Reading time ( words)

Insulectro, a leading distributor of materials for use in the PCB and printed electronics industries, has hired former Isola OEM sales manager Leena Gulia as a Technical Sales Manager in Insulectro’s Silicon Valley operation.

“I am pleased to announce Leena Gulia is joining our sales team in Mountain View,” Insulectro Regional Vice President of Sales Sean Redfern commented, “As a former manager focused on High Speed Digital and high performance specialty opportunities at Isola, Leena brings an extraordinary depth of laminate knowledge, that, coupled with her OEM experience, makes her a strong addition to our team.

“She’s a tireless go-getter in sales who is totally focused on helping customers find solutions. It’s the Insulectro Difference that defines our unique position in PCB and PE materials distribution,” Sean Redfern continued.

Prior to her appointment at Isola, Gulia held positions at Park Electrochemical Corporation first as a senior R&D chemist before progressing to manager of OEM marketing and then taking her post at Isola. Gulia will report to Sean Redfern.

Insulectro Vice President of Sales Ken Parent stated, “Insulectro is excited to welcome Leena to an already robust sales team in Silicon Valley that includes industry veterans Steve Piatt and John Stary. Her knowledge of laminates, specifically those used in High Speed Digital and rf/Microwave applications strengthen an already formidable team. Not exclusively focused on Isola products, Leena will promote all of the best-in-class products in our portfolio.

“All three of our sales powerhouses (Piatt, Stary, and Gulia) will be at DesignCon this week at the Santa Clara Convention Center. We invite you to drop by our booth (#414) and meet Leena. Steve and John will also look forward to greeting customers during the show,” Parent concluded.

It’s almost as if upheaval is the new normal. We often describe slow-moving but unstoppable change as moving in “geologic time.” But occasionally–like an earthquake–geology shifts suddenly. Here in my office, tracking the news of the industry, things are moving faster than geologic time, but more slowly than the jolt of an earthquake. The wave seems almost surfable, where before it seemed overwhelming. In this week’s list, we bring news from five different, high-vibration areas in our industry. If you read nothing else this week, these five items will keep you informed.

Investments, staffing, cybersecurity, and a peek into his crystal ball—John Vaughan, vice president of strategic markets at Summit Interconnect, sits down with Nolan Johnson to talk about it all. Business is good, by the way, thanks to Summit’s portfolio of military contracts, and he has sound advice to offer for smaller shops in the United States, and their real ability to make a difference in PCB fabrication.

I have always felt that automation has the potential to make a big difference in our PCB industry, especially domestically, where labor is at premium. For the past year, I have been looking for the story of how automation can and will make a significant difference in established PCB shops. I was fortunate enough to find that story in Multicircuits, located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Only a few short years ago, this company was considered a “plain vanilla” PCB fabricator holding its own in our industry; now it has suddenly assumed a true leadership position in the industry in terms of capability, technology, operations, and profitability.
