![]() For the past decade, Luminar has built an advanced hardware and software platform to enable its more than 50 industry partners, including the majority of global automotive OEMs. Luminar is a global automotive technology company ushering in a new era of vehicle safety and autonomy. ![]() Luminar expects to establish the next phase of its capacity installation in the Asia Pacific region, and will report continued progress during its first-quarter business update on May 9, 2023. The company is actively planning ahead to ensure future capacity to support next generation products and capitalize on continuous improvements in the design for manufacturability of its sensors. Luminar has established a global manufacturing footprint that spans the United States, Mexico and Thailand. Celestica also operates an existing low-volume production line for Luminar in a separate facility in Monterrey, Mexico. The new facility is now scheduled to complete a rigorous validation process throughout the second half of 2023 to meet automakers’ standards and requirements for large-scale, global vehicle launches. The company brought this new high volume line online in conjunction with Celestica at the end of Q1, ahead of prior guidance provided at Luminar day for a Q2 start, which was a pull-ahead from the company’s original second half of 2023 timeline. The facility features 40,000 square feet of cleanroom space that meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) specifications.Ĭelestica is also in the process of building an additional 200,000 square feet extension to the dedicated facility for Luminar, which will enable state-of-the-art testing for performance and quality and will provide the flexibility for future capacity expansion into the millions of sensors annually.Ĭonstruction of the dedicated facility began in July of 2022 and high volume line installation began in December of last year. This new facility measures 118,000 square feet and will have initial capacity for up to 250,000 sensors per year, expandable to approximately 500,000 sensors per year. The new dedicated facility for high-volume production of Luminar’s sensors is operated by Celestica, a leader in design, manufacturing, and supply chain solutions. "This enables an increase in capacity by well over an order of magnitude as compared to our existing, manual line to meet our growing automaker requirements on volume." The successful bring-up of the automated factory is a major milestone and continues to show we can execute," said Austin Russell, Founder and CEO of Luminar. ![]() "Industrialization is the fundamental challenge to enable and scale with our high volume series production wins. ![]() The new dedicated facility for high-volume production of Luminar’s sensors is operated in Monterrey, Mexico by Celestica, a leader in design, manufacturing, and supply chain solutions. ![]()
