IPC has recently released “Quality Benchmarks for the Electronics Assembly Industry,” a biennial report that compiles and analyzes survey results from over 50 assembly companies, mostly comprised of contract electronics manufacturing service (EMS) companies and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
The Hall of Fame Council, key contributors to IPC, and members from diverse backgrounds in electronics manufacturing provide strong backing and support for the IPC effort, with members of the group committed to helping in several ways.
Leading companies in the electronics manufacturing industry are highly intentional about their environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities, with climate change and energy use among the most closely scrutinized issues, an IPC analysis shows.
IPC President and CEO John Mitchell invites you to join us in Washington, D.C. for a two-day meeting focused on the opportunities and challenges for next-generation advanced packaging production, public policy updates, commercial and defense electronics industry drivers, current business environment for IC substrates and component assembly and test manufacturing.
Last week, Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Eva Maydell expressed to participants of IPC’s European Executive Forum her commitment to see a European Chips Act that would bolster the entire semiconductor ecosystem, including those segments critical to advanced packaging.
IPC is monitoring a proposal recently published by the European Commission (EC) that would prohibit products in the European Union market made with forced labour. The current proposed draft would ban both imported goods and goods made in the EU with forced labour.

The bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 is launching a new era of leadership for U.S. semiconductor manufacturing and related industries. However, rebuilding the advanced electronics industry in the U.S. will require a long-term, sustained effort, and it is about more than just chips.
The U.S. Government must actively encourage the expansion of the advanced packaging ecosystem, supply-chain partnerships, and industry-backed workforce programs if it wants to succeed in boosting the U.S semiconductor industry under the CHIPS Act.
The results are in from the recent U.S. federal election, and the impacts on the electronics manufacturing industry are likely to be mixed.
