Current Situation with regard to PCB Production in the Western Part of the Former USSR

Abstract

An analysis is given of the present situation regarding PCB production in six independent states of the former USSR. The distinctive characteristics of the PCB industry under the command‐administrative system which existed until 1991 are outlined. Production capacities of PCB manufacturers and production volumes for 1989–1993 are analysed. An important feature of the market is PCB complexity. The fact that the majority of companies are equipped with domestically produced machinery creates drawbacks. The paper concludes with some proposals for action to increase the efficiency and competitiveness of printed circuit board production in the western part of the former USSR.
