CIREP
CIREP has acquired a licence for Stablcor® laminate

Cirep has recently acquired a Licence from Stablcor® , a new laminate using a conductive carbon composite material. The advantages of this material are to improve thermal and dimensional characteristics of the PCB without increasing the price. It also allows an increase in the rigidity and strength of circuits boards without increase in weight. CIREP would be using this laminate in a number of its products for European customers.

CIREP
PCB Magazine : The CIREP success causes the praise of the Italian press.

On the occasion of the Nadcap accreditation obtained by CIREP, PCB Magazine recounted the 8 years of an exceptional career when the CIRE Group subsidiary in Toulouse has to adapt and face up to the essential technological developments . Its opening on the external market is also quoted as an example, as well as its capacity to innovate and precede the technical needs of its customers.

CIREP
CIREP, a subsidiary of the CIRE Group, has obtained Nadcap accreditation.
 
CIREP, a subsidiary of the CIRE Group, has joined a very small circle of PCB manufacturers accredited with Nadcap (National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program).

Delivered by the big aeronautics companies through the PRI (Performance Review Institute), this accreditation is only held currently by 3 PCB’s manufacturers worldwide, and CIREP is one of only two in Europe. It is a key reference for civilian avionics and ensures a high level of process follow-up required by the sector. It will replace multiple audits and approvals of Tier 1 aerospace companies which are currently in force, with an audit recognised by well-known aerospace equipment providers and constructors such as Boeing and Airbus.

Nadcap accreditation involves all types of Printed Circuits manufactured by CIREP, from single-sided to the most complex HDI boards including:
   - multilayers (currently up to 26 layers) in FR4 or Polyimide with multiple drilling sequences (max. 9),
   - laser HDI multilayers 3+N+3
   - laser HDI multilayers with stacked vias 4+N+4 with a BGA pitch up to 04
   - Flex-rigid boards in FR4 or Polyimide with multiple double-sided flex layers (currently 6) and laser drilling in rigid areas.

This qualification follows on from the ESA qualification already obtained by CIREP last year
