DEK expands Stencil Manufacturing Franchise

DEK has expanded its stencil franchise through a partnership with Mexican-based equipment representative and stencil franchisee, InterLatin.

SMT & InspectionThe DEK-InterLatin Reynsoa, Mexico stencil manufacturing facility - the partners’ third operation in the Mexican region - officially opened in March of this year to serve the burgeoning Reynosa region, which is home to many EMS and OEM firms.

All DEK stencil franchise operations, though locally owned and operated, are fully supported by DEK quality standards, authorized manufacturing equipment, training and customer support. This "copy exact" approach offers customers a proven footprint that delivers repeatability in stencil manufacturing.

"Franchising the DEK stencil manufacturing methodology to partners in various regions across the Americas has effectively enabled us to expand our technology footprint, while allowing customers to manage their business locally," explains DEK Global Manager for Engineered Products, David Byrd. "It really is a win-win: superior quality, on-time delivery and technical expertise are all consistently delivered as per DEK standards, while customers enjoy the ‘down the street’ mindset that comes with a local manufacturing relationship."
