This year, the team from Gorilla Circuits was proud to exhibit at PCB East 2026 on April 29 at the DCU Center in Worcester, joining hundreds of professionals from across the electronics manufacturing industry for one of the East Coast’s premier PCB design and manufacturing events.
Representing Gorilla Circuits on the show floor were Mark Anselmi, Jackson Bator, Kevin Fennell, and Casey Willard. The teammates are members of our Sales and Marketing team working out of the Gorilla East Coast office in Nashua, New Hampshire. Throughout the event, the team connected with engineers, procurement professionals, OEMs, students, and technology innovators while showcasing a range of complex PCB builds and discussing Gorilla Circuits’ full turnkey PCB manufacturing and PCB assembly capabilities.
The Gorilla Difference

These integrated services help customers streamline production, reduce lead times, and simplify supply chain management.
Connecting with Industry Leaders
PCB East 2026 brought together leaders across aerospace, defense, robotics, semiconductor, industrial, and advanced technology sectors. The Gorilla Circuits team had the opportunity to connect with attendees and organizations including students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, as well as companies such as Booz Allen Hamilton, Blue Origin, Boston Dynamics, L3Harris Technologies, and Teradyne.
Industry Growth
The event highlighted the continued strength and growth of the electronics manufacturing industry. According to a LinkedIn post shared by the Printed Circuit Engineering Association (PCEA), PCB East 2026 attendance increased significantly over last year’s event, with technical conference attendance up 38% and overall registration increasing 42%. PCEA also noted that more than 85 industry suppliers and manufacturers exhibited during the event, reflecting the strong momentum within the PCB industry.
“The East Coast market once again showed its incredible vibrancy,” said Mike Buetow, according to the PCEA LinkedIn announcement. “Due to demand, we moved to a larger space for 2026, which resulted in the addition of 20 more exhibitors. The industry response speaks for itself.”
The event created valuable opportunities to reconnect with long-time industry contacts while building new relationships across the electronics manufacturing ecosystem. From PCB designers and engineers to sourcing teams and students preparing to enter the field, the conversations throughout the day reinforced the growing demand for reliable, high-quality PCB manufacturing partners capable of supporting complex projects and fast-moving production schedules.
A Bright Future
Gorilla Circuits is proud to support industry leaders in aerospace, defense, robotics, semiconductor technology, industrial electronics, and other high-performance sectors that depend on dependable PCB fabrication and assembly services built in the USA.
