The original innovators of optical post-etch punching — now manufacturing the next generation.
Multiline Technology pioneered optical post-etch punching in 1983, establishing the industry standard for inner-layer registration in multilayer PCB fabrication. For decades, Multiline and Optiline systems were the benchmark equipment found in fabrication shops worldwide.
WKK represented Multiline across Asia for more than 30 years, building deep expertise in the technology and an extensive installed base. In December 2016, WKK acquired the global product rights to the entire Multiline Technology product line — including the ATP, OPE, and ECP series.
Today, WKK Machinery manufactures the next generation of Multiline systems from our advanced facility in Dongguan, China, incorporating modern Windows 11 platforms, SECS-GEM MES integration, and continuous precision improvements refined over four decades of engineering.
With the establishment of WKK America, we are bringing dedicated sales, service, and technical support to North American PCB fabricators for the first time.
