Manufacturing
We manufacture and assemble our systems and products at our operational facilities in Israel, the U.S., Europe, Brazil and Australia and at the facilities of certain of our subsidiaries in other countries. These facilities contain warehouses, electronic manufacturing areas, mechanical workshops, final assembly and test stations with test equipment. We also have supporting infrastructure including fully automated surface mount technology lines and clean rooms for electro-optic components, solid state components integration, environmental testing and final testing, including space simulation and thermal chambers. We also have computerized logistics systems for managing manufacturing and material supply. We are in an advanced stage of integrating new manufacturing execution systems across our manufacturing plants, to enhance optimization, controlled decision making and Industrial Internet of Things implementation. A number of our manufacturing activities are provided on a shared services basis by several of our in-house centers of excellence.
As part of our global Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy, we conduct environmentally friendly manufacturing activities and ongoing measurements to reduce electricity, water and fuel consumption. We invest in technological solutions in our manufacturing processes that support environmental protection, such as the type of energy utilization and choice of components and materials.
We also manufacture and assemble composite materials, metal parts and machinery. One of our Israeli subsidiaries has a high technology semiconductor manufacturing facility where it performs electronic integration and assembly of thermal imaging detectors and laser diodes. We also manufacture and repair test equipment.
We manufacture commercial avionics and aircraft components, as well as perform maintenance, repair and overhaul at our U.S. FAA-registered facilities in the U.S., Europe and Israel. We also manufacture medical equipment at U.S. FDA-registered facilities in the U.S.
As part of our efforts to protect our employees while maintaining business continuity during the “Swords of Iron” war, we have relocated some of our production lines from facilities in areas of the country that have been evacuated to other facilities.
