Up Close with David Schild, Executive Director, Printed Circuit Board Association of America (PCBAA)

David Schild of the PCBAA offers EMSNOW an update about the fast moving events impacting the PCB industry in the U.S. including the supply chain disruptions that are expected from the dockworkers’ strike, weather events, wars in Europe and the Mideast and so on. It’s not “if” there will be global disruptions, but “when”, David asserts, so it is even more critical to establish secure and resilient domestic supply chains that incorporate the entire electronics ecosystem. The discussion includes the recent CHIPS act award to TTM in Syracuse NY, the #1 supplier of PCBs for the defense industry, and the expected impact of next month’s congressional elections. It’s an information packed conversation that reminds us all that “Chips don’t’ float!”
