LAUSANNE, Switzerland, April 5 -- Synova has opened a new Japanese office to provide localized sales and support for the company's water jet-guided laser systems.
Accounting for more than 40% of Synova's revenue in 2004, the Asia-Pacific region is the company's largest market, with the majority fueled by the semiconductor and electronics sectors.
Synova has also recently opened local offices in Hong Kong and Korea, and established distributor partnerships in Taiwan, China, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and India.
The small amount of nickel in SN100C modifies its behavior so that in wave soldering the resultant alloy exhibits fluidity comparable with that of traditional tin-lead solder, AIM said in a press release. The result is that excess solder drains off the joint and bridges and icicles are avoided. The nickel also provides smooth, bright and well-formed fillets, AIM said.
SN100C contains no silver or phosphorus, and is not aggressive toward copper traces and pads or stainless-steel components of soldering equipment.
The closing is part of the company's plan to reduce its workforce by 5,500 of its 47,000 workers worldwide.
Other closings announced to date are in Mount Pleasant, IA, Raleigh, NC and Salem, NH. Over 1,500 workers have been affected.
Fort Collins employs 500 full-time and 300 part-time workers.
