LPKF introduces Seal of Approval
DGAP-News: LPKF Laser & Electronics AG / Key word(s): Miscellaneous 24.07.2014 / 09:27 --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Authorized LDS Manufacturers" to be listed on corporate Website Garbsen, Germany, 24 July 2014 - Effective immediately, users of Laser Direct Structuring technology (LDS) will receive a seal of approval from the laser specialists in Germany. In doing so, LPKF aims to further increase the quality of its LDS process and protect end customers from product pirates. With LPKF's Laser Direct Structuring systems, circuit tracks can be im-printed directly onto three-dimensional plastic components. This saves space and weight, making it particularly suited to the manufacture of components for small mobile end devices such as smartphones. "We only award the "Authorized LDS Manufacturers" seal to clients who fulfill our high quality standards and who have proven that they carry out production exclusively according to our patented process," declared LPKF board chairman Dr. Ingo Bretthauer. The seal guarantees a high technological standard and primarily serves to ensure that quality standards are met for LPKF's end customers, among which are reputable smartphone manufacturers. With the certification, manufacturers additionally obtain the right to feature the quality seal 'Authentic LDS Parts' on outer packaging. LPKF has ensured transparency where the quality assurance offensive is concerned: The names of the Authorized LDS Partners have been published on the LPKF website (www.lpkf.com/authorized-lds-manufacturer). Dr. Ingo Bretthauer: "This will allow all end customers to quickly and easily check if their suppliers are working with high-quality LPKF technology." LDS systems are an important growth driver for LPKF and have shown a very good order intake in recent months. Technological know-how that is "made in Germany", which is precisely what LPKF offers, continues to remain highly attractive to manufacturers overseas. Companies that purchase machines from German manufacturers or which use their high-caliber technology expect increased quality and productivity. LPKF supports this phenomenon by continually improving and upgrading its technologies. This benefits both users and end customers.
