Tapco Circuit Supply Adds Airtech to Roster
Airtech release films to be distributed nationally
PLYMOUTH, Minn., April 18, 2005— With the March 2005 acquisition of EIS/Circuit Supply, Tapco Circuit Supply has added Airtech release films to its roster of product lines. The line will take the place of Pacothane products, effective May 2. Tapco Circuit Supply will have Pacothane stock available for some time after that date, however.
“Tapco represented Pacothane for 20 years, and it is with some sadness that we chose to end a relationship with a good vendor,” says Todd Palmer, senior vice president sales and marketing at Tapco Circuit Supply. “We are very excited about our future with Airtech and look forward to offering our customers the excellent service they have come to expect from Tapco.”
Tapco will distribute Airtech’s PCB Division products, including the recently released DAHLAR 9301B. The release film is designed to provide easy release from surfaces while still providing protection to improve production yields. It is produced using co-extrusion, multilayer, manufacturing technologies that allow for high performance.
