Bob Black of Juki Honored with IPC President Award
April 9, 2010 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
MORRISVILLE, NC — Juki Corporation’s Bob Black, president and CEO, was awarded the IPC President’s Award during the IPC APEX Expo this week in Las Vegas. The prestigious award is presented to IPC members who have exhibited ongoing leadership in IPC and have made significant contributions of time and talent to the association and the electronics interconnect industry.
Bob Black has close to 35 years of senior executive management experience in the circuit board and semiconductor industries. He has provided leadership over the past 20 years to the industry and IPC through the IPC/EIA Surface Mount Council; the IPC Surface Mount Equipment Manufacturers Association (SMEMA) steering committee; and the IPC APEX Trade Show Subcommittee, of which he was a founding member. He is a current IPC Board member, serving a four-year term.
“IPC is one of the key structures that hold our electronics industry together. No other group represents such a wide range of participants in electronics: EMS providers, OEMs, circuit fabricators, designers, equipment manufacturers and government organizations,” Black noted, adding “Where better to invest your time than an organization so key to the past and future success of electronics? It has been a real privilege for me to be a member and participate in several IPC committees and councils over the years. I have certainly received many returns on the time I have invested in IPC activities.”
“Bob has contributed his time and expertise to IPC’s Board, technical committees, and standards development,” said IPC president and CEO Denny McGuirk. “His contributions have enriched both our organization and the industry. IPC and the entire electronic interconnect industry are fortunate to have his leadership, and we hope he continues to share his time and knowledge for many years to come.”
