Uyemura Expands Sales and Support Resources
in Southern California Region
Uyemura USA is pleased to announce that
Paramount USA, a prominent supplier of
primarily laminate and prepreg products,
will represent Uyemura PCB product lines in
southern California. The announcement was
made by Uyemura Director of Operations,
Don Walsh.
According to Paramount Sales Manager,
Mike Muck, “we think this is a very strategic
‘fit’ that will serve our existing customers well,
and create new opportunities for companies
who want a fully integrated solution.”
Although representing the entire Uyemura PCB product line,
Paramount will, according to Walsh, focus primarily on ENIG,
immersion silver and other final finishes, EPL acid copper,
EVF via fill coppers, electroless golds and palladiums.
Paramount will also represent micro-etchants manufactured
by MEC, and Umicore-Galvanotechnik gold processes,
two product lines available in North America exclusively
through Uyemura.
Paramount USA was founded in 1994. Its offerings include
laminates, entry and back-up products, and production materials
and films, in addition to chemistries. It also provides stock
management and product support.
Paramount USA and Uyemura are both members of IPC,
a global association serving the electronic interconnection industry.
Southern California has North America’s largest concentration of
PCB manufacturers. The world market for PCBs is projected to
top $76 billion by 2015.
 Uyemura Expands Technical Team UIC Director of Operations Don Walsh has announced
two new Tech Center appointments. Shunsaku Hoshi,
formerly with Uyemura’s Central Research labs in
Hirakata, Japan, will shortly become part of the US Tech
Center’s R&D and technical support team. Mr. Hoshi’s
specialty is copper chemistry, and his appointment
comes as interest is growing in Uyemura’s copper
products, including EPL, ETN, and EVF.
Marc DePallo, formerly with Pharmacal Research
Laboratories, a manufacturer of commercial cleaners
for biomedical research, has been brought on-board
as a chemical blender.
