California Manufacturing Highlights Edwards Lifesciences Irvine-based Edwards Lifesciences is the global leader in the science of heart valves and blood flow monitoring. More than 300,000 valve replacements are performed worldwide each year through openheart surgery, utilizing either synthetic tissue valves or mechanical valves—many manufactured by Edwards Lifesciences. Since its beginnings in Orange County more than 50 years ago, Edwards Lifesciences has grown into a global company with a presence in approximately 100 countries and 8,500 employees worldwide. Its domestic manufacturing locations include facilities in Irvine and in Draper, Utah. The company has several other global locations in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Singapore, and Switzerland. DAQRI Los Angeles-based startup DAQRI is applying its digital sensing and augmented reality products in industrial applications to improve training and quality control. DAQRI’s “smart helmet”—which utilizes a transparent visor and special lenses that serve as a display, along with an array of cameras and sensors that help users navigate and gather information about their environment—is being used to empower manufacturing workers, oil rig employees, firefighters, and others with access to real-time metrics and instructions without the need for a tablet or monitor. Cepheid Sunnyvale-based Cepheid, a fast-growing medical diagnostic company with roots at UC Berkeley, develops products that can rapidly test for tuberculosis, socially transmitted diseases, influenza and specific types of cancer. With more than 1,700 employees, it manufactures in Sunnyvale, Lodi and Solna, Sweden. Production is expanding in Lodi, where the company plans to grow its workforce from 230 to approximately 500 in the next few years. Finelite Headquartered in Union City, Finelite focuses on the design and manufacture of high-performance, environmentally sustainable LED and fluorescent lighting systems for office, healthcare, and educational facilities. Its customers range from firms like Google, Verizon, and Dell, to universities such as MIT, Stanford, and Yale. Finelite’s 182,000 square foot manufacturing facility is capable of assembling over 20,000 linear feet of lighting fixtures per day. Operating in California for 24 years, the company taps into technologies created in Silicon Valley and collaborates with the California Energy Commission to develop lighting products to meet new efficiency standards. The company employs 270 people in Union City and has over 1,000 California employees spread across a metal fabricator operation in Los Angeles and a highspeed painting location in Livermore. Holding joint patents with the California Lighting Technology Center at the University of California, Davis, in 2011, Finelite created several application guides to show how to cut energy usage in half without compromising lighting quality—solutions that enhance productivity and move toward net zero energy use. Keystone Engineering Keystone Engineering was founded in 1907 as one of the first companies in Los Angeles to offer welding services. Today, the company employs 42 people and has evolved into a world leader in the design and fabrication of engineered products used in critical aerospace and defense applications. Keystone designs and produces lightweight propellant and pressure storage tanks, as well as unique fabrication and design technologies for propellant storage. These products are used in the International Space Station, satellites, suborbital unmanned aerial vehicles, and in other space and stratospheric explorations. With the expansion of its 57,000 square foot Long Beach facility, Keystone is growing to meet customer needs for the new generation of spacecraft.
