Welcome everyone and thank you for joining us today for this Q&A session with Ken Marino, President at Orbel and HITEK’s Operations Director, Roger Dent. Ken brings a wealth of experience to the table, having been with Orbel for a 41 of years. Today, we’ll be learning more about Orbel’s history, capabilities and how they can help customers with mission-critical challenges. So, without further ado, let’s get started!
Ken, it’s a pleasure to chat with you today. Orbel’s story is quite interesting. Perhaps you could share how the company came to be?
Sure Roger, Orbel was founded in 1961, where we initially started as a reel-to-reel electroplating company to help support and service the ever-growing electronics industry. Orbel are now a major supplier for electronic companies seeking high performance and precision engineered components. We’re proud that Orbel has combined expertise in technology, advanced manufacturing skills and quality control housed in a modern 57,000 sq. ft to facility in Easton Pennsylvania.
Which markets do Orbel serve Ken?
While Orbel serves the broader industrial and general electronics markets, our true passion lies in precision light-gauge metal components. We specialise in meeting the demanding needs of the Hi-Reliability, Military/Aerospace, and Automotive industries. Our goal is to empower our customers with the confidence to conquer any mission-critical challenge.
What about Orbel’s capabilities; what can HITEK’s customers draw upon?
The first question Orbel always asks when approaching a project is, “How can we take a vision and turn it into a repeatable, manufacturable reality?
AS9100 design-certified, Orbel is a light-gauge, tight-tolerance specialist backed by an engineering team with a long history of excellence. We keep design manufacturing and design engineering under one roof, from print development to full production. At Orbel, we take pride in our robust design and quality control processes for all our services, including heat treating, forming, plating, stamping, and etching. This ensures that HITEK’s customers receive precision-engineered components that consistently meet the highest standards of performance and reliability, crucial for success in demanding applications.

Technical Tip – Shelf Life, Pot Life and Working Life
Technical data sheet terminology can be confusing at times. We at HITEK have asked several people what they believe Shelf Life, Pot Life, Working Life and Gel Time mean, and we received mixed answers. For that reason, our Technical Manager @DavidMcAllister has put together a great technical tip document highlighting many key points that should help with any queries that you may have about these topics.

We would like to issue a massive Thank You to everyone who came and visited the HITEK stand @EMC&CI!
No doubt that our amazing team of @CameronFinch and @MoKhan were able to answer any questions or queries that you had about #protectingyourelectronics. It was great to see familiar faces as well as new people that have taken an interest into what HITEK has to offer!

The first Thursday of May is always World Password day. Here at HITEK we understand the importance of a strong password, as it provides you that safety for your things. Having a weak or easy password can result in a lot of harm.
To demonstrate this we have setup a little demo of a weak and easily guessable password. Simply look through the image at the top of the post for a 5 digit code and enter it down below. That will grant you access to something new on our site.
Everyone at HITEK would like to extend a massive congratulations to four very brave staff members @CameronFinch, Matthew, Jake and Wayne as they all completed a skydive in aid of @LindseyLodge this past Saturday! In doing so they raised very close to £3000 which is absolutely phenomenal and a great token of support for such a wonderful charity.
Watch this to see how our Cameron Finch faired against the skydive
On top of this HITEK orchestrated a dress down and cake day this past Friday in order to help raise additional funds for the skydive and support Lindsey Lodge further. This saw us raise a fantastic total of £191.60 on the day for such a great cause!
