SMTA Offers Market Research on Electronics

Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA) members will now have extensive access to Frost & Sullivan’s in-depth analyses and strategic information for the electronics manufacturing industry.

SAN JOSE, CASurface Mount Technology Association (SMTA) members will now have extensive access to Frost & Sullivan’s in-depth analyses and strategic information for the electronics manufacturing industry.

Frost & Sullivan reached an agreement with SMTA to make available information regarding research on specific surface mount technology equipment markets worldwide. Frost & Sullivan conducts firsthand market research and produces targeted studies that identify technology developments, track pricing trends and assess competitive initiatives.

"For individual companies, it is often too costly and time-consuming to acquire up-to-the-minute research on particular equipment markets," says Ken Gilleo, SMTA vice president of technical programs and general technologist of Cookson Electronics. "Working with Frost & Sullivan will enable SMTA to acquire that information more efficiently and cost-effectively for our member companies."

The ASSEMBLY Show South

ASSEMBLY is thrilled to return to the Music City Center in Nashville, TN for The ASSEMBLY Show SOUTH on May 1-2, 2024. This is a booming time for manufacturing and the U.S. South is right in the heart of the action. According to ASSEMBLY’s most recent annual capital spending survey, the South is projected to account for 31 percent of total spending this year, marking the fifth straight year this region has accounted for at least 30 percent of capital spending in the U.S.

In this session, manufacturers will learn how Quality function deployment (QFD) can transform consumers’ qualitative demands into quantitative parameters that will shape the design of their product and, ultimately, their manufacturing process.
