October 2005:
Stantek Electronics Ltd, feature in this weeks Gloucestershire Citizen:

To coincide with the first year anniversary of Stantek's expansion and the release of the re-designed web-site, the Gloucestershire Citizen will be doing a feature on Stantek's expansion and recent investments.

This article appeared in the business section of the Gloucestershire Citizen on 18.10.2005

Stantek completed its expansion into larger premises in November 2004 and has invested heavily in new equipment to enable them to become 'RoHS (lead free) compliant' by the time the new RoHS Directive comes in force (1st July 2006).

Stantek's Managing Director Errol Johnson says "As well as recently doubling the size of our production facilities from 2-4 thousand feet, we have made a huge investment in lead free manufacturing equipment in order to meet our clients future demands. Installing the new equipment well ahead of the deadline will also enable our manufacturing team to become fully conversant with the new technology"

The main impact of the new Directive will be to severely restrict the use of lead soldering to Ministry of Defence and Mobile applications. However, use of other traditional materials such as Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, and PBB or PBDE flame retardants will also be banned or restricted in the future.

Errol continued "We have also installed a new Juki 575 surface mount component placement machine, as well as converting one of our Blundell flow soldering machines for lead free work. Lead free manufacturing requires much higher temperatures of 240°C in order for the soldering process to work successfully, however it is a much cleaner and greener process. We aim to do everything possible to assist our clients to ensure their production is fully compliant with the new Directive!"

As well as the investment in enlarged premises and equipment, Stantek are also aiming to achieve full ISO 9000 compliance in 2006. Stantek employ a staff of 25 people at their modern, state of the art premises at Cotswold Edge Business Park in Hempstead Lane.

Stantek, continue to sponsor table tennis star Stella Davis:
Local table tennis sensation Stella Davis, 15 years old from Tuffley and pupil of St. Peters High School is sponsored by Stantek.

Our involvement with Stella has helped her represent England 15 times in the past 4 years, gaining a team gold and bronze medals and an individual silver medal.

Stella's current U18 ranking is No.24, and has represented the County at U18 and senior levels. She has been the Counties U18 champion for the past 5years as well as many other achievements.
