The largest western IoT player to onshore manufacturing of cellular modules and products in the U.S. with production starting in October 2026
- Pennsylvania facility: New manufacturing facility in the heart of the nation’s largest defense industrial complex establishes domestic production capacity to support critical infrastructure customers, advance America’s technology manufacturing base, and create local jobs.
- Location is key: Pennsylvania supports Telit Cinterion’s position as the leading IoT module vendor to critical national infrastructure, defense and mission-critical applications globally.
- First in industry: Telit Cinterion is bringing its pioneering trusted and secure technology, developed over 30 years in the U.S. and allied nations, to be manufactured domestically.
Boca Raton, Fla., September 2, 2026 — Telit Cinterion, a global Internet of Things (IoT) enabler, today announced that it is expanding its global manufacturing apparatus by adding operations in the United States. From the new facility in Bristol, Pennsylvania, starting in October 2026, Telit Cinterion will serve the American and global markets with cellular 4G and 5G IoT modules, and OEM customer products such as routers and gateways.
The 8,000 square-foot facility will house manufacturing, testing, and quality assurance. Support functions, including engineering and supply chain, will be supported by the company’s existing offices in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, and Boca Raton, Florida. The first phase of the initiative is expected to create at least 50 high-value jobs.
The start of U.S. production marks the first phase of Telit Cinterion’s long-term commitment to expanding domestic capabilities. The new operation establishes a foundation for continued investment in U.S. manufacturing, workforce development, and supply chain resiliency.
“The Bristol facility represents an important step in strengthening trusted technology supply chains and increasing domestic manufacturing capacity for IoT-connected devices and AI-enabled solutions,” said Paolo Dal Pino, Telit Cinterion CEO. “It onshores our trusted manufacturing capability designed to provide U.S. and global customers with greater traceability, quality assurance, operational resilience, and greater supply chain transparency that aligns with new regulations in the U.S. and western countries.”

2. How will manufacturing operate in the United States?
The Bristol operation is being established with MFG Innovations, which will provide a time-tested local electronics assembly infrastructure and capabilities. Telit Cinterion will remain responsible for the products, technology, specifications, quality requirements, supply chain controls and customer relationships. Selected Telit Cinterion products will be assembled and tested at the site.
3. Why is Telit Cinterion working with MFG Innovations?
Partnering with an experienced U.S. manufacturer gives Telit Cinterion a practical and efficient way to add domestic production capacity quickly. MFG Innovations brings established infrastructure, technical capabilities and experienced workforce resources that can operate to Telit Cinterion requirements for quality, traceability, security and control.
4. Is the Bristol operation a Telit Cinterion facility?
The Bristol operation is part of Telit Cinterion’s global manufacturing network and will operate through partnership with MFG Innovations. Products assembled at the site will be built and tested to Telit Cinterion specifications and quality requirements. Telit Cinterion remains fully accountable for its products and customer commitments.
5. Who is MFG Innovations?
MFG Innovations is a U.S. electronics manufacturing company with operations in Bristol, Pennsylvania. The company provides electronics assembly, testing and related production services. Telit Cinterion selected MFG Innovations to support the launch of the Bristol operation.
6. What does “trusted manufacturing” mean?
Trusted manufacturing means providing customers with greater regulatory-compliant transparency, traceability, accountability and quality assurance across manufacturing and product lifecycle processes. For Telit Cinterion, this includes controlled product specifications, manufacturing requirements, firmware processes, testing, quality validation and supply chain oversight.
7. Does “trusted manufacturing” start only now with U.S. production?
Telit Cinterion already applies trusted manufacturing principles across its global network. These include control of product specifications, manufacturing requirements, firmware processes, testing, quality validation and supply chain oversight. Bristol gives customers a U.S.-based production option governed by those same standards.
8. Does U.S. manufacturing mean every component is made in the United States?
No. Like other modern electronics products, Telit Cinterion products rely on a global component supply chain. In Bristol, selected products will undergo U.S.-based assembly, testing, quality assurance, provisioning and product validation using components from trusted qualified suppliers in Telit Cinterion’s global supply chain. Any product-origin or manufacturing statements will accurately reflect the work performed in the United States and the applicable requirements.
9. What products will be manufactured in Bristol?
The initial product scope is expected to include selected 4G and 5G cellular IoT modules, along with customer products such as routers and gateways. Additional products may be added as demand and production readiness develop.
10. How will customers benefit?
Customers will have an additional domestic production option backed by the same product requirements and trusted supply chain controls used across Telit Cinterion’s global network. This may be especially relevant for customers with U.S.-based production, sourcing, security or regulatory requirements.
11. Is Telit Cinterion replacing its existing global manufacturing network?
No. Bristol adds to the company’s existing global manufacturing and logistics network. This broader footprint gives Telit Cinterion more flexibility to meet customer requirements, manage supply chain risk and support continuity of supply.
12. Why is Telit Cinterion investing in U.S. manufacturing now?
Some customers, government agencies and critical infrastructure operators are seeking a U.S.-based production option alongside established global supply chains. Bristol allows Telit Cinterion to meet that need and provides a base for additional U.S. capabilities over time.
13. How is Telit Cinterion’s approach different from other cellular IoT module suppliers?
Telit Cinterion brings together Western-developed cellular IoT technology, an established intellectual property portfolio, global manufacturing experience and decades of work in demanding industrial and critical infrastructure applications.
