Garry Black

Garry joined B&W Engineering as an Electro-Mechanical technician in 1981. By 1983 he was Production Manage, and on to President in October 1986. Prior to joining B&W, Garry held several positions in Civil Engineering from 1976-1981. Garry continued his college education with evening and weekend classes through 1991, with an engineering major and business minor. Since then he has completed courses in the study of Microelectronics Assembly, Shock, Vibration and Sound Testing, Measurement and Control and other short courses focused on computer control and measurements. Now, with over 35 years of diverse engineering experience, he continues applying these skills to many industrial needs.

B&W operates with the customer's need as the focus, not profit. When the customer's needs are satisfied the profits will follow. B&W is known for its customer satisfaction, with the belief that it is better to have 100 customers that you have satisfied than 1000 that you have dissatisfied.

This focus has primarily been applied to Particle Impact Noise Detection (PIND) of microelectronic devices and the like. As the devices became larger the potential for loose particles increased as did the value of the devices. The devices can be very costly and to lose even one can be tens of thousands of dollars. B&W was quick to recommend the use of the PIND system as a process control tool. By PIND testing the device before it has been sealed, sometimes called a "Vibe Clean", the loose particles will be evacuated. Any loose particles detected after sealing is likely from the sealing process. Another failsafe innovated by B&W is the Transient Detector, an identical sensor that monitors for any outside interference that the PIND detector is susceptible to such as RF, Cell Phones, Acoustic Noise, Doors Closing, adjacent equipment, etc. (See JEDEC Publication #114 Recommendations for PIND testing). As a member of the Institute of Environmental Sciences (1ES) and the International Society for Hybrid Microelectronics (ISHM), Garry has participated in Presentations, Papers and Symposia. Now enrolled in the Goldman Sachs Small Business 10,000 program, which gives small business owners the resources they need to increase their growth and provide employment opportunities in select industries and areas. The program includes intensive courses on management, technical and financial issues and mentors in the areas needed to grow the businesses.
