Menlo Park, CA - OK International has hired Paul Brackell as global product manager for conduction soldering and array package rework. Brackell has already initiated a worldwide program aimed at supporting users of conduction and convection soldering and rework equipment as they make their final transition to lead-free production.
He currently heads an international team, including two market development managers, a product support manager for conduction and convection soldering products and an application engineering specialist.
Brackell explained: "The 2006 deadline for lead-free production has led the market to re-evaluate its production processes and capabilities. From a product perspective, our soldering technology delivers the thermal performance customers need for lead-free, right now, and we are also in the process of launching new products targeting lead-free rework."
