WILMINGTON, DE – DuPont Interconnect Solutions (ICS), a business within the Electronics & Industrial segment, will exhibit (Booth #341) at the 2023 edition of the Institute for Printed Circuits (IPC) APEX Exposition to be held in San Diego, CA from January 24 - 26, 2023.

This show is attended by North America’s largest audience engaged in electronics manufacturing. At IPC/APEX, DuPont ICS will engage with PCB fabricators, designers, OEM’s and EMS companies, showcasing its portfolio of innovative, more sustainable metallization, dry film and flexible circuit material solutions for the PCB industry. The ICS portfolio also includes thermal management and electromagnetic shielding solutions from the recently added Laird Performance Materials.

According to Erik Reddington, ICS West Commercial Leader for Metallization & Imaging, and Laminates, IC substrates are expected to be the fastest growing segment of the PCB industry in the coming years. Reddington says the changing technology in printed circuit boards is moving toward smaller vias and finer lines, along with a desire for more sustainable solutions. He says DuPont has continued to innovate and invest in new technologies to address the needs of the PCB industry, becoming the leading total solutions and systems design partner addressing signal integrity and power transmission challenges while taking care of both people and the planet.

Reddington added that DuPont has been the preferred flexible laminate solution provider for more than 40 years. He said DuPont is offering the widest array of PCB construction options which is helping to drive device speed and reliability – enabling a range of applications from 5G connectivity to autonomous vehicles.

DuPont’s recently completed $250 million Kapton® polyimide film manufacturing expansion in Circleville, Ohio is a further illustration of its commitment to expanding printed circuit board manufacturing in the United States and Europe. DuPont has joined the Printed Circuit Board Association of America (PCBAA), the consortium of U.S.- based companies that support U.S. domestic production of printed circuit boards. Reddington said DuPont is using that involvement to better under the needs of the domestic PCB industry and develop solutions to enable next generation material advancements.

During the show, Reddington will address customers and show participants with a presentation on DuPont’s 2023 commitment to the PCS industry. The remarks will be presented on Tuesday, January 24th at 2 PM and Wednesday, January 25th at 3:30 PM at the DuPont booth on the exhibition floor.
