Gapwaves officially opens pilot-line production facility
We announced the opening of our pilot-line production facility in Gothenburg, which serves as a production and industrialization hub. This strategic investment is a key step in our journey to become a certified supplier of waveguide antennas to the automotive market, while expanding production capacity to meet the demands of customers in other market segments.
The pilot line includes the assembly and testing of Injection Molded Waveguide (IMW) and Multi-Layer Waveguide (MLW) antennas, developed by Gapwaves for our partners and customers.
Beyond its production capabilities, the facility functions as an industrialization hub, where scalable production processes are developed and validated before being transferred to our qualified high-volume production partners worldwide. This approach not only benefits us and our customers but also enhances manufacturing know-how, providing a significant competitive edge.
The facility is designed to achieve an annual production capacity of up to 300,000 antennas. The new facility also enables us to shorten the time between order and delivery while ensuring very high quality. We now have the possibility to quickly scale up manufacturing for high-volume orders. The facility is also pivotal to obtain the IATF certification, which is required for suppliers to customers in the automotive industry. Our goal is to obtain this certification in 2025.
