Press Releases
By integrating the company, which was founded in 1990 and has around 130 employees at its site in Dresden, Cicor Group is specifically expanding its Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) business in Germany and becoming an even more important provider in Europe's largest market for sophisticated electronics.
The integration into the EMS division of the Cicor Group opens up new opportunities for the customers of the former SMT Elektronik as well as of the Cicor Group.
Complementary technologies and synergies in materiel sourcing will result in a broader range of services for them with immediate effect.
The site in Dresden and the Cicor company RHe Microsystems GmbH from Radeberg, which is only a few minutes away, are managed as one organizational unit.

Indium Corporation’s Miloš Lazić, product development specialist, will share his industry insight on the next generation of metal thermal interface materials (TIMs) during ThermalLive™, to be held virtually, Oct. 18-19.
For many years, metals have been used as TIMs in the industry. Due to their high reliability and high thermal conductivity, the metal TIMs have been great solutions, especially for the most challenging applications. Thermal conductivity and interfacial resistance are the most important properties of a TIM. One of the biggest obstacles for using metal TIMs in applications is the interfacial resistance. Most of the current metal TIMs are quite stiff and require pressure to form seamless connection between materials and surfacing, to lower interfacial resistance. With devices becoming smaller, consuming more power, and producing more heat, finding the right TIM becomes one of the most critical steps in any application.
In The Next Generation of Metal Thermal Interface Materials – Liquid Metal Pastes, Lazić will discuss the development—and advantages—of liquid metal pastes (LMPs). LMPs provide an enhanced metal TIM solution that combines high thermal conductivity and lower interfacial resistance, compared to common metal TIM options in the market. Furthermore, it offers additional benefit as it is liquid metal in nature but better performing: it allows low and controlled bondline thickness, can be applied by jetting or dispensing, and a higher viscosity that survives pressure without leaking.
Lazić provides technical support, including guidance and recommendations to customers related to process steps, equipment, techniques, and materials. In addition, he delivers technical training to staff and industry partners. Lazić attended the University of Nis, School of Electronic Engineering, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and master’s degree (M. Eng.) in electronic engineering. Lazić is a founder of the non-profit organization “Urban Youth Forum,” which encourages students to plan, develop, and execute projects involving environmental protection through the recycling of electronic waste.

DALLAS, TX ― September 2022 ― XDry Corp., a leading supplier of humidity-controlled storage cabinets for electronic manufacturing, laboratories and preservation, will exhibit at the SMTA Long Island Expo & Tech Forum with its representative PIT Equipment Services. The event is scheduled to take place Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2022 at the Marriott Melville in New York.
XDry and PIT will present the company’s line of humidity-controlled cabinets designed to displace moisture from multiple substrates, materials and mediums. As a result, XDry cabinets rapidly return the RH level automatically to the desired set point on the LED control.
The synthetic regenerating desiccant for XDry storage cabinets has a lifespan of up to 10 years, creating a maintenance-free system with an operating cost of just pennies a day.
XDry has been providing humidity-controlled storage cabinets for more than 15 years. The high efficiency desiccant drying cabinets are suitable for many differing applications encompassing electronics, laboratory, aerospace and any other application requiring low controllable humidity storage.
XDry’s cabinet environment can be maintained from ambient to 1% RH, providing constant and stable storage at precisely the required RH level. XDry storage cabinets satisfy standards such as IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033 and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020.
Don Dennison of PIT represents XDry humidity-controlled storage cabinets in Southeastern New York, New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania.
XDry cabinets are the perfect solution for printed circuit board and moisture sensitive component storage. For more information, visit www.XDry.com.
Danutek, daughter company of Altus Group, a principal distributor and service provider in the SMT manufacturing industry is pleased to announce that Solderstar, a technology leader in the design and manufacture of thermal profiling systems, will be joining the supplier portfolio.
Working with some of the most innovative suppliers in the industry, Solderstar is another feather in the cap for Danutek who strive to ensure they provide the very best technologies and equipment to their customers throughout Eastern Europe.
Marian Gavrilia, General Manager, Danutek said: ‘’It’s great to bring Solderstar into our portfolio. We have always worked with the best reflow providers, and our customers, without exception all require top-notch profilers to ensure their quality of output through a critical stage of the manufacturing process. That is exactly what Solderstar offers.”
Chris Williams, Solderstar Business Development Manager, said: ‘’I am very pleased to be able to announce the partnership with Danutek, a real leader in equipment distribution in Europe and a company with an already impressive range of suppliers.
“We are very confident with our technologies' ability and the value they offer to users. With a new partner like Danutek supporting our line, we look forward to expanding our customer pool further.’’
Marian concluded: “We are regular users of the Solderstar’s profiling systems to support our routine maintenance and machine implementations. This means we see daily how high their quality is and the value they can bring to our partners. Now that Danutek is the principal partner, we have the privilege of allowing all our customers the opportunity to use Solderstar’s thermal profiling solutions as well.”
