BSU Inc.

About BSU Inc.

BSU Inc., doing business as BSU Electronics, was founded in 1989 in Ithaca, New York, and now operates its manufacturing facility in Austin, Texas. The company has been assembling printed circuit boards in the United States for over three decades, with early work including boards for Xerox’s first digital copier platform. Leadership includes Chief Executive Officer Leyla Sudbury and Executive Chairman Andrew Cousin. The shop provides full-service electronics contract manufacturing, spanning printed circuit board assembly (SMT, through-hole, and press-fit), box-build integration, custom cable and wire harness assembly, and a comprehensive suite of testing methods including flying probe, 5D X-ray, AOI, and functional test. It supports rigid, flex, and rigid-flex PCB types up to multi-layer and controlled-impedance designs, and offers design-for-manufacturability services, conformal coating, software programming, and system integration. Sourcing options range from turnkey and consigned to domestic ITAR-compliant procurement. BSU serves customers in semiconductor capital equipment, aerospace (avionics, communication boards, aircraft spares), defense (manned and unmanned systems), transportation (roller coasters, monorails, electric and autonomous vehicles), energy (generation, storage, AI data-center infrastructure), medical technology, and broader industrial automation. Long-term clients include a 30-year partner building safety-critical test equipment, a 23-year lead purchaser, and a two-year supplier of aerospace assemblies to the U.S. government. The company emphasizes engineer-led sourcing and testing to catch design issues during build rather than qualification, and advertises flexible lead times such as sub-24-hour turns when parts are on hand, three-day new quotes, and one-day rush for existing customers. Its ITAR registration and adherence to IPC-A-610, J-STD-001, and WHMA-A-620 standards underpin its pitch for repeatable, transparent quality.
