Following Merger, Top PCB Manufacturers Celebrate Industry’s Most Complete Solution With Brand Refresh
January 8, 2026 | ASCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Building on the success of their 2023 merger, two of the nation’s leading printed circuit board manufacturers — American Standard Circuits and Sunstone Circuits — have united under a shared brand family: ASC. Now known as American Standard Circuits (ASC) and ASC Sunstone respectively, the change reflects a shared legacy of innovation, engineering excellence, and the expanded capabilities now available to customers across industries.
New logo reflects legacy of innovation in PCBs
The updated brand identity combines aspects of both company’s original logos, to honor each company’s legacy: the people and partnerships that shaped their growth and solidified their standing as leaders in PCB manufacturing.
At the center of the new logo is a stylized lightning bolt, representing the spark of brilliance that drives innovation, and the current of energy that flows when a circuit is complete. The design also evokes PCB tracelines — a nod to the engineering precision and advanced capabilities that unite both companies.
Looking ahead for 2026 and beyond
While branding evolves, what remains constant is an unwavering commitment to the customer experience. Customers can expect the same responsiveness, reliability, and technical mastery they’ve always trusted — now backed by the combined strength and capabilities of two established PCB leaders united under a shared brand.
“This unification is about more than a name — it’s about a shared vision for the future of PCB manufacturing,” said Anaya Vardya, CEO at ASC. “By coming together as a brand family, we’re harnessing the strengths of two pioneering companies to accelerate innovation, expand our capabilities, and continue to offer new solutions for our customers.”
With a refreshed visual identity, an expanded suite of manufacturing capabilities, and ongoing investments in employees, technology, and R&D, ASC enters the new year poised to lead the next era of PCB manufacturing. Together, American Standard Circuits (ASC) and ASC Sunstone are committed to delivering innovative, high-quality, U.S.-made circuit board solutions — from quick-turn prototypes to complex, high-reliability designs — serving industries from aerospace and medical to telecommunications and consumer electronics.
