IPC COMMUNITY 11 WINTER 2024 Anaya, tell us a little about your company. We have grown a great deal, especially in the past five years. This can be attributed to increasing our technology reach, includ- ing adding flex and rigid-flex, metal-backed PCBs, and lately, ultra HDI with lines and spaces down to 1 mil. When deciding which technology to invest in, we have found the market information provided by IPC tre- mendously helpful. We rely on IPC global and domestic surveys to help determine our company's strategic direction. What are you most proud of about your company? ASC-Sunstone provides our customers with a complete solution, from design to fabrication, and cutting-edge technology to global sourcing. We consider ourselves the industry's most diverse, flexible, and capa- ble company to work with. We aim to provide our customers with the most complete and valuable PCB experience. Why is your company an IPC member? We joined IPC to be sure we are kept up to date on industry market data, technol- ogy developments, and market trends. And of course, we need the specs. We consider IPC the industry supporter—the one place where all the PCB fabricators can meet and work toward the greater good of our tech- nology. What does IPC membership mean to you? I like having international standards that everyone must adhere to. Honestly, this is the most important service that IPC offers. The specs are guidelines that define our entire industry. If we didn't have this, then every country could independently follow its own standards. For a global technology like ours, that would not only be chaos but also unfair to those of us who strictly follow the global standards that IPC sets. In fact, we gladly take part when we are asked to give feedback to IPC. IPC COMMUNITY 11 WINTER 2024
