SLOUGH, England and DENVER, Colo. - Two leading companies in the European printed circuits board (PCB) industry, Sun Chemical Circuits and MacDermid, have joined forces in a move that will bring significant benefits to new and existing customers in the UK.
 
MacDermid, the leading supplier of speciality chemicals for PCB fabrication, will be selling soldermask inks, legend inks and ancillary products from Sun Chemical Circuits to the PCB industry.  This will provide an opportunity for both companies to open new business opportunities.
 
The distributor partnership enables both companies to improve further their service and product support through extra resourcing.  The agreement is not exclusive to either Sun Chemical or MacDermid, which will retain individual links with existing clients.
