FRANKFURT – German PCB manufacturers reported July revenue rose 0.8% year-over-year.

For the month, new orders were 2.7% below the long-term average; however, it was also the fourth-best mark in the last decade, says ZVEI PCB and Electronic Systems. The July book-to-bill ratio was 1.06, meaning 106 euros worth of orders were received for every 100 euros worth of printed circuit boards shipped.

Year to date through July, the country’s PCB industry revenue went up 15.5% compared to the same period last year. New employee hires are up 7.3% year-over-year, says ZVEI.
