For contract manufacturers across Europe, 2006 will be regarded as a very challenging year. During 2006, these companies had to ensure that their manufacturing procedures complied with the RoHS lead-free regulations. The RoHS regulations have been created to safeguard the environment from the considerable amount of lead found in waste electronics products and has meant that the entire electronics industry has had to undergo a massive change, removing lead from the majority of electronic components and assemblies.

UK contract electronics manufacturer, Barric, has undergone a complete new branding.
