President Tetsuro Nishimura stated, �It is indeed an honor to be recognized by Reed China for the success of SN100C. However, I must thank all of the users and our global partners that have had confidence in Nihon Superior and in SN100C as a high-reliability lead-free solder. Our goal is to understand the customer's problems and deliver high-quality products to resolve them. We have worked hard over the last 10 years proving the benefits of SN100C to achieve this goal and are pleased to celebrate the success of SN100C.�
In 1999, Tetsuro Nishimura, President of Nihon Superior Co. Ltd., invented a revolutionary tin-copper-nickel-germanium alloy � SN100C. Ten years later, the material has grown and succeeded throughout the world to become one of the global industry's most popular lead-free wave soldering alloys. Although developed initially to address the need for an economical wave solder, it has since been found that its properties also make SN100C an ideal choice for reflow and hand soldering as well as spheres for the attachment of area-array packages.
Nihon Superior was founded in 1966 when it began marketing unique flux products imported from the US. Since then, the company has made its mark by developing its own soldering materials and supplying them to the electronics industry. On the basis of its expertise in these technologies, Nihon Superior has developed a global business, establishing manufacturing and sales centers in Asia and forming business partnerships with companies in Europe, America and Asia.
