His vision inspires everyone as he drives incredible results with passion and enthusiasm,” Redfern commented. “He is widely known and respected throughout our industry and has contributed significantly to the strategic direction of the company.

“Ken is the first guy to get on a plane to meet a customer or supplier partner. Currently, he is crisscrossing the United States on a 30-day tour to our distribution centers meeting with customers as he goes. He knows how our industry works at every level, and he is tireless in his work to make it better,” Patrick Redfern stated.

Prior to his promotion, Parent has led both the sales and product management teams.

Redfern continued, “Our announcement today includes the upcoming retirement of Insulectro’s current Vice President of Operations Jeff Mason in February of 2022.  Jeff, a twelve-year teammate, helped bring our operational visions to life and provided insight and expertise to drive our companies forward.  He has demonstrated his drive for continuous improvement and his passion for people consistently during his time here and will be missed.”

“Jason has built a strong team that has really benefited our customers. We both share the same vision for what ‘world-class manufacturing,’ operations, and supply chain should look like for our companies,” Redfern stated. “He has the pulse on what’s happening with product availability, and understands our customers’ need to receive materials as rapidly as possible. In his new role, Jason will be able to further impact our service model. Shuppert will report to Ken Parent.”

Assisting Shuppert, Felix Martinez has been promoted to National Director of Operations overseeing Insulectro’s operations in all our branches. Martinez has demonstrated strong leadership in the Lake Forest distribution centers as well as coordinating several transitions for recent acquisitions.

INSULECTRO TO DISTRIBUTE INDUBOND® LAMINATION PRESSES FROM CHEMPLATE MATERIALS, S.L.

Insulectro, the largest distributor of materials for use in manufacture of printed circuit board and printed electronics, has announced it will distribute InduBond® lamination presses and supplies manufactured by Chemplate Materials SL of Barcelona, Spain.

“Today we are announcing Insulectro will begin distributing the complete InduBond® equipment product line in North America beginning today,” Insulectro Vice President of Sales and Product Management Ken Parent commented, “This is an exciting opportunity for us to bring these world-class presses to our customers – in particular the X-PRESS 360 lamination press which is Chemplate’s flagship offering. It is one more example of Insulectro’s laser focus on supplying our customers with the best product offerings – materials and equipment – available.”

InduBond® has long been respected for tight accuracy in registration, its lamination presses, automation (automatic loading/unloading), and its eco-friendly best practices.

InduBond® X-PRESS lamination presses utilize a different way of producing the heat required for lamination using standard pressing methods. The innovation of this technology is that it produces heat on the laminated material, and only the laminated material, of each layer of the press pack at the same time, at the same temperature level, without any thermal conduction.

That feature means the press pack heating is perfectly uniform in all directions. Consequently, all the layers of the laminates inside the press have the same temperature profile at the same time. With our induction technology, heating speed is increased, and high temperatures can be reached. Insulectro will also stock replacement parts and consumables for InduBond® equipment.

“Chemplate Materials SL looks forward to this new association with Insulectro in North America,” stated Victor Lazaro Gallego, Technical Director and InduBond® inventor at Chemplate Materials, S.L. “We find Insulectro’s innovative approach to sales and service to be a perfect match for our company’s values and products. The goal of our current strategy is the global market as a key element in the company`s growth. And that is why we want to keep innovating and providing the industry with new technologies that set us apart from our competitors and increase the knowledge and acceptance of the InduBond® commercial brand internationally.”

Chemplate Materials SL was established in 1986 in the electroplating business. Nowadays is a company focused on manufacturing equipment for registering PCB multilayers with an innovative process, covering the registry and the press process. They have developed a technology with a big growth potential and continuously upgrade it. They also sell chemical processes for electroplating and PCB manufacturing.

In 2020, IPC EXPO conferred an INNOVATION AWARD to the InduBond® X-PRESS line in the category of PCB FABRICATION for the concept in multilayer press technology of utilizing electromagnetic energy to heat stainless steel separator plates.

“Expect to hear more from us about this exciting new market opportunity for Insulectro and its customers” Ken Parent concluded, “World-class products from world-class suppliers, delivered at breakneck speed from regional distribution centers, coupled with ‘always there’ customer service – it’s all about enabling customers to build better circuits faster.”

Insulectro supplies advanced engineered materials manufactured by Isola, DuPont®, LCOA®, CAC, Inc., Pacothane, Focus Tech Chemicals, JX Nippon, TADCO, EMD Performance Materials, Shikoku, Denkai America, Industrial Brush Corporation, Kemmer, and Shur-loc.
