American Standard Circuits (ASC), a leading U.S.-based manufacturer of advanced printed circuit boards, announced that it has successfully re-certified to the IATF 16949 quality management standard, reaffirming its commitment to world-class manufacturing, continuous improvement, and uncompromising quality for customers in the automotive and high-reliability markets.
IATF 16949, governed by the International Automotive Task Force, is the global benchmark for automotive and mission-critical manufacturing. The standard emphasizes defect prevention, risk mitigation, process discipline, traceability, and continuous improvement across the entire supply chain. Achieving and maintaining this certification requires rigorous audits, documented process control, and proven operational excellence.
ASC’s re-certification confirms that its systems, processes, and culture continue to meet the demanding requirements of customers who depend on consistent performance, reliability, and accountability—from prototype through production.
“This re-certification is not a checkbox exercise—it’s a validation of how we run our business every day,” said Anaya Vardya, President and CEO of American Standard Circuits. “IATF 16949 forces discipline, transparency, and continuous improvement, and that aligns perfectly with our mission. Our customers trust us with their most demanding designs, and this certification proves we take that responsibility seriously.”
ASC serves a broad range of industries including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, industrial, and emerging technologies. By maintaining IATF 16949 certification, the company strengthens its position as a trusted domestic manufacturing partner capable of meeting stringent global quality expectations while delivering responsive service and technical expertise.
Vardya continued, "With this milestone, American Standard Circuits continues to demonstrate that quality is not a department—it’s a system, a mindset, and a promise."
