3. About IPC
• “As an association and as an industry, we have many milestones and
achievements to celebrate. On these pages, read about the vision of
the six printed circuit board manufacturers that came together to
create the Institute of Printed Circuits in the fall of 1957. Since that
day, IPC has been dedicated to removing supply chain obstacles,
creating industry standards, and supporting the advancement of the
industry.”
• “No matter what changes lay ahead, the strength of our volunteer
leadership and commitment to serve the needs of our membership
will continue to be the hallmark of IPC for many years to come.”
• David Bergman, IPC Vice President - International Relations

Intermedia, Dow Chemical USA

• Market research and statistical programs have been among IPC's
member services since the organization's founding in 1957. These
services strengthen the electronic interconnect industry by helping
member companies to excel and compete. Member companies
benefit by identifying opportunities, understanding trends and
having data that provides a solid basis for planning.
• All of these programs were created to meet the needs of all
segments of IPC's membership, including manufacturers of printed
circuit boards (PCBs), electronics manufacturing services (EMS)
companies, PCB and EMS suppliers, and original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs). IPC members drive the content of IPC’s
market research programs, which are constantly evolving to meet
