INSULECTRO TO DISTRIBUTE TADCO ALLOY TOOLING PRODUCTS
Insulectro has announced it will distribute TADCO alloy tooling products and accessories effective immediately.

“Today we are announcing Insulectro will begin distributing TADCO products in North America,” Insulectro Director of Product Management Michelle Walsh commented, “The addition of TADCO’s lamination tooling and separator plates is a welcome addition to our product portfolio.”

For over 40 years, TADCO has been a leader in the development and manufacture of the highest quality exclusive alloy tooling and accessories. TADCO works with manufacturers to produce increasingly complex multilayer printed circuit boards and high-tech plastic cards. 

TADCO President Kimberly Widner expressed her excitement, “TADCO is pleased to be joining the Insulectro materials family. Both of our companies have been at the forefront of modern electronics for decades. We look forward to providing top notch lamination products and services to a wider base of PCB fabricators.”

Patrick Widner, TADCO Vice President added, “Insulectro is the gold standard for PCB materials distribution throughout North America. A keen part of Insulectro’s advantage is the strategic placement of its 11 stocking locations. Materials needed every day by fabricators is always close by.”
“Expect to hear more from us about TADCO and its excellent product line,” Insulectro Product Manager for TADCO Joe Bevan concluded, “In addition to lamination and separator plates, TADCO offers tooling maintenance products like pins, bushings, cleaners, and release agents. Everything you need to build better boards.”
