PRIDE Industries Invests in Kurtz Ersa POWERFLOW Wave Soldering System to Expand High-Reliability Electronics Manufacturing Capabilities

PRIDE Industries, a leader in inclusive and high-quality contract electronics manufacturing services, has added a Kurtz Ersa POWERFLOW wave soldering system to its production floor. This strategic equipment upgrade expands PRIDE’s capacity to deliver high-reliability through-hole and mixed-technology assemblies for customers in aerospace, medical, industrial, and defense sectors.

The POWERFLOW system from Kurtz Ersa, a global leader in soldering technology, is known for its modular design, nitrogen-based processing, and precise control systems that ensure exceptional solder joint quality and consistent performance. With high-volume throughput and advanced energy-saving features, the system is engineered to support the demands of modern, complex PCB assembly.

“Adding the Kurtz Ersa POWERFLOW allows us to take on more technically demanding builds and maintain the high standards our customers expect,” said Andrew Williams, Director Of Product Engagement at PRIDE Industries. “It also supports our goal of growing advanced manufacturing capabilities while creating meaningful career pathways for people with disabilities.”

This new wave soldering line enhances PRIDE Industries’ already robust electronics manufacturing services, which include SMT, box build, product testing, and turnkey assembly. The POWERFLOW will support production of IPC Class 3 assemblies and help meet the rigorous quality expectations of regulated industries.
