DEK has signed an exclusive OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) partner agreement with Stork Veco, Europe's leading manufacturer of electroform stencils. The companies have joined forces to develop electroformed stencils for the SMT industry and the semiconductor market. "Electroformed stencils are a niche product, and there are only a small number of manufacturers in Europe," says Michael Brianda of DEK. "With our global network of distribution centers and superior service in areas like tooling, we're able to give them the customer service they want. This agreement also means that DEK customers can now buy every type of stencil they need from one place."
