GlobalSpec (www.globalspec.com), the leading specialized search engine and online resource for engineers and technical buyers, announced on October 12 an expanded partnership with PennWell Corporation (www.pennwell.com), a business-to-business media company providing authoritative print and online publications across multiple industries.
Visitors to the online versions of Surface Mount Technology, Advanced Packaging and Connector Specifier magazines now have direct access to SpecSearch, GlobalSpec's powerful search technology, to search by detailed specification for products and services representing more than 75 million parts in 1 200 000 product families from more than 11 500 supplier catalogues in such areas as printed circuit board (PCB), fabrication services, electronic manufacturing services (EMS), automated test equipment (ATE), semiconductors, clean rooms, imaging stations, connectors, cable assemblies and interconnect products.
Scott Virkler, GlobalSpec's Vice President of Business Development, said that the expansion of SpecSearch to additional PennWell sites clearly demonstrates the value of GlobalSpec's one-of-a-kind parametric search capability to users in the electronics/semiconductor market, and that the suppliers represented on GlobalSpec benefit from an ever-growing audience of engineers and technical buyers, all actively searching for products and services.
