Assembléon America president Mike Buscher was nominated as vice
chairman. Buscher is a past chairman of the IPC SMEMA Council and has
spent 30 years in electronics automation. Buscher has been on the board
since 2001 and is a member of the Government Relations committee.
Coretec chief executive Paul Langston was nominated for secretary/treasurer. Langston, a second-generation PCB shop executive, has been a director since 2003. Current directors who are re-nominated include IMI president Peter Bigelow, a director for six of the past eight years; Electrochemicals vice president of marketing and strategic development Mike Carano, a director since 2004; Nu Visions Manufacturing president and CEO Steve Pudles, a director since 2001; OneSource Group CEO Nilesh Naik, a director since 2002. First-time nominees include Micro Dynamics CEO Michael Brown; Hunter Technology president Joe O’Neil; CTS Electronics Manufacturing Solutions president Don Schroeder; Dover Technologies president and chief executive Dave Van Loan; Parlex Corp., Shanghai president and CEO Alan Wong. Nominees were chosen by current directors Peter Murphy, Herring, Bob Ferguson, Gerhard Meese, Steve Wohlgemuth, and IPC president Denny McGuirk. Directors who will remain on the board include Murphy, investment banker Jack Calderon, Speedline president Pierre de Villemejane, TTM COO Shane Whiteside and Flextronics vice president Sammy Yi. Former chairs Jim Donaghy and Ron Underwood remain as ex officio directors. The makeup of the board continues to change. The current slate, excluding ex officio, is comprised of six candidates from EMS companies, five from fabricators, five from suppliers, and two (Calderon, McGuirk) from “other.” In 2001, by comparison, the board was made up of four EMS representatives, 10 fabricators and two suppliers, plus McGuirk. Through October, IPC membership was made up of 18.3% EMS companies, 13.6% PCB fabricators, 33.6% OEMs and 25.9% suppliers. The remainder were “other.”
