HRL Laboratories opens new manufacturing plant in Camarillo
HRL Laboratories, a company that develops new technologies for the defense, automotive and aerospace industries, is expanding its reach into Camarillo. Announced April 28, HRL has officially opened its new advanced research and manufacturing facility in Camarillo.
The 60,000-square-foot facility houses state-of-the-art labs, cleanrooms, high-bay and office space, and enhances HRL’s fabrication and in-house testing capabilities.
“This facility represents a major leap forward for HRL,” said Raphael Ricardo, General Manager, Vision Systems Laboratory at HRL. “By consolidating design, fabrication and testing under one roof, we’re streamlining development, improving efficiency and reinforcing our commitment to excellence in delivering IR hardware.”
This expansion strengthens HRL’s position as a key player in space-grade IR technology and supports the U.S. Government’s need for a more resilient supply chain, the company said in a press release. Designed from the ground up to support long-term growth, the Camarillo site was master-planned to meet the evolving needs of the industry. By integrating processes in a controlled environment, HRL remains focused on accelerating developments while ensuring compliance with AS9100 standards.
HRL will also be transitioning its Molecular Beam Epitaxy technology from Malibu to Camarillo, further centralizing operations and facilitating advancements in semiconductor research.
Founded in 1960, HRL’s headquarters is in Malibu and the company has another location in Calabasas.
