Koh Young Technology, a leader in True 3D measurement-based inspection solutions, has announced a new partnership with SMarTsol to support Koh Young America customers in Mexico, effective February 1, 2026. The partnership strengthens Koh Young’s long-term commitment to manufacturers in Mexico, with an emphasis on responsive local engagement and application-driven support.

Koh Young’s True 3D measurement-based inspection and metrology solutions help manufacturers prevent defects, optimize processes, and increase throughput by transforming inspection data into actionable insights across the SMT line. Through the new partnership, customers in Mexico will benefit from a direct local point of contact for day-to-day coordination, application discussions, and execution support.

SMarTsol brings an established regional team and a strong reputation for customer responsiveness. Together, Koh Young America and SMarTsol will focus on long-term customer success by aligning account priorities, maintaining consistent engagement, and supporting manufacturers as product mixes, quality targets, and throughput requirements evolve. The companies will work jointly on demonstrations, evaluations, and ongoing engagement to help connect inspection performance with process improvement.

“Mexico continues to play an important role in electronics manufacturing, and customers expect practical support close to the factory,” said Heriberto Cuevas, Sales Manager and Team Leader of Mexico and South America for Koh Young America. “We value the strong relationships built in the market, and we are focused on maintaining continuity while raising the level of responsiveness and follow-through. SMarTsol aligns well with that expectation.”

“This partnership supports our long-term focus on customer success in Mexico,” said Joel Scutchfield, General Manager of Koh Young America. “SMarTsol will help us stay close to production realities, from early application alignment through sustained results, with a shared commitment to helping manufacturers optimize processes with trusted measurement and actionable insights. Their team knows the region well, and we are confident this collaboration will help us serve customers with continuity, speed, and disciplined follow-through.”

“With teams across Mexico, we are focused on practical execution close to the factory,” said Ivan Romo, Director of SMarTsol Technology. “Working with Koh Young America, our team will support manufacturers in Mexico with application alignment, responsive coordination, and disciplined follow-through to help optimize processes and achieve measurable outcomes.”

Under the partnership, SMarTsol will support Koh Young America customers across Mexico through local engagement, application discussions, and coordinated execution aligned with measurable results. Customers will continue to receive service, training, and technical support through Koh Young’s regional teams and established support channels.

The companies will showcase the partnership at IPC APEX EXPO 2026, where SMarTsol will display several Koh Young systems and discuss inspection applications and process optimization opportunities with attendees.
