It’s the year 2004, the use of ‘lead’ in solder alloy is banned due to EU legislation, Jos Brehler, CEO of Totech Europe, starts his company with the knowledge that, by eliminating lead from the solder alloy, the moisture related issues increase dramatically due to the increase of pressure on the parts by raising the reflow temperatures for this new alloy.
As a result, components which hold too much moisture during reflow will cause defects due to Popcorning (vaporizing moisture creating micro-cracks), which can lead to failure of the entire assembly. Long story short, the solution to prevent these defects, a dry and conditioned storage environment for MSL components. The birth of the first Dry Cabinets in Europe is a fact.
The ambition to become the specialist in Dry Storage Solutions grew from early on. That is why in 2007, Totech Europe changed from being a sales company to a product development and production organization! To become even stronger in the Automated Dry storage solutions, Totech Europe joined as a proud member of the ASYS Group in 2017.
