Anticipating Growth, Sunburst Electronics Invests in New Equipment: Expands Both Capacity and Production Capabilities

ERIE, Pa. (March 13, 2009) – Sunburst Electronics, a contract manufacturer of electronic controls based in Erie, Pa., has completed a significant stage in its continued expansion by increasing both capacity and printed circuit board production capabilities via a major capital equipment purchase. Anticipating growing its business in the military, medical and other high-reliability markets this year, the company added a full-service MYDATA® production line for surface mount applications.

Complete with numerous state-of-the-art technologies including a Linescan Vision System and advanced-level software, Sunburst’s new production line is capable of mounting exceptionally small, complex components with very high degrees of accuracy.
