MicroScreen Provides Precision, Partnership, and Performance in Screen and Stencil Manufacturing


By Michael Skinner, Editor F


rom its base in South Bend, Indiana, MicroScreen has grown into one of North America’s leading manufactur-


ers of precision screens and stencils used in printing and electronic assembly. By combin- ing decades of engineering experience with advanced manufacturing processes, the com- pany has built a reputation for service, accu- racy, and reliability — delivering products that enable consistent performance for cus- tomers across demanding industries, includ- ing renewable energy, electronics, medical devices, and aerospace. Founded in 1981 as a small techni-


cal enterprise serving local printing and electronics markets, MicroScreen steadi- ly evolved into a specialized, full-service manufacturer. Over time, its focus sharpened on precision-driven applica- tions requiring tight tolerances and long- term repeatability. Today, the company operates from a state-of-the-art facility in South Bend, serving customers throughout North America and interna- tionally, with plans to expand into addi- tional locations within the next year. “Our business has always been


built around precision — not just in our products, but in how we manage

relationships,” says Nik Thomas, business development manager at MicroScreen. “We work closely with customers to understand their challenges and then deliver solutions that perform optimally in their process.”


Quality at the Core At its core, MicroScreen manufactures


high-quality functional screens and stencils designed for applications that demand fine detail, uniformity, and durability. These products play a critical role in screen print-


ing, thick-film hybrid circuits, surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly, solar cell fabri- cation, and solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) hy- drogen manufacturing. The company’s SMT stencils are precision


cut to ensure uniform solder paste release and consistent print quality in electronics manu- facturing environments. Its screen printing functional screens are engineered for printing- based production across multiple industries, incorporating advanced techniques that con- trol resolution, line width, tension, and posi- tional accuracy at production volumes.
