Colonial Assembly and Design, a wholly owned subsidiary of Zentech Manufacturing, recently partnered with NIMS (National Institute for Metalworking Skills) to allow filming onsite for a promotional video on the significance of advanced manufacturing as an excellent civilian career choice for veterans. 

A recent blog post from DfR Solutions outlines the significance of design for reliability in the electronics industry. Sherlock Automated Design Analysis, a software program mentioned in the article, is a program Zentech has had great success in utilizing.

On May 4, Zentech's Matt Turpin and other senior executives from leading electronics manufacturing companies, all members of IPC — Association Connecting Electronics Industries®, gathered in Washington, D.C. for IMPACT Washington, D.C. 2017 to advocate for a pro-growth, pro-advanced-manufacturing policy agenda.  

RMI, Regional Manufacturing Institute of Maryland, is a non-profit association representing the interests of manufacturers statewide - providing programs, services and advocacy. More specifically RMI assists in meeting workforce needs, facilitates mentoring programs among manufacturers, and educates policy makers on the significance of manufacturing on Maryland's economy.  

Zentech Manufacturing, Inc., the Pentagon region’s premiere electronics contract manufacturing (CM) and contract engineering services provider, with locations in Baltimore, Md. and Fredericksburg, Va, is reviewing available sites in Baltimore, Anne Arundel, Howard county and Virginia with a final site selection imminent.

Zentech's VP of Engineering Services, Mike Brown, was interviewed by Judy Warner, Director of Community Engagement of Altium, and offers this advice: Stay Hungry, Keep Growing, Nurture Relationships.

DfR Solutions Blog posted an interesting article recently regarding the significance of Digital Image Correlation and how this process benefits electronic device manufacturers.

DIC is an optical method used to measure displacements and deformation. Specimens are prepared with a contrasting speckle pattern that can be tracked optically over time as the specimen rigidly moves and deforms.

The Governor's Workforce Development Board (GWDB) has named Zentech's President and CEO, Matt Turpin, as its Taskforce Chair of Advanced Manufacturing. 

In contract manufacturing, the status quo is no longer an option. If your product requires high complexity/high-reliability circuit card assemblies, making sure your CM partner is going "above and beyond" to mitigate your risks at the highest levels possible is crucial. There's far too much at stake--such as time, money, market share and, in the case of mil/aero applications, even human lives. At Zentech, that drives us to maintain the highest levels of certification available and to practice strict adherence to industry standards...and then we take it up a notch.

Zentech continues to strive to meet the electronics industry's ever changing technological demands by implementing mid-board copper solutions. A recent article on electronicdesign.com outlines these challenges.
