History

APCT President / CEO, Steve Robinson, has been in the printed circuit board industry since 1971. After years of working as a top executive with a large global manufacturer of PCBs, he found that the culture there did not match his own values and decided to “get back to basics.”

In 2008, he acquired Advanced Printed Circuit Technology and formed the APCT we know today. Through acquisition, APCT is now one of the largest printed circuit board manufacturers in North America.

APCT Philosophy

Technology is ever-changing. Designs of printed circuit boards continue to become more advanced each day. Steve Robinson, President / CEO of APCT has successfully created a business model that tackles the challenges of an ever-changing technology environment. “The model is simple: Be able to say “Yes” to the customer’s needs of Technology and Lead Time.” And over the course of his leadership at APCT, Steve proudly states that, “Ten consecutive years of double-digit growth validates that model.”

The steps were deliberate and painstaking. To tackle technology, Steve challenges his engineering team daily to continue to push the boundaries of advanced technology manufacturing. Through knowledge, experience, and equipment enhancements, APCT is proud to say yes to higher layer counts in Through-Hole Technology; to routinely manufacture High Density Interconnect (HDI) product, and to support Flex and Rigid Flex fabrications.

To support faster builds in all technology categories, new systems were set in place to answer the demand for expedited lead times. “Our customer’s requirements to beat their competition to market demanded the change. Certainly, running 24/7 is a must to offer consistent quick-turn capability, however, the new systems now followed give our customers consistent ‘Availability’ of expedited lead times.”

APCT is now set to execute! No matter the technology, corporate cycle times are now consistently faster than industry standards and premium quick-turn capabilities are World-Class. “The consistent and reliable execution of quick turn orders has earned the trust and loyalty of APCT’s partners,” Steve Robinson…
