HAUPPAUGE, NY— Orbic Electronics Manufacturing LLC is building a new facility here to reshore production from China and India. The $110 million investment is “in response to global supply chain challenges and increasing demand for domestically produced technology.”
Orbic builds a variety of 4G and 5G connected devices, including laptop computers, routers, smartphones, smart watches and tablets. The company plans to renovate and retrofit an existing 69,500-square-foot facility and add an additional 75,000-square-feet of production space. Completion of construction and start of manufacturing is expected in early 2026.
The new facility will be designed to manufacture up to 5 million consumer electronic devices annually. Once complete, the advanced manufacturing center will feature state-of-the-art surface mount technology lines, automated testing stations, precision assembly lines and cleanroom environments to support high-volume production.
"This project marks an exciting milestone for Orbic and a powerful step forward for high-tech manufacturing on Long Island and New York State,” says Mike Narula, CEO of Orbic. “This effort underscores our commitment to producing high-quality, American-made technology while supporting local vendors and strengthening the regional economy by bringing more than 1,000 new manufacturing jobs to the region from overseas.”
According to Narula, a key component of Orbic’s investment is its focus on local workforce development to “ensure a robust pipeline of skilled talent for its operations.” The company plans to work with Suffolk County Community College and Queensborough Community College to create specialized training programs focused on advanced electronics manufacturing, including circuit board assembly, quality control and testing procedures.
