Initial feedback has indicated that DEK's recent Northern German Stencil Day in Kassel - aimed at customers and prospects in Northern Germany - was a success, with delegates responding positively to the series of presentations from leading industry representatives. Held on 12th October, the event schedule was specifically designed to engage the current demand for DEK's range of stencil technologies. The programme of informative presentation and discussion centred on subjects such as through hole reflow, CAD design rules and CAD preview, stencil systems and PumpPrint.

The subject of lead-free technology was also popular among delegates, most of whom were preparing to meet the 2006 lead-free deadline.

'The stencil day was extremely successful from the point of view of both DEK and our customer base in Northern Germany', explains DEK's Sales Manager for Germany, Christopher Sturmer.

'The event was a great opportunity for us to meet with customers interested in benefiting from DEK's lead in innovative stencil technologies'.

'In addition, the Stencil Day proved to be an ideal forum for customers to take advantage of our industry knowledge-base to obtain advice on topical market issues such as lead-free'.

'As a result, we are keen to build on this success and are planning to hold a further eight stencil days throughout Germany in 2006'.

Official statistics revealed that the event hosted a diverse range of participants from 11 different companies.

Of the existing customers present, three who were not currently using VectorGuard expressed interest in conducting a trial of the technology.

In line with DEK's belief in the importance of industry partnerships to promote leading-edge technologies, other event participants included component manufacturer Phoenix Contact and PCB manufacturer Ruwel.

'Initial attendee feedback has been extremely positive and we look forward to holding similar events in the future, as DEK stencil technologies continue to evolve and expand into new areas', concludes Sturmer.
