Trackwise is a dynamic company specializing in the manufacture of length-unlimited multi-layer FPCs using Improved Harness Technology™ as well as PCBs for infrastructure antennas. The company’s excellent track record and its presence in several key markets such as automotive, aerospace, medical, defense and security have pushed Trackwise to expand its machine production lines for 2021.
In addition to its current Direct Imaging Reel-to-Reel (DI RtR) machine, Trackwise ordered two subsequent DI RtR units by Altix to meet the various demands of its worldwide customer base.
Philip Johnston, Trackwise CEO, reveals more about this investment: ‘We are pleased to have secured these additional two units from Altix as part of the next stage of expansion in our IHT division.
