Shanghai, China – June 1, 2011 - Cambridge Industries Group (CIG), the world’s largest independent supplier of Carrier Class Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) Optical Network Terminal (ONT) equipment to global OEMs, today announced that it has expanded its manufacturing capacity and relocated its advanced manufacturing facility from the former 64,500 square foot location to a new state-of-the-art 120,000 square foot facility in Shanghai.

“We have received very positive indications from current customers that shipments of GPON ONTs will continue to escalate as the telecommunications service providers continue to rollout their next generation fiber networks,” Dr. Gerald Wong, Chairman and CEO of CIG, stated. “This new space will help accommodate anticipated demand and enable us to ramp up quickly to meet future requirements.”

Since its founding in 2005, CIG has grown from a startup to become the industry leading supplier of Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) customer premise equipment (CPE) to Tier 1 and Tier 2 telecom equipment providers, who, in turn, market these products to the telecom carriers. CIG offers the most advanced ONTs in the industry, interoperable with practically every GPON OLT in the industry, and at the most competitive price points thanks to its in-house innovative technologies and manufacturing.

"This expansion in manufacturing capacity will allow us to ramp from our current 30,000 units per week to having the ability to ship over 100,000 units per week.” Dr. Wong further commented.  “In the past 3 years alone, our revenue has grown in excess of 300% and our customer base now includes nearly all the major Optical Line Terminal (OLT) vendors worldwide. We now have over 500 employees, including more than 140 R&D engineers, reinforcing our commitment to remaining at the forefront of this technology."

“We have built a very solid reputation among the telecom equipment providers due to our unparalleled R&D capabilities, quality and advanced manufacturing. We offer the broadest selection of Carrier Class ONT solutions for the worldwide market with over 50 GPON ONT models in production today. We believe that our ability to bring products to market faster and more cost effectively than traditional providers is evidenced by our growing client list and repeat business.”
