Gapwaves CEO Jonas Ehinger comments: “2025 has started strong with a revenue increase of 46% to 22.8 MSEK compared to the first quarter of last year. In an uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, we continue to show strong growth. New development orders from both existing and new Tier-1 customers confirm that the transition to waveguide technology is progressing, driving our growth. Our flexible production model, which enables large-scale series production with the help of certified production partners in various regions, is particularly important in the ongoing regionalization of the world economy. This flexibility is a clear strength and a major competitive advantage. In summary, I am very pleased with the start of a transformative year, which marks a milestone for Gapwaves as we begin our own production in the Automotive segment.”
