ECD Signs AMS
ECD has appointed Advanced Manufacturing Services (AMS) as its representative and distribution partner in the UK.
AMS has served the electronics industry for nearly 25 years and has three locations acrossthe UK and Ireland staffed by a team of over a dozen electronics professionals.
“Electronics manufacturers are navigating a climate of supply chain and geopoliticalchallenges, demanding production expectations, and increasingly complex technology,” says ECD President Tara Fischer, “there is little room for error, and a dependable, knowledgeable, hands-onsupport team is critical for success. That is precisely what AMS offers. We are thrilled to welcome them into the ECD network.”
Historically strong in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, defense, and industrial controls, the UK electronics manufacturing market is also experiencing growth in medical devices and alternative energy technologies. Enabling these high-reliability applications requires excellent process control, efficient production protocols, and traceability.
High- performance thermal profiling tools are a vital component in ensuring repeatable, reliable, and high-yield soldering processes to secure high-reliability assemblies. Recognising the role of cutting-edge thermal profiling in today’s electronics sector, AMS believes ECD’s long-standing reputation as a soldering process authority makes it an ideal principal.
“ECD stood out to us for their innovation, product build quality and usability, and deep understanding of customer needs,” shares Richard Jones, (pictured) Founder of AMS. “ECD, however, is far more than a product company. They are a solutions partner built on a foundation of integrity, trust, and a commitment to delivering exceptional technology and award-winning support. We look forward to a long and productive relationship.”
As of July 1, AMS is ECD’s sole UK representative and distributor of its solder profiling solutions, including M.O.L.E. thermal profilers, SelectiveRIDER, OvenRIDER NL 2+, and WaveRIDER NL 2 machine quality management pallets, as well as the brand new M-VP sealed barrier for vapor phase soldering processes.
