As a result, data centers of all sizes can use the Green Grid's new Performance Indicator to gain the most detailed understanding possible of their cooling effectiveness, and make knowledgeable decisions to improve efficiency. Ventec International Doubles IMS Material Manufacturing Capacity Ventec International Group has doubled its B-series Insulated Metal Substrate (IMS) materials production capacity at its Jiangyin, China facility. The company has invested $2 million in leading edge production equipment that boost IMS materials production capacity 100 percent above prior levels. To meet the growing demand for high performance IMS materials that deliver an ever-increasing level of thermal performance, reliability and quality, particularly for automotive and other LED lighting and DC power conversion applications, Ventec has invested in new manufacturing equipment at its Jiangyin, China facility. Following a successful initial trial period, the latest production line, which includes a Resin Coater, automated build up, aluminum surface treating equipment, and an inline High Pot Tester, is now fully operational for mass production. Along with the significant capacity expansion, the latest investment also ensures enhanced production capability for Ventec's VT-4B family of thermally conductive IMS, which deliver an unprecedented level of thermal performance through their established ceramic-filled halogenfree dielectric technology. Multilayered constructions are made possible through resin-coated foil and resin-coated film options. Ventec's General Manager Jason Chung said the company is on track with its ambitious global growth plan which includes strategic investment in new technologies and production equipment that expand its product offerings and leverage production resources. "With the market need for ever-increasing thermal performance, Vantec's IMS Materials product pipeline and manufacturing capacity expansion are now well positioned to cost-effectively meet the needs of customers around the globe," Chung said. Carbodeon Ltd Oy Closes EUR 1.5 million Funding Round From Straightforward Capital Carbodeon Ltd Oy has closed a EUR 1.5 million funding round from Straightforward Capital, a Finnish venture capital firm. The round follows major financing already received from biotech and advanced materials sector investor Enso Ventures. Carbodeon's patented technologies offer added performance when used as additives in applications including thermal management materials, metal plating and selected polymer coating applications. The company's different grades of easy-to-use and xcost-efficient Ultra-Dispersed NanoDiamonds enable improved lifetime and conductive performance for electronic appliances, automotive parts and industrial manufacturing line components. The funding will be used to expand nanodiamond manufacturing capacity, recruit new talent and enhance customer support. Further investments in R&D will allow Carbodeon to continue to innovate and develop new products and applications. www.ElectronicsProtectionMagazine.com * Fall 2016 31 http://www.iot-west.com http://www.imaps.org http://www.americas.lteconference.com/ http://www.sae.org http://www.fabtechexpo.com http://www.iwlpc.com http://www.power-gen.com http://www.remoteexpo.com http://www.ElectronicsProtectionMagazine.com
