SCS Expands Presence in China with Parylene Coating Facility
December 7, 2004 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Indianapolis, Ind. — Specialty Coating Systems (SCS), a business unit of Cookson Electronics, has announced the recent opening of SCS Shanghai, a full-service Parylene conformal coating facility in China. The facility will allow SCS to better serve its customers, respond to the growing demand for its specialized Parylene coating services in Asia and bring its technology to the region.
The expansion into China comes as SCS has purchased the assets of their former service partner, Cycad Specialty Coatings Technology Co. Ltd. The SCS Shanghai staff includes 20 experienced employees, led by China business manager, Lu Bo. China Assembly, also part of the Cycad group, will continue in their long-term partnership with SCS as the distributor of SCS Parylene Deposition Systems in China.
SCS senior VP and GM, John Fry, announces, "With the continued growth of the electronics industry in China, the new SCS operation will support the electronics, medical device and other growing markets with custom Parylene coating services. Under the leadership of SCS Asia business manager, Fred Fultz, and the China business manager, Lu Bo, the Shanghai site and future sites in China further strengthen SCS' capabilities to serve our customers worldwide."
SCS brings more than 30 years of Parylene coating service experience and technology to Asia. Parylene is applied with a vapor deposition polymerization process, which results in an ultra-thin, pinhole-free conformal coating. SCS Parylene is biocompatible and offers excellent moisture, chemical and dielectric barrier properties. Parylene applications include, but are not limited to, circuit boards, ferrite cores, electronic components, medical devices, medical device components and rubber parts in the electronics, automotive, military and medical device industries.
The SCS Shanghai facility is DIN EN ISO 9001:2000-certified. SCS Shanghai joins SCS Singapore, Parylene Japan K.K. and Parylene Korea in providing SCS Parylene coating services to Asia. SCS also operates coating facilities in the U.K., Ireland and four facilities in the U.S.
