13-04-2015

Wilson Process Systems (WPS), is participating in the Southern Manufacturing show to promote its new large format surface mount manufacturing facilities for PCBs up to 3m x 1.3m. Visitors to the WPS stand can discuss manufacturing requirements with experts offering in excess of 100 years UK production experience. “Southern Manufacturing comes at a time when the UK electronics manufacturing sector is recovering,” said Nick Jones, Sales Director. “WPS has invested extensively in the latest production equipment over the last year, putting us in a strong position to offer new customers a professional, flexible and competitive alternative to off-shore manufacturing. We look forward to discussing the diverse range of manufacturing requirements with new and existing customers.” The upgraded WPS surface mount line can manufacture boards up to 3m x 1.3m, for any application including the growing opportunity in retail displays, LED lighting and digital signage. It is the first line in the country that can manufacture such long boards fully automatically, including the critical screen printing stage. The line can also be used to manufacture boards of more standard dimensions. The investment in 2013 increases WPS assembly capacity to 140,000 components per hour. Southern Manufacturing is the UK's largest exhibition for electronics production, sourcing and subcontracting, providing the first opportunity for professionals in the UK electronics industry to source new services, components, technology and equipment in 2014.The forthcoming event will showcase a highly comprehensive and diverse range of exhibiting companies all under one roof.
