Gapwaves initiates production start for Valeo
Series production of Gapwaves’ waveguide antennas for Valeo at the production facility in Gothenburg has begun. The antenna is intended for Valeo’s new vehicle radar for applications within advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and is based on Gapwaves’ patented Multi-Layer Waveguide technology.
The production start (SOP) began last week at Gapwaves’ production facility in Gothenburg. The first series delivery to Valeo was made on July 1. The production will then be transferred to Gapwaves’ production partner Frencken Group in China for full-scale, automated series production under Gapwaves’ management.
The production facility in Gothenburg was inaugurated in November 2024. There, Gapwaves’ scalable production processes are developed, tested, and validated to then be transferred to production partners worldwide for high-volume production. The facility also represents a crucial step towards becoming a certified supplier of waveguide antennas to the automotive industry according to the IATF 16949 quality management system.
