The electronics industry mourns the loss of Mr. Michael Gasch, who passed away at age 78 on May 24, 2024, following a brief illness. A respected figure beyond the European electronics scene, Mr. Gasch's career began at DYNAMIT NOBEL AG in 1971, including 11 years as sales manager for electrical melting products in Troisdorf and 6 years as managing director and regional representative for Southeast Asia at DYNAMIT NOBEL Singapore.

In 1988, Mr. Gasch returned to Germany and began his career in electronics as an export and marketing manager at Schweizer Electronic AG, where he worked until 2003. During that time, he acquired substantial knowledge about European circuit boards and electronics, compiling his first database. Upon retirement, he founded Data4PCB, providing specialized market and company analyses. Since then, he has conducted statistical analysis for various associations like IPC, VdL, VDMA, ZVEI, handling both his own B2B statistics and annual data for the European PCB industry. Moreover, he actively published articles in industry-specific magazines and authored a trilingual dictionary titled "Printed Circuit Board Technology".

Mr. Gasch regularly presented his work eloquently, pointedly, and knowledgeably on a wide variety of occasions. His analyses, assessments and representations were and will certainly be used by many decision-makers as a basis for discussion and decision-making even after his death. We got to know and appreciate him as a very committed, reliable, kind and always helpful industry expert and friend. We will always honor his memory. Our deep condolences go out to his family and all relatives.
