If you’ve been a customer of American Standard Circuits or Sunstone Circuits over the past year, you may already know that our two companies joined forces in 2023 — and many of you have experienced the benefits of that merger firsthand. Today, we’re taking the natural next step in that journey by launching our unified brand.

As you begin to see updated logos and branding appear across our websites, social media profiles, packaging, and more we want you to know exactly what’s changing — and what’s not.

American Standard Circuits and ASC Sunstone are now united under a shared brand identity, designed to reflect the combined strength, expertise, and innovation our teams have been building together since the merger.

This evolution doesn’t change who you work with or how you work with us. Instead, it’s about making your experience even more seamless and signaling the long-term commitment we’ve made to grow, innovate, and strengthen U.S.-based PCB manufacturing.

Honoring the Past, Carrying on the Legacy

The updated logo blends familiar elements and colors from both original logos to pay homage to the long-standing expertise, customer partnerships, and talented teams that elevated both companies to leadership positions in the PCB industry.

At the center we kept — but updated — our stylized lightning-bolt. This motif symbolizes:

  • A spark of innovation — representing the brilliance and problem-solving that drives your projects — and every PCB we manufacture
  • The flow of energy — evoking the current that moves through a complete circuit
  • The precision of PCB tracelines — a nod to the advanced capabilities made possible by this merger
  • Forward momentum — the drive for constant improvement shared across both companies

Why This Matters for You, Our Customers

When you trust us with your PCB order, the logo on the outside of the box is merely a symbol of what’s inside. And what’s inside is what really matters. Over the past two years, combining our teams, technologies, and capabilities has allowed us to offer the industry’s most complete solution, combining advanced capabilities with quick-turn PCB manufacturing right here in the United States.

By aligning under a shared brand, we’re making it even easier for customers to tap into the full strength of both companies:

 

  • Expanded quick-turn and prototype capabilities
  • Broader expertise in complex, high-reliability PCB technologies
  • Greater investment in people, equipment, and R&D
  • A stronger, more resilient domestic manufacturing footprint

It’s all part of our promise to continue strengthening onshore manufacturing and supporting the industries that rely on rapid, reliable, high-quality PCBs to bring new ideas to life.

Why We’re Evolving Our Brand

While the merger brought our organizations together operationally, our branding remained separate — something many customers noticed and asked about. Unifying our visual branding not only reflects the reality of how we now operate, it’s also another step forward in our ongoing effort to streamline the customer experience. Symbolically, it establishes a clear future together, united by a commitment to serve customers and advance the PCB industry.

Looking Ahead to 2026 and Beyond

This unification is about more than an updated logo — it’s about a shared vision for the future of PCB manufacturing. By coming together with ASC Sunstone we’re harnessing the strengths of two pioneering companies to accelerate innovation, expand our capabilities, and continue offering new solutions for our customers.

Together, American Standard Circuits (ASC) and ASC Sunstone will continue delivering high-quality, U.S.-made printed circuit boards for industries ranging from aerospace and medical to telecommunications, defense, automotive, and consumer electronics.

As always, our mission remains the same: to support the engineers, innovators, and problem-solvers shaping the future of technology.

Thank You for Being Part of This Journey

We’re grateful for your trust, your partnership, and the projects you bring to us every day. This brand evolution is a reflection of everything we’ve built together — and everything we’re excited to build next.
