Todd EichelbergerGUEST
And it cleans the beds great.
Todd EichelbergerGUEST
And because we work on PCBs as well, we use it to clean off the circuit boards, get rid of all the solder residue.
Michael BurgerGUEST
Yeah.
Todd EichelbergerGUEST
And that residue gets really sticky, so I used to just pour it on my hands, like what you do with brake clean.
John CalvinGUEST
And
speaker_2HOST
when you're talking about the channel loss, you mean the channel being like PCB traces or electrical interconnects?
John CalvinGUEST
Ideally, yes.
John CalvinGUEST
Increasingly, PCBs are being left behind in the dust.
John CalvinGUEST
But we see, you know, twin-axe-based or coaxial-based interfaces, various technologies that... break off very close to the 30s and go to the MCBs in the back of an IO system.
John CalvinGUEST
There's a couple of technologies that are flyover cables, or there's a couple other technologies that have their own name.
John CalvinGUEST
You need to, and these days you have to route liquid cool into everything and have to power delivery.
John CalvinGUEST
So power is a big portion of that.
Rico SchluterGUEST
And me in Europe, I have to speak to 27 governments and all of them have different opinions.
Rico SchluterGUEST
So really, let's say to supporting our ecosystem, we have now the CHIPEX, We have the ChipX 2.0, now they're awarding also PCB and PCBA, but before the framework is really active, we're talking about another two years, and in the meantime, nothing is happening, and I see how, let's say, the impulse here in Asia is much, much higher than in Europe.
Keith BryantHOST
Yeah, I mean, we were lucky enough yesterday evening at the networking dinner.
Keith BryantHOST
We have a presentation from the Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand, and he's talking about Siam Silicon.
Keith BryantHOST
And for me, it was so refreshing to see.
Rico SchluterGUEST
For me also.
Rico SchluterGUEST
And I have to say, I was really worried a few years ago because they already had the plans to grow in the business over here in the PCB.
Rico SchluterGUEST
And I was really afraid that, yeah, they attracting.
Alex GoreHOST
Yep.
Alex GoreHOST
So what are the components in this? Batteries, wires, PCB boards, which are basically circuits.
Alex GoreHOST
They're little mini computers, displays.
Alex GoreHOST
Housing for the whole thing.
Ankur GuptaGUEST
So that's interconnection.
Ankur GuptaGUEST
The power delivery mechanism that you decide at the package level, it translates into signal integrity issues over the PCB.
Ankur GuptaGUEST
And even outside in.
Ankur GuptaGUEST
the cooling of the entire data center and the rack, that ambient temperature, it impacts the timing closure of the chip.
Ankur GuptaGUEST
I'm just going to design the chip.
Ankur GuptaGUEST
That's an IC software.
Ankur GuptaGUEST
I'm just going to design the PCB.
Ankur GuptaGUEST
That's a PCB EDA software.
Swaek PrakitritanonGUEST
So, um, Aromax is, uh, primarily we, we originated from Thailand.
Swaek PrakitritanonGUEST
Um, my father, um, started founding the company in 1968, and primarily we have been focusing in the, um, manufacturing and supplying, distributing, providing technical support in the field of surface finishing, both industrial solution and also in electronic or, or some part of PCB fabrication processes.
Swaek PrakitritanonGUEST
And where, uh, right now we have continued to invest, uh, especially our own research development locally in Thailand in, in the past 12 years.
Swaek PrakitritanonGUEST
We have also, uh, became more regional.
Swaek PrakitritanonGUEST
We also, also now have a venture and establish, uh, our partner and our joint venture in India.
Swaek PrakitritanonGUEST
Also Indonesia, Malaysia, and a representative in China.
Swaek PrakitritanonGUEST
With this, uh, uh, expansion and establishment of PCB fabrication in Thailand, as you know, there's, uh, 50 PCB companies setting up here.
Swaek PrakitritanonGUEST
So we-- I have two hats.
Keith BryantHOST
I also overheard that
Canice ChungGUEST
the BOI is also working with the institution, the university, to establish whether it's possible to have a degree of PCB, degree of semiconductors.
Canice ChungGUEST
Oh.
Canice ChungGUEST
Which is very helpful.
Canice ChungGUEST
Yeah, that's tremendous.
Canice ChungGUEST
So once you get attracted, the young guys to run into that degree, means what? They will devote 100% of their lifetime into PCB.
Canice ChungGUEST
Yeah.
Canice ChungGUEST
I myself joined in 1991.
Panpol PrugsachantanaGUEST
and also some of the promotion that depends on the period yeah of course
Keith BryantHOST
yeah so the the BOI has been promoting semiconductor for quite a long time and now obviously they promote automotive they're promoting the PCB and also PCBA so yes the the Thai government is very strongly supporting the growth for thailand
Panpol PrugsachantanaGUEST
yes definitely yeah so one thing i would like to give the example the very very big name of the semiconductor and automotive yeah the manufacturing site yeah most of them in thailand it's because of the government plus the boi support
Keith BryantHOST
And obviously, your business, like most, I'm sure, is seeing growth at the moment.
Keith BryantHOST
Ah, no, it's good to hear.
Keith BryantHOST
I was not really aware that Thailand was this strong.
Keith BryantHOST
I knew PCB for a long time and assembly was growing, but I didn't realize you had this long semiconductor history.
Keith BryantHOST
Oh,
Pitharn OngkositGUEST
Okay.
Pitharn OngkositGUEST
KCE is a PCB manufacturer.
Pitharn OngkositGUEST
We have been in Thailand for more than 40 years.
Pitharn OngkositGUEST
Uh, we are complete vertically integrated.
Keith BryantHOST
Hi, this is Keith Bryant, Global SMT and Packaging Magazine at Tekka 26.
Keith BryantHOST
The Tekka show has brought together engineers, purchasers, salespeople, the whole supply chain for PCB manufacture.
Keith BryantHOST
and also assembly companies, equipment manufacturers for the whole wealth of the industry.
Keith BryantHOST
We have a workforce pavilion, which has brought in a lot of younger people.
