(San Diego, CA -- April 9, 2004) : KIC, the leader of thermal process development and control products and winner of multiple VISION awards, has developed a web site inside China specifically for the electronic manufacturers in this growing market. The site is similar to KIC HQ‘s web site in the US, but much of the technical information and articles are translated into Chinese. www.KIC.cn also facilitates downloading of software for KIC‘s customers.

Together with KIC‘s Suzhou sales, repair and support office, this web site strengthens KIC‘s ability to support its growing customer base in the region. The web site will also act as a resource center where Chinese manufacturers can go to read a growing list of informative technical articles and papers on various thermal process issues such as the lead-free conversion, process optimization and control. This is a work in progress and will grow continuously as new information from around the world becomes available.
