ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

PROXY STATEMENT

     This proxy statement contains information related to our annual meeting of stockholders to be held on Friday, September 9, 2005, beginning at 10:00 a.m. local time, at Suntron’s corporate headquarters located at 2401 West Grandview Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85023 and at any adjournments or postponements thereof. The purpose of this proxy statement is to solicit proxies from the holders of our common stock for use at the meeting. This proxy statement, the accompanying notice of annual meeting, and the enclosed form of proxy are being sent to stockholders on or about August 18, 2005. You should review this information in conjunction with our 2004 Annual Report to Stockholders, which accompanies this proxy statement.

ABOUT THE MEETING

What is the purpose of the annual meeting?

     At the annual meeting, stockholders will vote on the election of directors. In addition, our management will report on our performance during 2004 and respond to questions from our stockholders.

Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

     Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date, July 29, 2005, are entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting and to vote the shares of our common stock that they held on that date at the meeting, or any postponements or adjournments of the meeting. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles its holder to cast one vote on each matter to be voted upon.

Who may attend the meeting?

     All stockholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the meeting. Please note that if you hold shares in “street name” (that is, through a broker or other nominee), you will need to bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting your stock ownership as of the record date.

What constitutes a quorum?

     The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of all of the shares of common stock outstanding on the record date will constitute a quorum, permitting the board of directors to conduct its business. As of the record date, 27,415,221 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Proxies received but marked as abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the meeting but will not be counted as votes cast “for” or “against” any given matter.

     If less than a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote are represented at the meeting, a majority of the shares present at the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another date, time, or place, and notice need not be given of the new date, time, or place if the new date, time, or place is announced at the meeting before an adjournment is taken.

How do I vote?

     If you complete and properly sign the accompanying proxy card and return it to us, it will be voted as you direct. If you are a registered stockholder and attend the meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person. “Street name” stockholders who wish to vote at the meeting will need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds their shares.

Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

     Yes. Even after you have submitted your proxy, you may change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised by filing with us either a notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. The powers of the proxy holders will be suspended if you attend the meeting in person and so request, although attendance at the meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy.

What are the board’s recommendations?

     Unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors. Each of the board’s recommendations is set forth together with the description of each item in this proxy statement. In summary, the board recommends a vote “for” election of its nominees for directors.

     Our board of directors does not know of any other matters that may be brought before the meeting nor does it foresee or have reason to believe that the proxy holders will have to vote for substitute or alternate board nominees for directors. In the event that any other matter should properly come before the meeting or any nominee for director is not available for election, the proxy holders will vote as recommended by the board of directors or, if no recommendation is given, in accordance with their best judgment.

What vote is required to approve each item?

     Election of Directors. The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting by each holder of common stock (either in person or by proxy) is required for the election of directors. A properly executed proxy marked “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY” with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes for directors.

     Other Items. For each other item, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting by each holder of common stock (either in person or by proxy) will be required for approval. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to any such matter will not be voted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a negative vote.

What are the effects of “broker non-votes”?

     If you hold your shares in street name through a broker or other nominee, your broker or nominee may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to some of the matters to be acted upon. Thus, if you do not give your broker or nominee specific instructions, your shares may not be voted on those matters. Shares represented by these “broker non-votes” will, however, be counted in determining whether there is a quorum. As a result, “broker non-votes” will have the effect of a negative vote on some matters.

Who will pay for the preparation of the proxy?

     We will pay the cost of preparing, assembling, and mailing the proxy statement, notice of meeting, and enclosed proxy card. In addition to the use of mail, our employees may solicit proxies personally and by telephone. Our employees will receive no compensation for soliciting proxies other than their regular salaries. We may request banks, brokers, and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries to forward copies of the proxy material to the beneficial owners of our common stock and to request authority for the execution of proxies, and we may reimburse such persons for their expenses incurred in connection with these activities.

     Our principal executive offices are located at 2401 West Grandview Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85023 and our telephone number is (602) 789-6600. A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting will be available at our offices for a period of 10 days prior to the meeting and at the meeting itself for examination by any stockholder.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Directors and Nominees

     Our board of directors is divided into three classes and each class of directors serves for a three-year term or until successors of that class have been elected and qualified. At the annual meeting, our stockholders will elect four Class I directors, each of whom will serve for a term expiring at the 2008 annual meeting, or until his successor has been duly elected and qualified.

     Our board of directors has no reason to believe that any nominee will refuse to act or be unable to accept election. However, if any of them are unable to accept election or if any other unforeseen contingencies should arise, our board of directors may designate a substitute nominee. If our board of directors designates a substitute nominee, the persons named as proxies will vote for the substitute nominee designated by our board of directors.

     Our board of directors has nominated Allen S. Braswell, Jr., James J. Forese, Jesse Hermann and Hargopal (Paul) Singh, each of whom are currently serving as directors, to stand for re-election. The terms of Ivor J. Evans, Douglas P. McCormick, Jose S. Medeiros, and James C. Van Horne will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2006. The terms of Jeffrey W. Goettman, John C. Walker, Thomas B. Sabol, and Enrique Zambrano will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders in 2007.

Information Relating to Corporate Governance and the Board of Directors

     Our board of directors has determined, after considering all the relevant facts and circumstances, that Messrs. Braswell, Hermann, Sabol, Van Horne, and Zambrano are independent directors, as “independence” is defined by the listing standards of the National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”).

     Thayer-Blum Funding III, L.L.C. owns 24,582,191 shares of our common stock, or 89.7% of our outstanding shares. See “Security Ownership of Principal Stockholders, Directors and Officers” below beginning on page 8. Accordingly, our company is deemed to be a “controlled company,” which is defined by the NASD listing standards as a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group, or another company. As a “controlled company,” we are not required to have a compensation committee or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors nor is our board of directors required to be comprised of a majority of independent directors.

     Our board of directors has established three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors has adopted charters for the audit and the nominating and corporate governance committees describing the authority and responsibilities delegated to each committee by the board of directors. Our board of directors has also adopted a Whistle Blower Policy and a Code of Ethics for the CEO and Senior Financial Officers. We post on our website at www.suntroncorp.com, the charters of the audit and the nominating and corporate governance committees; our Whistle Blower Policy and Code of Ethics for the CEO and Senior Financial Officers, and any amendments or waivers thereto; and any other corporate governance materials contemplated by SEC or NASD regulations. These documents are also available in print to any stockholder requesting a copy in writing from our corporate secretary at our executive offices set forth in this proxy statement. In addition, the Charter of the Audit Committee as currently in effect is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

     We intend to schedule each year at least two executive sessions at which independent directors meet without the presence or participation of management. During 2004, the independent directors met in four executive sessions.

     Interested parties may communicate with our board of directors or specific members of our board of directors, including the members of our various board committees, by submitting a letter addressed to the Board of Directors of Suntron Corporation c/o any specified individual director or directors at the address listed herein. Any such letters will be forwarded to the indicated directors.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

     Our board of directors held five meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Except for Mr. Sabol, all of our directors attended more than 75% of the meetings of the board of directors and the committees of the board of directors held during fiscal year 2004.

Committees of the Board of Directors

     Audit Committee. The purpose of the audit committee is to oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of our company and the audits of the financial statements of our company and to provide assistance to our board of directors with respect to the oversight of the integrity of the financial statements of our company, our company’s compliance with legal and regulatory matters, the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, and the performance of our company’s internal audit function and our independent auditors. The primary responsibilities of the audit committee are set forth in its charter and include various matters with respect to the oversight of our company’s accounting and financial reporting process and audits of the financial statements of our company on behalf of our board of directors. The audit committee also selects the independent certified public accountants to conduct the annual audit of the financial statements of our company; reviews the proposed scope of such audit; reviews accounting and financial controls of our company with the independent public accountants and our financial accounting staff; and reviews and approves transactions between us and our directors, officers, and their affiliates. The current members of the audit committee are Messrs. Hermann, Sabol, and Van Horne (chairman), each of whom qualifies as an independent director under NASD listing standards as well as under rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Sabol and Van Horne each qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” in accordance with applicable SEC rules and regulations. The audit committee met eight times during fiscal year 2004, including three telephonic meetings.

     Compensation Committee. The compensation committee reviews and monitors our compensation and benefit plans to ensure that they meet corporate objectives, including the administration of our stock option plan. In fulfilling this function, the compensation committee will review the recommendations of the chief executive officer regarding changes to the major compensation policies and practices and the compensation provided to our officers. Its current members include Messrs. Goettman, Walker (chairman), and Zambrano. The compensation committee met once during fiscal year 2004.

     Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The purpose and responsibilities of the nominating and corporate governance committee include the oversight of the selection and composition of committees of the board of directors, the oversight of the evaluations of the board of directors and management, the identification of individuals qualified to become board members, the selection or recommendation to the board of directors of nominees to stand for election as directors at each election of directors, the development and recommendation to the board of directors of a set of corporate governance principles applicable to our company, and the establishment of board of director compensation levels.

     The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider persons recommended by stockholders for inclusion as nominees for election to our board of directors if the names, biographical data, and qualifications of such persons are submitted in writing in a timely manner addressed and delivered to our company’s secretary at the address listed herein. The nominating and corporate governance committee identifies and evaluates nominees for our board of directors, including nominees recommended by stockholders, based on numerous factors it considers appropriate, some of which may include strength of character, mature judgment, career specialization, relevant technical skills, diversity, and the extent to which the nominee would fill a present need on our board of directors. The current members of the nominating and corporate governance committee include Messrs. Braswell, Goettman (chairman), and Walker. Messrs. Goettman and Walker may not be considered independent for purposes of the NASD’s listing requirements. The nominating and corporate governance committee met twice during 2004.

Director Compensation and Other Information

     We pay each of our independent directors an annual fee of $15,000, which is paid quarterly. We also pay each independent director $500 per board meeting. Each independent director is entitled to receive, in lieu of the

cash retainer fee, quarterly stock options having a Black-Scholes value as of the grant date equal to $3,750. During 2004, none of the independent directors elected to receive stock options in lieu of cash compensation.

     Additionally, we pay members of our audit committee and independent members of our compensation committee a fee for each committee meeting they attend. Each audit committee member receives $1,000 per meeting ($500 in the case of telephonic meetings), and the Chairman receives an additional $500 per meeting ($250 in the case of telephonic meetings). Each independent member of the nominating and corporate governance committee and the compensation committee receives $500 per meeting ($250 in the case of telephonic meetings), and the Chairman receives no additional payment. We will also pay $10,000 to each member of any “special committee” created to represent the interests of the minority stockholders. Finally, we reimburse our independent directors for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of their duties as directors.

     All of our independent directors are eligible to receive grants of stock options under our stock option plan. Upon election to our board of directors, each independent director receives an option to purchase 15,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price per share equal to the closing price on the grant date. The initial options granted to non-employee directors vest for 20% of the shares at the end of each calendar year. At the end of each calendar quarter, each independent director also receives an option to purchase 1,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price per share equal to the closing price on the grant date, provided the director has served as an independent director for at least two months. The options granted to independent directors at the end of each calendar quarter vest for 20% of the shares upon each anniversary of the grant date.

     In May 2005, we entered into a consulting arrangement with Ivor J. Evans, who was recently appointed to our board of directors. Mr. Evans will be paid an annual consulting fee of $200,000 for his services.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

     Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Directors, officers, and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. During 2004, we believe that our directors, executive officers and 10 percent stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements, except that John H. Kulp inadvertently failed to file a Form 4 for a grant of 10,000 stock options with an exercise price of $10.52 on June 1, 2004.

Employment Agreements and Change of Control Arrangements

     Hargopal Singh, our Chief Executive Officer and President, has entered into an employment agreement that provides for his employment for a term that ends on December 31, 2006, which term automatically extends for successive one-year periods until the agreement is terminated, unless timely notice of non-renewal is given by either the Company or Mr. Singh. The Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Singh will receive a base salary of $300,000, which may be increased from time to time at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition, the Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Singh is entitled to receive bonus compensation based on the Company’s attainment of performance goals, including EBITDA and other goals determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Singh also received an initial award of stock options to purchase up to 700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Options”) at an exercise price equal to the closing sale price of the Company’s stock on May 6, 2005. The Options will vest 25% on each anniversary of the grant date, beginning on May 6, 2006, subject to acceleration in the event of a “change of control” (as defined in the Employment Agreement).

     The Employment Agreement further provides that, in the event of termination of Mr. Singh’s employment with the Company, the Company will pay to Mr. Singh one-year’s base salary and pro-rated bonus through the date of termination if he is terminated by the Board without “cause” (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or if he terminates his employment with “good reason” (as defined in the Employment Agreement). If Mr. Singh’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by Mr. Singh for “good reason” within six months prior to a “change of control” or within one year after a “change of control,” the Company will pay to Mr. Singh a bonus to the extent that the value of the Options is less $600,000 at the time of termination. Such bonus, if any, will be equal to the difference between $600,000 and the value of the Options. The Employment Agreement also includes certain restrictive covenants which limit Mr. Singh’s ability to compete with the Company or divulge certain confidential information concerning the Company.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

     The following Report of the Compensation Committee, the Report of the Audit Committee, and Performance Graph included elsewhere in this proxy statement do not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference in any other filing of ours under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate either Report or the Performance Graph by reference therein.

     Under rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are required to provide a report explaining the rationale and considerations that led to fundamental compensation decisions affecting our executive officers (including the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table above) during the past fiscal year. The report of our compensation committee is set forth below.

     James K. Bass served as our President and Chief Executive Officer from May 2001 until May 6, 2005. In July 2000, Mr. Bass entered into an employment contract with EFTC Corporation, which we assumed as part of the business combination of EFTC Corporation and K*TEC Electronics Holding Corporation. The initial term of the agreement expired in December 2003, but automatically extended for successive one-year periods until it was terminated on May 6, 2005. The employment agreement provided for a minimum base salary of $300,000, which the committee believes was consistent with industry parameters, and incentive-based bonus compensation determined by the compensation committee. Mr. Bass received $280,200 in bonus compensation based on our company achieving certain financial performance targets established by the compensation committee. The compensation committee believes that the attributes of Mr. Bass’ compensation package provided appropriate performance-based incentives.

     Hargopal Singh has served as our President and Chief Executive Officer since May 6, 2005, when we entered into an employment agreement with him. The agreement terminates in December 2006. The employment agreement provides for a minimum base salary of $300,000, which the committee believes is consistent with industry parameters, and incentive-based bonus compensation based on our company achieving certain financial performance targets determined by the compensation committee. The compensation committee believes that the attributes of Mr. Singh’s compensation package will provide appropriate performance-based incentives.

     The compensation committee’s general philosophy with respect to the compensation of our other executive officers has been to recommend competitive compensation programs designed to attract and retain key executives critical to our long-term success and to recognize an individual’s contribution and personal performance. In addition, we have a stock option plan designed to attract and retain executive officers and other employees and to reward them for delivering long-term value to us. In fiscal year 2004 the compensation committee awarded cash bonuses to the executive officers in recognition of our company’s improved financial performance and granted stock options to certain executive officers.

     Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally disallows a federal income tax deduction to public companies for certain compensation in excess of $1 million paid to a corporation’s chief executive officer or any of its four other most highly compensated executive officers. Qualifying performance-based compensation will not be subject to the deduction limit if certain requirements are met. Our equity-based compensation plan does not satisfy these requirements as the members of our compensation committee do not satisfy the definition of an “outside director” under Section 162(m). Accordingly, the compensation income deemed to be received upon the exercise of stock options granted under the plan does not qualify as performance-based compensation and may be subject to the deduction limit. The compensation committee intends to review the potential effects of Section 162(m) periodically and in the future may decide to structure additional portions of our compensation programs in a manner designed to permit unlimited deductibility for federal income tax purposes. We are not currently subject to the limitations of Section 162(m) because none of our executive officers received compensation during 2004 in excess of $1 million.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

     During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, our compensation committee consisted of Messrs. Goettman, Walker, and Zambrano. None of these individuals had any contractual or other relationships with us during such fiscal year except as directors and those transactions discussed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.” No interlocking relationship exists between any member of our compensation committee and any member of any other company’s board of directors or compensation committee.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

     The board of directors has appointed an audit committee consisting of three directors. All members of the audit committee are able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including our balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. At least one member of the audit committee has past employment experience in financial or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background which results in the individual’s financial sophistication, including being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer, or other senior officer with financial oversight responsibility. Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Van Horne, Hermann and Sabol are “independent,” as defined by Rule 4200(a)(14) of the NASD’s listing standards.

     The primary responsibility of the audit committee is to assist our board of directors in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee management’s conduct of our financial reporting process, including overseeing the financial reports and other financial information that we submit to governmental or regulatory bodies (such as the Securities and Exchange Commission), the public, and other users thereof; our systems of internal accounting and financial controls; and the annual independent audit of our financial statements.

     Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. The independent auditors are responsible for auditing the financial statements and expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

     In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the audit committee reviewed the audited financial statements with management and the independent auditors. The audit committee discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended. This included a discussion of the auditors’ judgments as to the quality and the acceptability of the company’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the audit committee under generally accepted auditing standards. In addition, the audit committee received from the independent auditors written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1. The audit committee also discussed with the independent auditors the auditors’ independence from us and our management, including the matters covered by the written disclosures and letter provided by the independent auditors.

     The audit committee discussed with the company’s independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audits. The audit committee met with the independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their quarterly reviews and annual audits, their evaluations of the company, the internal controls, and the overall quality of the financial reporting. The audit committee met eight times, including three telephonic meetings, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

     Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors, and the board or directors approved, that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 for filing with the SEC.

     The Board of Directors has amended and restated our audit committee charter from time-to-time to reflect, among other things, the requirements of recently adopted federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new rules adopted by the SEC, and amended NASD listing standards. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter, as amended and restated, is included as Appendix A in this proxy statement. We certify that it is in compliance with Rule 4350(d)(1) of the NASD’s listing standards.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

     Our common stock has been listed on the Nasdaq National Market since March 1, 2002. Accordingly, the following graph compares, for the period from March 1, 2002 to December 31, 2004, the cumulative total stockholder return on our common stock against the cumulative total return of:

	•		the Nasdaq Composite Index; and
	•		a peer group consisting of us and six other publicly traded electronic manufacturing services companies that we have selected.

     The graph assumes $100 was invested in our common stock on March 1, 2002, the date on which our common stock became listed on the Nasdaq National Market and an investment in each of the peer group and the Nasdaq Composite Index, and the reinvestment of all dividends. The companies included in the peer group were Benchmark Electronics, Inc. (NYSE: BHE), IEC Electronics Corp. (Nasdaq NM: IECE), Jabil Circuit, Inc. (NYSE: JBL), Plexus Corp. (Nasdaq NM: PLXS), Sanmina-SCI Corporation (Nasdaq NM: SANM), and Solectron Corporation (NYSE: SLR).

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Sale/Leaseback Transaction

     Richard L. Monfort, formerly a member of our board of directors, entered into a sale/leaseback transaction with EFTC in December 1998 whereby EFTC sold manufacturing facilities located in Newberg, Oregon and Tucson, Arizona to Mr. Monfort for $10.5 million. Mr. Monfort leased these manufacturing facilities back to us for a term of five years through December 2003. The Tucson lease provided for monthly payments of $32,000 and the Newberg lease provided for monthly payments of $58,000. Honeywell International, Inc. subleased the Tucson facility under a month-to-month agreement that required monthly payments of $32,000 through expiration of the Tucson lease in December 2003. In July 2003, we renewed the Newberg lease through December 2008 at an average monthly payment of $47,000.

Thayer-Blum Management Fees

     During 2004, we incurred $750,000 for management fees to affiliates of Thayer-Blum Funding L.L.C. The services provided under this arrangement consist primarily of management and consulting services related to corporate development activities.

Purchase and Sale of Material

     For the year ended December 31, 2004, we purchased raw materials to support our production requirements for $506,000 from TTM Technologies, Inc. For the year ended December 31, 2004, we purchased raw materials to support our production requirements for $326,000 from Cosmotronic Corporation. In addition, we sold products for $300,000 to Cosmotronic Corporation during the year ended December 31, 2004. During 2004, two members of our Board of Directors served on the Boards of Directors of TTM Technologies, Inc. and Cosmotronic Corporation.

RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

     KPMG LLP served as our independent registered public accounting firm for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2004. We anticipate that representatives of KPMG LLP will be present at the meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Fees Charged By Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

     The following is a summary of fees, all of which were approved by the audit committee, billed by KPMG LLP for audit and other professional services during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2004:

		2003				2004
Audit fees		$	235,000			$	230,000
Audit-related fees			—				9,630
Income tax fees			64,839				29,164
All other fees			—				—
Total fees		$	299,839			$	268,794

     “Audit-related fees” include fees related to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. “Income tax fees” include tax return preparation and consultation on various tax-related issues.

Pre-Approval Policy for Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’s Fees

     In 2003 our Audit Committee adopted a formal policy concerning pre-approval of audit and non-audit services to be provided by our independent auditors. The policy requires that all proposed services to be provided by KPMG LLP must be pre-approved by the audit committee before any services are performed. This policy includes

all audit, tax and consulting services that KPMG LLP may provide to the Company. In evaluating whether to engage KPMG LLP for non-audit services, our Audit Committee considers whether the performance of services other than audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG LLP.

ANNUAL REPORT AND OTHER MATTERS

     We have mailed with this proxy statement a copy of our 2004 annual report to each stockholder of record as of July 29, 2005. If a stockholder requires an additional copy of our annual report, we will provide one, without charge, on the written request of any such stockholder addressed to our Secretary at Suntron Corporation, 2401 West Grandview Road, Phoenix, Arizona 85023. Any exhibits listed in the annual report also will be furnished upon written request at the actual expense we incur in furnishing such exhibit.

     Our 2004 annual report to stockholders is not incorporated into this proxy statement and is not to be considered a part of these proxy soliciting materials or subject to Regulations 14A or 14C or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The information contained in the “Report of the Compensation Committee,” “Report of the Audit Committee,” and “Performance Graph” above shall not be deemed “filed” with the SEC, or subject to Regulations 14A or 14C or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2006 ANNUAL MEETING

     We must receive stockholder proposals that are intended to be presented at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held during calendar year 2006 no later than April 20, 2006, in order to be included in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to such meeting. Pursuant to Rule 14a-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we intend to retain discretionary authority to vote proxies with respect to stockholder proposals for which the proponent does not seek to have us include the proposed matter in the proxy statement for the annual meeting to be held during calendar 2006, except in circumstances where (a) we receive notice of the proposed matter no later than April 20, 2006, and (b) the proponent complies with the requirements set forth in Rule 14a-4.

OTHER MATTERS

     As of the date of this proxy statement, we know of no matter that will be presented for consideration at the annual meeting other than the election of directors. If, however, any other matter should properly come before the annual meeting for action by stockholders, proxies in the enclosed form returned to us will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the board of directors or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in accordance with the judgment of the proxy holder.
