Microscreen had a strong showing in the January 2026 edition of SMT Today. The coverage recognized both a major company milestone and the manufacturing approach behind its precision screen and stencil solutions.
Together, the features reflect Microscreen’s long-standing role in the electronics manufacturing and microelectronic printing industries, as well as its continued focus on quality, reliability, and customer partnership.
Celebrating 45 Years of Precision Manufacturing
One feature, published as part of SMT Today’s Milestone Anniversaries section, recognized Microscreen’s 45-year history of supplying high-quality stencils, screens, and microelectronic printing solutions.
Founded in 1981, the company has grown from a small technical enterprise into a specialized manufacturer serving customers across North America and beyond. Over the past four decades, Microscreen has built its reputation on dependable processes, responsive service, and consistent results.
Every product is manufactured using carefully selected materials and supported by ISO 9001:2015-certified quality control, helping customers streamline production and achieve repeatable performance. The piece also highlighted leadership perspectives from Steve Thomas, President of Microscreen, emphasizing the importance of craftsmanship, service, and long-term customer relationships in sustaining the company’s growth.
The milestone reflects the consistent focus on reliability, process control, and customer trust that has shaped how Microscreen operates.
Precision, Partnership, and Performance in Screen and Stencil Manufacturing
Microscreen was also featured in SMT Today’s Technology Today editorial section, which examined the company’s approach to screen and stencil manufacturing, engineering support, and its emphasis on partnership-driven execution.
The article highlighted Microscreen’s close collaboration with customers to design screens and stencils that meet specific process requirements, particularly for applications requiring fine detail, tight tolerances, and long-term durability. Insights from Nik Thomas, Business Development Manager, reinforced how precision extends beyond manufacturing into communication, responsiveness, and relationship management.
Microscreen’s products support a wide range of manufacturing environments, including surface-mount technology (SMT), thick-film hybrid circuits, solar cell production, and SOFC hydrogen fuel cell manufacturing. Advanced manufacturing processes and engineering expertise enable consistent accuracy at scale, even in high-volume and high-reliability applications. The feature also noted Microscreen’s state-of-the-art facility in South Bend, Indiana, and plans to expand to additional locations within the coming year.
Industry Recognition Built on Experience
Together, the two features in SMT Today highlight Microscreen’s continued investment in technical expertise, manufacturing discipline, and customer-focused execution. Rather than focusing solely on individual products, both articles emphasized how precision extends into relationships, long-term performance, and trust.
As Microscreen continues to support customers across electronics, energy, and industrial markets, this recognition reinforces the company’s role as a trusted partner in precision screen and stencil manufacturing.
