If this year's IPC APEX EXPO show held in Anaheim, California from 17 to 19 March 2026 is any indication of where this industry is headed, the future is very bright! With thousands of attendees and hundreds of exhibitors filling the floor, the energy was electric. C.A. Picard, Inc. had an outstanding presence, generating a strong wave of new leads over the three-day event. Days 1 and 2 were especially productive, featuring multiple high-priority prospects and a compelling engineering presentation that turned heads. A DE pinner machine was sold right on the show floor, and we received the largest inquiry for caul plates in over ten years, a true milestone! Our raffle was a massive hit, showcasing our newest offering, our on-site lamination audit, connecting us with some of the most exciting prospects of the entire show. The industry is surging forward with incredible momentum, and C.A. Picard, Inc. is proud to be leading the charge, offering our customers the most premium press tools for their lamination room.
