SIPAD Systems Inc. has brought stencil manufacturing in-house with the purchase of a Tannlin T-8 Fiber Laser. With help from the Small Business Administration, SIPAD Systems secured the funding for the laser and associated support equipment to begin stencil production in their expanded Alpharetta, Georgia, facility.

The SIPAD process used a stencil to apply paste and over the last two years SIPAD Systems has purchased on average 20-30 stencils per month. “Bringing the process in house just made sense,” said Matt Kehoe. “Faster response and cheaper prices are what keep our customers coming back. Just the money we’ll save on the shipping will help make the laser affordable.”

In addition to their own in house needs, SIPAD Systems will offer stencil manufacturing services to the local Atlanta market, as well as the Southeast US territory. “We don’t have to corner the market on stencil manufacturing to be successful. We have a strong and unique and growing core business and we believe with a few key accounts we can provide a service currently not available on a local basis.”
