MYDATA turnover breaks all records

Article Type: Industry news From: Soldering & Surface Mount Technology, Volume 23, Issue 1

The second quarter of 2010 has been the best quarter ever in terms of sales for the UK and Benelux operations of surface mount technology (SMT) expert MYDATA. In Q2, the company secured firm orders worth in excess of €1,300,000. This surpasses its previous best quarter – achieved before the recession – by a substantial margin.

The majority of the orders have been received from customers in the UK, including Surface Technology International, MTC, BAE Scotland, Calrec Audio, Infoteam International and Quantel; as well as Makso in Holland. Many of these orders include MYDATA’s revolutionary MY500 solder-jet printers, which offer exceptionally controllable application of solder paste while eliminating the need for costly and inconvenient stencils.

MYDATA attributes its success in part to the surge in demand for PCBs as the recession comes to an end, but notes that the change in the nature of the demand is equally significant. Today, there are big short-term fluctuations in the demand for PCBs and there are also many components in short supply, which means that substitutes frequently have to be used. As a result, SMT companies are having to be more flexible and to respond faster than ever before.
