IPC Apex Expo came to a close on March 27, completing its annual three-day run at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. The trade show, the electronics assembly industry’s largest in the US, appeared to most observers to have attracted slightly more attendees than last year’s event in San Diego, and exhibitors on the whole seemed relatively upbeat about the year ahead.
For those who count on the electronics industry for big feats, it’s been a remarkable couple of years.
Who saw this coming?
Nam Tai in late January announced it would exit the electronics manufacturing services business following the wind down of orders for LCMs at its Shenzhen facility.
