Uniting for Resilience: Advocacy and Strategy in Europe's EMS and PCB Industries

EMS@C-LEVEL · 1 May 2024 · 10m

What this episode covers

Xaver Feiner of Zollner and Thomas Michels of Ilfa discuss uniting Europe's PCB and EMS trade associations to advocate for industry resilience. They detail a collaborative effort involving IPC, ZVEO, and EIPC to produce a collective letter to the European Parliament and national governments. The advocates argue that supply chain fragility exposed by COVID and geopolitical tensions necessitates government subsidies, equipment support, and long-term OEM commitments to prevent the industry's collapse.

    Inside PCBAA's Fight for American Circuit Board Manufacturing

    David Schild, Executive Director of the Printed Circuit Board Association of America (PCBAA), discusses the organization's advocacy for H.R. 3597, the Protecting Circuit Boards and Substrates Act, to secure tax incentives for domestic PCB manufacturing. He highlights the critical workforce shortage, the decline of US PCB production from 30% to 4% of global output, and the strategic importance of supply chain resilience for defense OEMs like RTX (Raytheon) and commercial sectors. Schild explains how PCBAA is educating lawmakers and leveraging partnerships with states like Arizona and New York to reverse the offshoring trend driven by foreign government subsidies.

    Bonus Episode: Resilient Supply Chains for Robotics (ERF 2026)

    Claire Asher interviews Carolina Domation, Sanford Dickert, and Agatha Sua at the European Robotics Forum 2026, discussing the urgent need for resilient robotics supply chains in Europe. The guests highlight vulnerabilities in sourcing critical components like PLCs and motors, advocating for strategic reindustrialization, dual-sourcing, and government-backed demand to secure European technological sovereignty. They argue that Europe must shift from funding isolated pilots to supporting scalable integrators and certified deployment networks to compete with US and Chinese state-driven ecosystems.

    Trade Show or Conference?

    Chris Gammell of Golioth returns from Embedded World and discusses the state of electronics trade shows, contrasting the engineer-focused Embedded World with the sales-heavy Electronica and the high-speed PCB focus of DesignCon. Dave Jones and Gammell debate the viability of organizing industry events, the decline of US-based conferences, and the enduring value of physical browsing compared to webinars. They also cover the Raspberry Pi Pico W's programmable I/O features, the impact of component shortages on brand loyalty, and the closure of Zachtronics.

    What's Driving the Next Wave of Electronics Engineers?

    Paul Cooke, Director of Application Engineering at AGC Multi Materials, discusses the critical role of advanced materials in Ultra HDI (UHDI) PCB manufacturing and the challenges facing the North American electronics supply chain. He explains how AGC is developing non-reinforced, low-CTE resin systems to eliminate glass-related issues like skew and flatness problems in high-density designs. Cooke also highlights the severe workforce shortage in the industry, noting that the number of US board shops has dropped from over 2,000 to roughly 140, and argues for greater government and military investment to revitalize domestic manufacturing capacity.

    Defunding of the MEPs and How YOU Can Help Stop It: A Special Episode

    Paul Van Metre of ProShop ERP, Nick Goellner of Advanced Machine & Engineering, Meaghan Ziemba of Mavens of Manufacturing, Mike Payne of Hill Manufacturing, and Jim Mayer of The Manufacturing Connector discuss the critical threat of defunding the Manufacturing Extension Partnerships (MEPs). They highlight how these public-private partnerships support tens of thousands of small manufacturers through grants, training, and technology adoption, with specific examples from Hill Manufacturing and Advanced Machine & Engineering. The panel urges the manufacturing community to take immediate action by contacting congressional delegations, sharing personal success stories via video tools like VideoAsk, and participating in grassroots advocacy to prevent the elimination of these vital resources.
