Dr Hitchens sums up Nexus,
“The demands on all areas of conformal coating and the processes that apply them are becoming more and more complex with the exponential growth in electronics. Couple this with the integration of other new technologies, the growing knowledge gap within companies and the lack of time to learn for most engineers and you find a very difficult situation for most users.
Nexus is here to bridge the gap.
Independent of all material and major capital equipment suppliers, our services can offer a unique perspective into conformal coating that users can tap into, as much or as little as needed. We can champion the user but also offer help to the supplier who needs to educate a rapidly growing market across the globe.”
