BESTProto Inc. – New Company Announcement August 15, 2006

BESTProto Inc. http://www.bestproto.net, a printed circuit board prototype and specialty small volume PCB assembly operation, announces that it has opened its doors for business. Our experienced staff welcome your PCB Prototype Assembly challenges.

Rolling Meadows, IL (PRWEB) August 21, 2006 -- BESTProto provides PCB prototype assembly services for two types of customers. For the hardware development community BESTProto will provide fast, low quantity prototype build services for Printed Circuit Board Assemblies. BGA assembly and troubleshooting as well an ability to provide circuit board modifications without a circuit board “respin” quickly is the BESTProto differentiator. For the specialty hand assembly or Micro business BESTProto will provides; specialty hand soldering capabilities, box and cable set builds, specialized box build and numerous testing capabilities.

BESTProto has access to a variety of both tin-lead and lead free assembly, test and diagnostic tools. For assembly, BESTProto has print, automated SMT placement and reflow capabilities. X-RAY, endoscopic inspection equipment complement the company’s IPC A610 inspection capabilities. In addition, BGA rework stations complement BESTProtos’ assembly capabilities.

“BESTProto is servicing the hardware development community with PCB assembly expertise and fast turnaround capability. In addition there are numerous companies requiring small volume and specialty hand builds requiring a high level of soldering and assembly expertise where outsourcing to either an overseas supplier or a highly automated EMS provider is not a good fit. BESTProto is designed to meet these specific industry needs and is not in business to be another volume assembly operation” said Bob Wettermann, president of BEST Inc., one of the partners in the new venture.

The management of the company will be led by Gary Lynch formerly of Advantest and AG Communications, both EMS providers, where he was responsible for operational management. Garth Cates, formerly of Lucent Technologies, has been active in the PCB and wire and cable harness assembly industry and has been an SMTA member, will lead the sales effort.
