Construction of a new state-of-the-art facility for Vitronics Soltec has begun in Oosterhout, the Netherlands, not far from the company's present location (Plate 4). The move was prompted by the company's continued growth and need for additional manufacturing, R&D and training facilities. Even though the electronics manufacturing industry has been in a fairly deep recession since the mid-2001, Vitronics Soltec has been growing its global market share. The new facility will mark the fourth location for the company since it was founded in 1916 in Amsterdam.

The planned expansion is in part due to the introduction and ensuing popularity of Vitronics Soltec's Selective Soldering Platform. Joining the company's product line as the "third tier" – after wave and reflow soldering – the successful new product line has increased the company's market share worldwide and necessitated a 60 per cent space increase in the Oosterhout facility. Projected move-in is 4th quarter 2003.
