From Early SMT to Today’s Advanced Printing: Microscreen Celebrates 45 Years
January 28, 2026 | MicroscreenEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Microscreen, a U.S. manufacturer specializing in high-precision SMT solder stencils and custom tooling solutions, is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year. Since its founding in 1981, the company has earned a reputation for reliability, responsiveness, and craftsmanship—helping manufacturers improve printing consistency and process control across a wide range of applications.
From quick-turn SMT stencils to custom screens and advanced microelectronics tooling, Microscreen has kept its focus on quality and customer support as markets and technologies have evolved. Every product is built with premium materials, backed by an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality control system, and documented at every stage of production.
Microscreen’s capabilities include custom laser-cut SMT stencils, large-format and thick-film screens, and precision plated parts for microelectronics printing. The company’s stencils feature 100% data-driven laser cutting with automatic AOI verification and are shipped with detailed conformance reports. Free evaluations and technical support help ensure customers get the right stencil, mesh, and frame
In addition to electronic assembly, Microscreen’s screens support a variety of industrial applications such as aerospace, defense, automotive, solar and large-format printing, semiconductors, fuel cells, and more—where accurate deposition of conductive and non-conductive inks, epoxies, and adhesives is essential.
“We’re proud to mark 45 years in this business,” said Steve Thomas, President of Microscreen. “Our success has been built on consistency, technical expertise, and a focus on serving both small and large customers with the same level of care. The relationships we’ve developed over the years are our greatest asset, and we look forward to continuing that support as manufacturing needs evolve.”
Microscreen operates from U.S. facilities dedicated to precision stencils, screens, and tooling, and provides same-day shipping on many stencil orders received by 3 p.m. EST. Its team brings decades of industry experience to every project, offering hands-on consulting, paste-report generation, artwork optimization, and technical guidance at no extra charge.
