“Remploy Electronics has embarked on an investment programme to add lead-free capability to its five manufacturing sites in the coming year. “We have got a lead-free wave solder machine coming into the Bolton site this week,” Aled Williams, who heads RoHS compliance at Remploy, told Electronics Weekly. The number of sites and its eclectic mix of customers makes the contract manufacturer’s move to RoHS-compliance complex. The firm’s Barking factory will get its lead-free wave solder machine early next year. “We have to live within our financial means, and Barking’s major customer does not have to be RoHS-compliant,” said Williams.” Source: electronicsweekly.com
