via Business Wire

Continental Electronics Corporation (CEC), an OSI Systems company and a global leader in mission-critical radio frequency (RF) and microwave technologies, today announced the expansion of its U.S. manufacturing footprint with a newly constructed, state-of-the-art facility in Richardson, Texas. This investment marks a major milestone in the company’s continued growth and its long-standing commitment to advanced manufacturing excellence across North Texas.

For more than 79 years, CEC has operated from Dallas-area locations, supporting federal, defense, scientific, and commercial customers worldwide. The new Richardson facility significantly increases production capacity, enhances operational efficiency, and positions the company for long-term innovation in critical RF systems, high-reliability components, and next-generation technologies.

Josh Fults, VP of Operations for CEC says, “This move represents CEC’s commitment to excellence on two fronts:

  • A commitment to meet the vital demands of our customers, ensuring we remain their trusted supplier of choice
  • A commitment to provide our people with an industry-leading facility that will elevate our tenured staff as well as attract the next generation of talent”

CEC selected Richardson after a comprehensive site evaluation process. The City of Richardson demonstrated exceptional partnership and support for the project, working closely with CEC to ensure a smooth transition and strong future investment in the region.

With this expansion, CEC will:

  • Increase its manufacturing and engineering capacity to meet rising domestic and global demand for advanced RF, microwave, and mission critical systems
  • Strengthen collaboration between engineering, R&D, and production teams
  • Support regional workforce growth through creating demand for high-skill, high-tech jobs

The new Richardson facility will serve as a hub for innovation across the company’s core markets, including national defense, scientific research, communications infrastructure, and critical government programs.

CEC began a phased transition into the new facility in October of 2025, with full operations expected during 2026.
