Varroc Lighting have opened a new electronics development centre in Nový Jičín, Czechia. It’s got capacity for up to 100 electrical engineers, and will serve as the company’s global research and development hub. The centre represents an investment of nearly a million Euros in boosting the supplier’s pace of innovation and developments in electronics for major automakers.
Varroc Lighting Systems VP Todd C. Morgan says, “The number of electronic components in the automotive lighting segment is growing rapidly and Varroc has to respond”, adding that the new centre will allow Varroc engineers “to develop, innovate, and test new electronics products and software without having to outsource external lab services and […] respond to our customers’ requirements more flexibly”.
The 1,000-m2 facility includes an EMC laboratory with anechoic chamber. Varroc obtained funding from the 2016 Support for Science and Research in the Moravian-Silesian Region subsidy program.
