Year 2007 saw a global increase in lead-free solder use, mostly SAC. Interest in Kester’s K100LD tin/copper-based solder increased. Industries exempt from RoHS — medical, automotive, and telecom — began looking to lead-free. Kester, under ITW, realigned operations for an intimate approach to product development and support.

Our new Itasca, Ill., facility includes modern assembly equipment and our Mexico location optimized operations. In 2008, we expect growth in North American markets, particularly Mexico; and in Asia, particularly China. The transition to lead-free assembly will continue, with conversions in all regions increasing by approximately 10 percent.
