"Genesis Electronics Manufacturing, Inc. (GEM) announced plans to provide lead-free (RoHs) compliant electronic manufacturing services beginning this year. The RoHS (Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances) initiative is a requirement for electronic products shipped to the European Union by July 1, 2006. "The implementation of lead-free manufacturing processes will provide our OEM customers the ability to provide lead-free, RoHS compliant product to their respective global market places," said Scott Mauldin, VP of Operations. "This shift in materials and manufacturing methods ranks among the largest technical challenges our industry has faced in the last twenty years. GEM plans not only to change our internal processes but to provide technical assistance to our customers as they re-engineer their products to meet this requirement."" Source: EMSnow
