GUADALAJARA, MEXICO -- A subsidiary of FCT Companies has opened a state-of-the-art stencils manufacturing facility here, its first manufacturing site in the region.

FCT Mexico's 13,000 sq. ft. plant facility will provide stencils and stencil coatings, and local support and delivery to the SMT market.

“FCT’s investment in this facility now offers customers in the Mexican region more immediate access to our advanced products and processes,” said Brent Nolan, vice president of FCT. “FCT’s understanding of material behavior and stencil performance for today’s miniaturized assemblies is exceptional and our approach is holistic. Integrating stencil manufacturing, transfer efficiency-enhancing stencil coatings and next-generation solder materials provides a comprehensive solution for today’s increasingly challenging printing applications.”

The company's Fine-Line Stencil unit will oversee stencil manufacturing at the site, and products will include stainless steel mesh-mounted stencils, foils, fine-grain stainless steel stencils and nickel blanks.

FCT Mexico sales director Sergio Juarez said, “Customers in Mexico are very excited about the addition of FCT’s full-service technical center in this region. Not only can they source product more quickly, but they will also have the opportunity to participate in process technology days, leverage the expertise of our team and utilize the facility for development projects.”
