On the road again!

With the post-Covid SMT world finally reconnecting live !

We have all become accustomed, if not a little bored, with spending much time in ‘Virtual Meetings’ and attending webinars and other online events. That’s not to say Europlacer hasn’t adapted to these changes – we have! We like to think that our online demonstrations have become quite ‘slick’– we even managed to provide a UK customer with a full line solution without them visiting the demo facility.

However, with capital equipment sales, the online world can only take you so far when evaluating complex machinery – an online demonstration can give you a flavour of what technology may be available but does not replace the full ‘hands-on’ demo and the face-to-face contact. Meeting makes the investigations much more informative and overall enjoyable as setting close relationships and building common successes.

Indeed, as we exit this COVID era, there is a great appetite for these hands-on visits and demonstrations, and Europlacer is looking forward to a full schedule of live events, which has already started.

We kicked off in June a program of open days – starting at our French manufacturing facility in Rocheserviere, France. This is being followed up by an event at our newly opened ‘Center of Excellence’ in Phoenix, AZ, USA. In October, we will be holding an Open Day in Madrid, Spain where we will be exhibiting our ii-A3 part of the atom range, our family of four pick and place machines offering numerous possible combinations to get to deliver the highest speed though versatile SMT lines.

Alongside these Europlacer driven activities, we will be on the road again at many different premium exhibitions and looking forward to meeting you again here and there. Nepcon Asia has now been confirmed for Oct 20-22 in Shenzhen at the core of the Chinese electronics business. We will have a sizeable presence at the show showcasing iineo+ I and ii-A2 from the placement range of machines.

Early November sees the SMTA International exhibition in Minneapolis, USA, where again we will have a full complement of equipment on display. Then, we will exhibit at Productronica Munich, Germany, a truly international event, on November 16-19. We will feature a full line up of Europlacer equipment including our CFX certified atom and iineo+ range of placement machines, and EP710AVi Stencil Printer. We will also be showcasing our new ii-TAB, a fully mobile tablet solution for true real time setup and line monitoring.

2022 will start with a flurry of activity as well! In January, we will be attending the APEX exhibition in San Diego, CA, USA, which heralds the start of what we expect to be another busy year for exhibitions.
