BlueRing offers high-quality laser cut stencils, paste transfer increasing nano-coatings, printing accessories, and stencil design/development services. The combined companies said they will operate facilities across three countries to ensure supply chain stability, on-time delivery, and enhanced local and global support.
The two companies said their combination ushers in “a new era of innovation and capability,” significantly expanding R&D and engineering expertise to drive advancements in stencil technology.
“The partnership with BlueRing strengthens our ability to anticipate the challenges electronics manufacturers face—before they happen,” said Brent Nolan, president and COO of StenTech. “By combining advanced technology, deep expertise, and proactive problem-solving, we ensure our customers stay ahead of the curve.”
