Park Electrochemical Closes Dielektra's Mass Lamination Operation
April 2, 2003 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Lake Success, N.Y. -- Park Electrochemical Corp. announced that Dielektra GmbH is closing its mass lamination operation.
Dielektra GmbH is Park's advanced electronic materials business located in Cologne, Germany. Dielektra's mass lamination operation supplied higher-end mass lamination products to European circuit board manufacturers. The market for these higher-end mass lamination products in Europe has eroded to the point where the company no longer believes it is possible to operate a viable mass lamination business in Europe. In addition, the company does not believe that, at any time in the foreseeable future, the higher-end European mass lamination market will recover to the extent necessary to justify the company's conducting a mass lamination operation in Europe.
After the closure of Dielektra's mass lamination operation, Dielektra's manufacturing operations will consist exclusively of high technology treating and Dielektra's proprietary Datlam automated continuous laminate manufacturing. The company is in the process of developing new and more advanced products to be manufactured by Dielektra on its Datlam automated continuous manufacturing lines. The company believes that the products produced on Dielektra's Datlam manufacturing lines have certain unique technological capabilities that are useful to high-technology circuit board customers that produce complex high-density circuit boards.
Park Electrochemical Corp. is a leading global designer and producer of electronic materials used to fabricate complex multilayer printed circuit boards and interconnection systems. For more information, visit www.parkelectro.com and www.parknelco.com.
