Specialty Coating Systems, a business unit of Cookson Electronics (SCS; Indianapolis), has opened a full-service parylene conformal coating facility in Shanghai. The expansion into China came about with the purchase by SCS of its former service partner, Cycad Specialty Coatings Technology Company, Ltd.

The company’s Shanghai staff includes 20 experienced employees. “With the continued growth of the electronics industry in China, the new SCS operation will support the electronics, medical device, and other growing markets with custom paryl-ene coating services,” says SCS senior vice president and general manager, John Fry.

The Shanghai facility is DIN/EN/ISO 9001:2000 certified. SCS also operates coating facilities in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and has four locations in the United States.
