Etch systems generate escalating heat loads requiring management at both silicon and system level.
Recognized on the 2025 Best Places to Work list for Cape Cod and Plymouth, Tech Etch’ s culture is arguably as fundamental to its success as its engineering capability. Rich depicts a workplace built on mutual care, where new hires are personally welcomed and long-serving employees actively boost one another up – including through an educational reimbursement program, unrestricted to job-relevant subjects.“ If that makes them a better person – if it lifts their spirit and builds them up – then as a company, we will continue to help and encourage our employees this way.”
Growth remains a priority for Tech Etch moving forward. Its newly announced 60- inch flex circuit capability opens the door to new markets, starting with medical robotics, alongside potential acquisitions to bring in additional capabilities. Yet, for Rich, commercial success takes second place to something more essential.“ Of course, we want to grow revenues and profit,” he concludes.“ But that’ s really second place to our commitment towards strengthening our culture and building one another up.” Not only has this careful balance carried Tech Etch through six decades of change already – it looks set to continue defining its next chapter. ■
