Description: CLS Celestica December 17, 2025
Celestica Inc. (NYSE:CLS) is a Toronto-based provider of end-to-end supply-chain and manufacturing services, operating globally across Asia, North America and other regions. The firm serves original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and cloud-centric service providers, delivering design-to-delivery capabilities that span product development, component sourcing, electronics manufacturing, testing, systems integration, logistics, and after-market support.
Its operations are organized into two segments: Advanced Technology Solutions, which focuses on high-mix, high-value manufacturing for aerospace & defense, industrial equipment, and HealthTech; and Connectivity & Cloud Solutions, which targets hyperscalers, communications, and enterprise cloud infrastructure providers. The company also offers hardware platform services, including open-source software customization and IT asset disposition.
Key performance indicators from FY 2023 show $5.1 billion in revenue, a 4.2 % operating margin, and double-digit growth in the Connectivity & Cloud segment driven by rising demand for data-center hardware and semiconductor shortages that have heightened the value of resilient supply-chain partners. Macro-level drivers include the global shift toward cloud computing, increased defense spending, and the ongoing re-shoring of critical electronics manufacturing.
