HumiSeal®, the leading conformal coatings solutions provider for the protection of printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies, has signed an agreement with South African-based distributor PEM Technologies to distribute its range of conformal coatings throughout Southern Africa.


Based in Gauteng, PEM Technologies has established a good reputation within the Southern African electronics industry, which will help to further strengthen HumiSeal’s presence in the region and develop its coatings business. The company will distribute HumiSeal’s entire range of coating solutions and the agreement will enable it to develop new customers as well as increase its involvement with a number of existing customers.

Steve Eglinton, managing director of PEM Technologies, summed up the agreement by saying: “I am delighted PEM Technologies has been selected as a distributor partner for HumiSeal’s suite of conformal coating solutions. I feel that the market opportunities for coating products in Southern Africa are buoyant and that the quality of the HumiSeal solutions combined with our knowledge of the market will allow us to exploit this opportunity.”

Chris Palin, European sales manager for HumiSeal Europe, added: “PEM Technologies has a good reputation and presence throughout the region which is backed by a strong engineering and technical support network. HumiSeal is in a unique position of being completely independent when it comes to coatings chemistry and with over 50 years in developing solutions, we are able to ensure that we meet the exact product requirements for our customers. There are many synergies between our companies that will allow us to effectively supply and support coating solutions throughout Southern Africa.”
