Celebrating 24 Years of PCB Manufacturing Excellence
After 24 years of manufacturing some of the world’s most advanced printed circuit boards (PCBs), Gorilla Circuits has reached an exciting milestone: our very first billboard!
Located on the east side of I-880 (Nimitz Freeway), just south of the Brokaw Road interchange and facing northbound traffic, the billboard proudly reflects who we are as a company and the customers we’ve had the privilege of serving for more than two decades.
The message is simple:
Silicon Valley Based. Globally Trusted.
Those five words represent the foundation of Gorilla Circuits. Since 2001, we’ve grown from a Silicon Valley PCB manufacturer into a trusted partner providing PCB fabrication, PCB assembly, component procurement, and turnkey electronics manufacturing services for customers around the world.
For our team, this billboard isn’t simply advertising. It’s a celebration of the people, partnerships, and innovation that have shaped Gorilla Circuits over the last 24 years.

The Story Behind the Billboard Design
Designed in-house by our Marketing team, every element of the billboard was intentionally chosen to reflect both our heritage and the industries we serve.
The centerpiece features our Gorilla mascot wearing a futuristic astronaut suit constructed from printed circuit boards. The design symbolizes advanced electronics manufacturing while highlighting one of the fastest-growing areas of our business: Aerospace & Defense.
The astronaut represents more than space exploration.
It represents the complex, mission-critical technologies our customers are building every day.
Gorilla Circuits manufactures high-reliability PCBs and PCB assemblies for organizations working across:

More Than a Billboard
For many companies, a billboard is simply another marketing campaign.
For Gorilla Circuits, it’s something much more meaningful.
It represents 24 years of continuous investment in manufacturing, equipment, quality systems, customer relationships, and the talented people who make everything possible.
Every printed circuit board we’ve fabricated.
Every PCB assembly we’ve built.
Every engineering challenge we’ve helped solve.
This milestone belongs to every employee, customer, and partner who has contributed to our journey.
Seeing Gorilla Circuits displayed in the heart of Silicon Valley is a proud reminder that world-class electronics manufacturing continues to thrive right here in the United States.
