BANGKOK -- Fabrinet is expanding its plant in California and will add services in Israel to accommodate customer demand, the company's chief executive said on Monday.

Seamus Grady told analysts that the EMS is in the "early stages" of plans to build an NPI plant in Israel.

It also is expanding its advanced packaging capabilities at Fabrinet West in San Francisco to further strengthen NPI manufacturing for new and emerging technology-based products, such as LIDAR, 3-D sensing and laser-based lighting products for the automotive industry, he said.

Fabrinet has grown to over $1.4 billion in revenue, mostly on the backs of optical networking customers such as Lumentumat and Oclaro, which make up nearly one-quarter of its sales, but Grady said the firm is making "continued progress" in industrial lasers and automotive, and has also won a number of medical programs.
