Innovative Technology, Versatile Products

Our Products

Remtec is a leading provider of thin film, thick film, and direct bond copper substrates and packaging products for the electronics industry.

Our advanced ceramic packaging technology—Plated Copper Thick Film (PCTF®)—combines standard thick films with copper plating, advanced materials, and proprietary manufacturing processes to create innovative, cost-effective solutions for electronics applications involving high power, heavy circuit density, and rigorous environmental conditions.

From our US-based manufacturing facility, Remtec designs and fabricates a versatile range of metallized products utilizing PCTF® technology. From metallized ceramic substrates and chip carriers to hermetic and non-hermetic ceramic SMT packages and other specialty components, we can offer a solution not readily achievable with either conventional thin or thick films, or co‐fired ceramics.

Remtec is an ISO 9001:2015 certified, RoHS and ITAR compliant company. Our sales and applications engineering teams deliver rapid responsiveness, short lead-times, and problem-solving support to a diverse customer base.
