The NEDME team is thrilled to welcome back ASC Sunstone Circuits as one of our Gold Sponsors for 2025! We caught up with Kelly Atay of ASC Sunstone to talk shop about the electronics industry and what benefits ASC Sunstone has seen from their involvement in NEDME. Check out the interview below! Exhibitor booths are still available, but going fast, so register today!
What role does Sunstone play in the electronics design and manufacturing industry in the Pacific Northwest?
At Sunstone, we’re all about helping local engineers and companies get their PCBs made fast and right here in the U.S. Whether it’s a quick prototype or something more complex, we’ve got the tools to support it. We work with everyone from startups to big industries like aerospace and medical. It feels good knowing we’re helping keep innovation moving forward in our own backyard.
If you could give our readers one sentence of expert insight or advice on how they can stay ahead in the industry, what would it be?
Keep learning, work closely with your manufacturing partners, and don’t wait until the end to think about how it’s actually going to get built.
What can attendees look forward to at your booth this year?
Attendees can expect real conversations with real people who understand PCB challenges—and how to solve them. We’ll have experts from both ASC and Sunstone on hand, plus resources to help you go from concept to assembled board faster and smarter. Oh—and maybe a few fun giveaways too!
How do you think trade shows like NEDME play a role in the future of the industry?
Events like NEDME keep our industry human. They give engineers, manufacturers, and innovators a chance to step away from their screens, talk shop, swap ideas, and build relationships that lead to better designs and smarter solutions.
