"Dow Corning has been in existence for over 60 years and we're delighted that they approached us to become one of their key external equipment suppliers".
"The alliance benefits both companies equally, and essentially we're aiming for DEK's equipment to reach an even wider audience in mass imaging applications".
The alliance will see Dow Corning concentrating on streamlining the integration of materials and equipment used in board-level assembly and back-end packaging, and DEK was chosen because of its expertise in stencil printing, as well as its long standing relationship with Dow Corning.
"Taking the relationship of DEK and Dow Corning to a higher level will directly benefit our customers, and that's the goal".
"DEK's superior technology, having one of the truly premier application support infrastructures in the industry, the knowledge and expertise of DEK's personnel, and their commitment to innovative thinking make DEK an ideal member of our alliance", said George Toskey, Global Packaging Market Manager.
Dow Corning has signed alliances with eight other experts in their fields.
By working together, DEK and Dow Corning intend to help customers address any number of challenges - from choosing the right combination of equipment and materials for a new process to delivering turnkey production packages.
Dow Corning's Global Industry Executive Director said: "Companies need partners who understand the unique challenges they face, and who have the expertise to develop solutions that help them meet their business goals".
"This is exactly where Dow Corning's External Equipment Provider Alliance can help".
