The assemblies will be used in Northrop's internally mounted radar countermeasures system, the AN/ALQ-135, for the F-15K fighter.

Production is expected to begin early this summer at LaBarge's Tulsa, OK, facility and is expected to continue through fall 2006. Additional orders are expected, LaBarge said in a statement.

St. Charles, ILElectra Polymers Ltd. has bought Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials’ inks business. The company will gain the Ronascreen inks and soldermask lines, as well as Durashield V42 thick copper technology filler products.
 
The acquisition, to be completed by the end of July, expands Electra’s portfolio of high-reliability coatings and gives it access to the heavy copper filler business.
 
Electra’s sales and marketing director, Shaun Tibbals, said in a release, “To remain competitive you have to put R&D effort behind your products. The Ronascreen product line has been developed over the years by leading, innovative companies such as Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials, LeaRonal, Morton, Shipley, Hoechst and now, through this acquisition, we are acquiring extensive levels of technological know-how.”
 
The acquisition involves the transfer to Electra of IP, product formulations and the existing global customer base.
Tibbals added, “While this does not give us new geographical markets, and although we already have a range of world-class soldermasks and inks for the PCB industry, it does give us access into new sectors."
