EPAC<\/a>\u00a0is an electronic contract manufacturer located in Weert, The Netherlands. This year EPAC realizes a growth of 40% compared to last year. A Key factor of EPAC is their \u201cflexible attitude\u201d without concessions on quality. The outcome of this is the need for more capacity in placing SMD components. Therefore,\u00a0SMANS NV<\/a>\u00a0has installed the second Pick & Place machine in three years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pick & Place machines crucial to growth<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Three years ago, SMANS NV installed the first P&P machine: a brand new\u00a0Hanwha SM482 flexible mounter<\/a>. This was the most logical investment to be able to maintain handling the minimization of components like 01005. This wasn\u00b4t in the specs 15 years ago, when SMANS NV delivered and installed the P&P Samsung CP40, which is still in full operation mode today. In order to maintain the growth and keep control of the flexibility and quality, EPAC also invested in a new screen printer, wave soldering and AOI system.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Second Pick & Place machine to stay flexible<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The continuous growth this year led to an investment in another P&P machine. After scanning the market, SMANS NV was chosen again to supply a Hanwha SM482 flexible mounter. According to Arno Boot, the owner of EPAC: \u201cIt was a logical decision. Our operators enjoy working with the Hanwha machines on a daily basis. They really know their way around the machine.\u201d Arno continues: \u201cAnother plus is the cooperation with SMANS NV. They are professionals with a human attitude and therefore very pleasant to do business with.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

EPAC\u2019s future<\/strong><\/h2>\n

EPAC has set a sharply outlined course of continuous growth for the coming years. New investments in upgrading their process and capacity are realistic. SMANS NV is ready for the challenge.
\nEPAC has already made the first step into the set direction by investing in highly technical equipment like the Hanwha SM482 flexible mounter.<\/p>\n
