible printed circuits. Multek’s current executive leadership team will now report to Reza as they each continue serving in their existing capacity.”
Reza has held the President and CEO role at MFLEX for over ten years. He was previously Chief Operating Officer for MFLEX since 2004, when the company successfully listed on NASDAQ. During Reza’s leadership, MFLEX achieved significant growth, substantially expanded overseas manufacturing, and was successfully acquired by strategic buyer DSBJ. Reza’s demonstrated leadership, operational excellence, and innovative vision has guided MFLEX well over the years and will be extremely valuable in steering Multek going forward.
“I am honored and excited to lead Multek and would like to start by thanking Franck for his great leadership in the past few years, which has transformed Multek to the great company it is today,” said Reza. “I look forward to interacting with the Multek team in the coming weeks and have no doubt that together as a team we can take the company to the next level.”
Founded in 1978, Multek currently operates a 1.6 million square feet campus in Zhuhai, China, offering one-stop engineering and manufacturing services for rigid Printed Circuit Board (PCBs), flexible printed circuits (FPC), rigid-flex, and assembly. Multek’s plants and laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment.

American Made Advocacy: Going Beyond the CHIPS Act to Power American Manufacturing
03/26/2024 | Travis Kelly -- Column: American Made AdvocacyWhere have all the factories gone? A tour of America’s former bustling manufacturing communities is a stark reminder that, for the past three decades, we let the microelectronics manufacturing ecosystem disappear overseas, primarily to Asia. For decades, foreign competitors seeking to control critical markets played a long game. Government investment and subsidies were effective in undercutting U.S. and European companies. As other countries created this unfair competitive advantage in manufacturing, the know-how also migrated in their direction. This resulted in the serious workforce challenges the semiconductor and printed circuit board industries face today.

Happy’s Tech Talk #26: Balancing the Density Equation
03/14/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkPrinted circuit design and layout is a creative process that has profound implications for electronic products. With the need for more parts on an assembly, or the trend to make things smaller to be portable or for faster speeds, the design process is a challenging one. The process is one of “balancing the density equation” (Figure 1) with considerations for certain boundary conditions like electrical and thermal performance. Unfortunately, many designers do not realize that there is a mathematical process to the layout of a printed circuit
A Brief History of IPC APEX EXPO
03/13/2024 | Alicia Balonek, IPCIn 1998, the Surface Mount Equipment Manufacturers Association (SMEMA) approached IPC for help. Because of IPC’s success with the Printed Circuits Expo and recognizing the need to establish control of its own event, the discussions between SMEMA and IPC ensued. This led to a merger between the two organizations and provided SMEMA with IPC member benefits.
