The three medium-sized companies want to concentrate their soldering competences through a free technology cooperation. The aim is to provide users with better advice and support.

For Matthias Fehrenbach, the managing director of Eutect GmbH, this is a logical step in the company's development: "We are registering a steady increase in the area of process evaluation. Within the scope of this, we are testing various selective soldering processes in order to produce customer-specific assemblies. Fluxes as well as the solders are crucial because recommendations are expected from us in this context".

Self-made products adapt perfectly to the soldering task

With the two partners, Eutect was able to set up a comprehensive consultancy service regarding the best flux/brazing alloy combination, the company continues. All three specialists also manufacture their products themselves, which facilitates the exchange of information. "Together we are also able to combine new solder alloys, which are matched to the customer's product, with the right flux. This added value was convincing for me, because the customer receives everything from one source," says Fehrenbach.

Diagnostic know-how, laboratory systems and pilot facility are ready for new developments

"No matter how high the need for support on the part of the customer is, we can provide targeted answers and combine our knowledge with technical possibilities. This ranges from simple process optimization to new developments in fluxes, solders and soldering processes," notes Tobias Patzig, authorized signatory of Feinhütte Halsbrücke GmbH.

Markus Geßner, Marketing and Sales Manager at Emil Otto adds: "From our point of view, all this is only an advantage. Because on the plant side, working with Eutect means working very intensively on soldering processes beyond the standards due to its evaluation activities, and thus repeatedly encountering innovation potential.

Eutect GmbH's pilot plant station, Emil Otto's chemical laboratory and Feinhütte's diagnostics in the field of solder bath management and solder bath analysis can be called upon for customer projects.
