From wafer production and IC protection to chassis and DC cord, GE Advanced Materials can provide "wing-to-wing" electrical/electronics application coverage
GE Advanced Materials is a newly organized GE business, officially formed on Jan. 1, 2004, and consisting of GE's three former materials businesses: GE Plastics, GE Silicones and GE Quartz. GE Advanced Materials, headed by President and CEO John Krenicki, and headquartered in Pittsfield, MA, is now in a position to bring together an array of proven E/E technologies and help customers develop meaningful, cost-effective product solutions. All three former GE businesses had a proven industry track record, and the combined product portfolio now offered under the GE Advanced Materials umbrella is extensive. Offerings include: quartz crucibles used to grow silicone ingots; heat-dissipating, interface-management materials to protect delicate integrated circuits (ICs); connector materials that can survive high-temperature infrared (IR) reflow soldering; silicone-based gels, coatings and encapsulants; high-performance polycarbonate and polyetherimide films; and wire coatings for plugs and direct current (DC) power cords.
