“Contemporary Controls’ manufacturing facility in Suzhou, China has transitioned to lead-free operation as specified by the European Union’s RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive on chemical substances. Contemporary Controls (Suzhou) Co. Ltd (CCC) has eliminated the use of lead in their equipment, well before the time the directive goes into effect in July 1, 2006. Plant Manager Basile Waite says significant changes in materials and processes were accomplished to offer products and solutions to meet their customers’ requirements. ”The steps taken during this period ensured that the quality our customers have come to known wasn’t lost in the process,” says Waite. “Our manufacturing personnel received skilled training on all new equipment and procedures.”” Source: pcb007.com
