History and when Celestica Inc. was founded
Celestica’s origins trace back to IBM’s Canadian operations in the 1960s and 1970s, which supported the company’s internal manufacturing needs. In 1994, IBM reorganized part of its manufacturing structure into a separate enterprise, forming the basis for what would become Celestica Inc.
This transition occurred amid a global shift toward outsourced manufacturing, as technology companies pursued flexible production models and focused more heavily on product development.
In the late 1990s, Celestica expanded aggressively through acquisitions of manufacturing operations from multiple technology firms. Its initial public offering (IPO) in 1998 enabled investments in production capacity, engineering capabilities and international expansion. By the early 2000s, Celestica had established itself as one of the leading EMS providers worldwide.
Throughout the 2000s, the company underwent strategic restructuring to align with shifts in the global electronics market. These changes included portfolio adjustments, consolidation of manufacturing sites and a shift toward higher-value, complex solutions, including aerospace, defense and healthcare technologies. This repositioning enabled Celestica to transition from a volume-driven model to one focused on technical sophistication and quality.
Between 2020 and 2024, Celestica expanded into high-performance computing, renewable-energy solutions, digital infrastructure and advanced industrial systems. The company invested in automation, process digitalization, engineering expansion and new strategic partnerships.
Despite global supply-chain disruptions, Celestica strengthened its competitive position by leveraging operational flexibility, diversified market exposure and technical depth.
