Poised for Growth

Facilities Expansion

Kimball Electronics is expanding its global manufacturing and warehousing facilities to meet the growing demand from both existing and new customers.

Doubling our Manufacturing Capacity in Mexico
Our most recent manufacturing capacity expansion took place in Reynosa, Mexico, where we completed the construction of a new facility, Kimball Electronics—Mexico #2, in late June. We are leveraging our existing expertise to support the new facility but will be adding key talent to both facilities to support expected growth in Mexico as we service our customers in North America. The two facilities will operate as a single entity and will share leadership in key positions. Presently, Kimball Electronics— Mexico #1 has 230,000 square feet of floor space, while the new facility has more than doubled our manufacturing capacity by adding 240,000 square feet to our footprint in Reynosa, Mexico.

Our Customer’s Success is Our Success
We regard our customers as partners, and integral to all successful partnerships is a willingness to collaborate. The expertise we deliver results in more success for our customers which, in turn, helps drive our growth. In fiscal year 2022, we made significant progress in expanding our manufacturing and warehousing capacity in North America, Europe, and Asia to ensure Kimball Electronics’ ability to support the long-term needs of our customer base across the globe. Our capacity expansion is underway in all three of our major geographic regions and will positively impact customers in our four End Market Verticals of Automotive, Medical, Industrial, and Public Safety.

Expanding Our Footprint in Thailand
The fiscal year 2022 expansion project for Kimball Electronics— Thailand has more than doubled the capacity of our manufacturing facility. The new construction includes a 2-floor factory and a 3-floor office that increased manufacturing floor space by 61,400 square feet, representing a 114% increase from our current manufacturing floor space. Additionally, the new building increased our warehouse space by 21,500 square feet, a 133% increase, to support our upper-level assembly business. The new building also includes an in-house calibration laboratory, failure analysis laboratory, cleanliness test and tooling shop, and clean room space up to 200 m², class 7 or 8 for Medical manufacturing.

“Our team is excited to more than double our manufacturing capacity in order to welcome new customers and to grow with our current customers in Thailand.”

New Business Drives Growth in Poland
The most recent facility expansion initiated in fiscal year 2022 is that of our Poland manufacturing facility. This expansion reflects our success in winning new business in Europe where additional capacity is needed for programs with new and existing customers. We will add approximately 40% more production square footage to the existing site, where we will leverage existing management and manufacturing expertise to support the growth but anticipate adding key talent to support future growth.
