Michael G. Bennett, a longtime distributor of Taiyo America’s products, died of sudden heart complications on November 21, 2015. He was 58.
Born in Fort Worth, Texas, Bennett attended Texas Wesleyan University and studied computer science. He was a member of Pi Kappa Alpha.
Bennett joined the PCB industry as a plater in 1976 during his sophomore year in college. He was a salesman, manager, and business owner in the high-tech industry for the next 29 years, and for several years he ran a manufacturing facility in Guadalajara, Mexico. He began representing Taiyo America in 2003.
He enjoyed playing the guitar, and had recently begun playing bass. He was a faithful attendee of the World Championship BBQ Goat Cook-Off in Brady, Texas. Bennett supported local theater and musicians, and he was a Texas Rangers season ticket holder.
Mike is survived by his wife Terri; their daughters Melissa and Kristen; his mother, Sally Bennett; his sister, Karen Lerew, her husband Paul, and their sons, Chase and Logan. He was looking forward to his first grandson due in March. His father, Ken Bennett preceded him in death this past July.

It’s summertime, but the industry is staying pretty busy. This week, we have news about our industry putting pressure on our elected officials to provide funding for U.S. companies under the CHIPS Act, and a counterfeit parts symposium presented by SMTA in Maryland next month. We also bring you articles about ultra HDI design and material selection, and our most recent On the Line with… podcast with Zac Elliott of Siemens.

This week has been both speedy and newsy. Of course, those two characteristics often seem to travel as a pair, don’t they? A four-day week here in the United States, accompanied by a wave of high-impact news from a wide variety of sources, would suggest that readers could be expected to spread out all over the news map. Not so much, judging from readership numbers; folks all found their highest value in the same type of news coverage. This week's list of must-reads is dominated by market reports as a result of that focused readership. On our list, we have PCB fabrication and EMS book-to-bill reports, a 10-year market forecast report, and a supply chain sentiment report. In addition, readers flocked to the EWPTE show coverage. Finally, we saw significant reader interest in the most recent podcast on sustainability in our logistical operations.

This week, our must-reads include reporting on the new PCB support legislation, now submitted to the U.S. House of Representatives; financial results from two Tier 1 manufacturers, which readers read quite thoroughly; ESG in Asia Pacific; new features from Altium; global sourcing; and a “How I got here” interview with an up and coming industry expert.
