Alec Babiarz Accepts Invitation to Join IPC's APEX 2003 Committee

Carlsbad, CA - Asymtek's Senior Vice President, Alec Babiarz, has accepted the invitation to join IPC's steering committee for APEX 2003. APEX is the largest U.S. electronics assembly tradeshow and has become a premier conference and exhibition for electronics assemblers and users. As a committee member, Babiarz will contribute his more than 20 years of electronics assembly experience to create perhaps the finest technical exhibition this industry will experience in 2003.

"APEX is a very important show for our industry," explained Babiarz. "Through extraordinary key note speakers, technical panel discussions, and educational seminars, the IPC has created a forum where attendees are able to learn from each other, which facilitates technological innovation. I am honored to be a part of the committee."

Babiarz is Senior Vice President of Asymtek and Vice President of New Business Development for Nordson Corporation. One of the founders of Asymtek, Babiarz is co-developer in 3 patents on equipment and apparatus for fluid dispensing and has written over 16 articles and technical papers on fluid dispensing. At Asymtek, he actively participates in new product development and is responsible for worldwide business development, sales, and marketing. Babiarz has a BSE from Arizona State University and two master's degrees (MSME and MSEE) from Stanford University. Prior to Asymtek, he was project manager at Hewlett-Packard, working on ink jet technology for printers and plotters.

APEX, which opened in 2000, was organized by IPC's SMEMA Council in response to an industry need for a trade show that is cost-effective for exhibitors and highly focused on the products and technology of the electronics assembly industry. This approach, coupled with a premier conference program that is organized by the industry, delivers an attractive package to exhibition visitors. APEX features all segments of the electronics assembly industry, from bare boards to tested assemblies, and is the only show in North America that showcases machinery from every major pick-and-place equipment manufacturer.

Celebrating 20 years of success in 2003, Asymtek supplies award-winning automated fluid dispensing systems to customers worldwide. Specializing in semiconductor, surface mount, and electronics packaging applications, they are committed to provide total dispensing solutions and local support.
