WISE s.r.l., Parma, Italy, Announces Continued Success For 2024
February 3, 2025 | WISE s.r.lEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Wise s.r.l., a leading provider of wet and mechanical process equipment for the printed circuit board industry, announced its strong performance for 2024, achieving a 19% increase in sales over the past year and a 40% growth over the last two years.
Massimo Passerini, who has recently been appointed as the new CEO of Wise, expressed the company’s satisfaction with its sustained growth in both sales and market share over the past five years. Wise’s continued success is driven by its commitment to technology, quality, and a solid financial foundation, allowing the company to expand its customer base across Europe and the United States. While Wise has long held a significant share in the mechanical process equipment market, it has also made substantial gains in the wet process equipment sector in both regions.
To address the company’s continued growth in sales and equipment manufacturing, Wise has expanded its production facilities twice in the past five years. The most recent expansion, completed in late 2024, increases the manufacturing space by 50% and will provide the capacity to meet the rising demand for their products.
Passerini credited the company’s growth to its performance in Europe and the United States. Wise’s sales team and its distributors abroad have played a crucial role in the company’s success. Wise’s distributors have made significant investments in spare parts and service personnel over the past few years to support the growth in these territories, particularly Technica in the United States.
Wise and its distributors remain committed to enhancing customer service. In addition to expanding spare parts availability in Italy and in warehouses on both the East and West coasts of the United States, Wise provides ongoing, high-quality training for its technical service team abroad. Training sessions, held twice a year, ensure the 10-member service team stays up to date with the latest advancements in equipment design and maintenance.
Looking ahead, Wise anticipates continued growth in 2025 and beyond. With the ongoing performance and support from its distributors, the company will continue to invest in personnel and R & D to strengthen its position as a leading force in the industry.

Elementary, Mr. Watson: The Design Matrix—Revealing the Hidden Truths of Reality
05/12/2026 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. Watson“It seems you've been living two lives.” In one life, you're the respectable and responsible PCB design professional who follows the rules, works, pays taxes, meets deadlines, runs the checks, and even helps the landlady take out her garbage. In the other life, you’re the PCB designer who senses that something is wrong, searches for the deeper meaning behind their work, and can no longer fully accept the design world exactly as it has been presented. Welcome to the Design Matrix.
Punching Out: How Are the Big Boys in Electronics Doing?
05/12/2026 | Tom Kastner -- Column: Punching Out!Let’s see what the public companies are up to in the PCB and EMS industries. In North America, there are only a couple of publicly traded PCB companies: TTM Technologies and Firan Technology Group. On the EMS side, there are a few more: Flex, Jabil, Celestica, Sanmina,, Benchmark, Fabrinet, Kimball Electronics, Plexus Corp, Nortech Systems, and Key Tronic Corp. From an M&A standpoint, these public companies have been fairly quiet in the past five years. FTG completed two deals in 2022 (IMI and Holaday), Flex had three deals, Jabil had five deals, and Sanmina had one deal.
It’s Only Common Sense: Complexity Is the Enemy of Profit
05/11/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseComplexity is expensive, but it doesn’t look that way at first. In fact, it often disguises itself as sophistication, flexibility, or customer responsiveness. But peel back the layers, and you’ll find bloated costs, diluted focus, exhausted teams, and shrinking margins. Common sense says that if something is hard to understand, execute, and explain, it is probably hard to make money doing it.
