Fabrinet, a provider of foundry services to optical component, module, and subsystem OEMs announced today completed construction of a 300,000+ square foot addition to its Pinehurst optical manufacturing complex, near Bangkok, Thailand, and commenced operations at the new factory. Completed on time and on-budget, the factory brings Fabrinet’s global manufacturing capacity to over one million square feet.
The new facility will be used to serve increasing demand for the company’s complex engineering and manufacturing services for optical communications and other opto-mechanical and opto-electronic markets, including positioning sensors, automotive and medical devices.
The new factory’s modular infrastructure will accommodate numerous assembly lines, each of which may be customized environmentally to support Class 100,000 to Class 100 Clean Rooms as well as a variety of humidification and electro-static discharge requirements for high precision opto-electronic manufacturing. Additionally, the factory will accommodate Fabrinet’s customer-specific “factory within a factory” operations, ensuring IP security and adherence to each customer’s desired manufacturing processes.
“We’re pleased to have been able to respond so quickly to increased capacity demands from our customers,” said Harpal Gill, executive vice president of operations for Fabrinet. “Our new state-of-the-art factory is equipped and staffed to focus on our unique offering of complex high-mix, low to medium volume manufacturing.”
