Up Close with David Schild, Executive Director, PCBAA

David Schild, Executive Director of the Printed Circuit Board Association of America (PCBAA) discusses the latest on Congress’ intent to rebuild a strong industrial defense manufacturing base, and how critical PCBs are to that capability. He updates EMSNOW on what passing the Omnibus Funding Bill means for the industry and where the money is going. PCBAA members represent the entire PCB value chain, and the Association drives the effort to promote the entire industry, because a healthy commercial base is critical to defense. He paints a picture of what the future of the PCB industry in the U.S. will look like — not the same for every vertical, but a more resilient supply chain for critical electronics like defense, infrastructure, medical equipment and so on. It’s a must-view for those following the consequences of this ever-changing development.
