How Defense Demand And HDI Capacity Are Reshaping Europe’s PCB Industry with Polytron-Print's Michael Müller

EMS@C-LEVEL · 24 Feb 2026 · 4m

What this episode covers

Michael Müller of Polytron-Print discusses how defense demand and the need for high-density interconnect (HDI) capacity are reshaping the European PCB industry. He notes that while Polytron-Print does not actively supply defense, they receive massive RFQs revealing a shortage of vetted European capacity, which drives industrial and sensor customers to seek reliable local partners. To meet this demand for complex builds with blind and buried vias, the company is doubling its blind via filling capacity, leveraging years of proven capability to win production orders over prototypes.

    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.

    407: Boards Are Like Sandwiches

    Mihir Shah, CEO of Royal Circuits and former CEO of InspectAR, explains the complex, labor-intensive manufacturing process of printed circuit boards (PCBs), detailing how they are built from the inside out using lithography and chemical etching. He discusses the consolidation of the US PCB industry, noting that high capital expenditures for equipment have driven out smaller shops, leaving a fragmented market dominated by a few large players. Shah also outlines Royal Circuits' corporate venture strategy, investing in early-stage hardware and software startups like SnapEDA and Illuminant Surgical to support the engineering community.

    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.

    The Future of PCB Manufacturing: Tariffs, Supply Chains & More

    Greg Papandrew, Managing Director of DirectPCB, discusses the impact of tariffs and supply chain shifts on PCB manufacturing, explaining why China remains the preferred source despite geopolitical tensions due to capacity and lead times. He highlights the critical importance of Design for Manufacturing (DFM), noting that designers often over-engineer boards with unnecessary sequential laminations and gold plating, which drives up costs and limits vendor options. Papandrew also addresses the challenges of export controls, proprietary data protection, and the lack of domestic US capacity to absorb offshore production, suggesting that private sector joint ventures might be necessary to scale advanced PCB production in the US.
