By July of 2006, new legislation regarding the Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEE) will be in effect in EU member states. North American equipment manufacturers will need to demonstrate that they abide by WEEE, RoHS and similar directives in order to remain viable in the global market. Lead free manufacturing requires changes in materials, processes and equipment, and that takes time to transition. OCM Manufacturing has taken a leadership role to ensure our small- and mid-size customers are not left behind due to non-compliance issues. Our Lead (Pb) Free Program is ahead of the curve to ensure that you can remain competitive in today’s markets.
