it has purchased Teradyne's laminate facility
in La Verne, California. The former Synthane Taylor

prepregs and TacLam® laminates for high layer
count high-speed digital and microwave applications.
Taconic President and Co-CEO Jim O'Keefe commented,
"Purchasing Teradyne's epoxy-coating and

the Supply Chain on its patented TacPreg product
line and assures customers of a seamless delivery
