Over the 30 years since its founding, the Center for Interconnection Technologies (ZVE) has become the first port-of-call for any and all problems and issues related to the practical application of modern packaging technology.  Its training courses are continually revised to cover all the latest developments. In addition to its now long-standing ESA and IPC certification, the program has recently been expanded thanks to certification by AZWV and for hand soldering by Deutscher Verband für Schweißen und verwandte Verfahren e.V. (German Association for Welding and Related Processes, DVS).

The anniversary was celebrated on October 18th with more than 40 invited guests from research and the technology sector. After a brief overview of the center’s history by the ZVE Head Dr. Frank Ansorge, staff members presented ZVE’s of core services and expertise in training, simulation and soldering.
Last but not least Herr Schmeller from Sumida Components & Modules GmbH gave a guest lecture showcasing his positive experience of a cooperation project with ZVE on “Ensuring the reliability of innovative package technologies for components and modules”.
