Integrated Deposition Solutions, Inc. (IDS) and Printed Electronics, Ltd. (PEL) announce their recent agreement for distribution of the IDS product lines in the UK and Europe. The addition of the IDS aerosol printing technology expands on the portfolio of technologies presently carried by PEL.

“Partnering with IDS is a logical step for us in our strategy to provide our customer base with a broad array of technology solutions as they explore printed electronics solutions” said Neil Chilton, Managing Director at PEL. “IDS has a singular focus on aerosol technology and has a product line that has proven itself mature, reliable and production ready. Plus, the fact that the IDS products are in a much more affordable cost category gives us great confidence that we can significantly contribute to the growth IDS has already experienced”.

PEL represent multiple product lines targeted towards the rapidly growing printed electronics industry, including SIJ Technology and Neotech-AMT. The addition of the IDS aerosol products complements the range of solutions that can be offered by PEL.

IDS and its NanoJet Aerosol Print System are experiencing rapid growth. “We are seeing increasingly applications coming out of the labs and heading for production. The excellent stability in production performance that the NanoJet has proven is one of the key elements”, said Dave Keicher, Vice President at IDS. “Having PEL as a partner to support our growth in the European market is exciting. PEL has a long standing reputation in the industry and have the experience to understand customer needs.”

IDS is based in Albuquerque, New Mexico (www.idsnm.com) and has several patent positions in the field of aerosol printing. The innovative, self contained aerosol print head is unique and delivers superior print results. The NanoJet print system is available as a sub-system for integration in a broad spectrum of motion platforms or can be provided complete in a desktop configuration for laboratory and prototype uses.

Based in the UK, with a worldwide reputation for their expertise in functional printing, material deposition, inkjet and digital technologies, PEL focus on bespoke electronic solutions. Their offering includes training, product and process development along with advice on machinery, substrates and inks, which they can then supply as a complete solution.
