Senra Systems has secured $65 million in new funding to expand production of wire harnesses used in US aerospace and defense programs.
The Series B funding round brings the California-based company’s total capital raised to more than $112 million. According to Senra, the new funding will help expand production capacity and support construction of a third factory as demand continues to grow.
The company opened its second factory in Cypress, California in January. The facility is expected to increase production from roughly 1,000 wire harnesses per month to 10,000 by next year.
Senra manufactures complex wire harnesses for aircraft, spacecraft, launch vehicles, satellites, and defense systems. Often described as the electrical nervous system of advanced platforms, wire harnesses connect power and data across military and aerospace equipment.
The company also plans to further develop its proprietary manufacturing software platform, Amp, which integrates engineering, production, supply chain management, and manufacturing workflows.
Senra CEO Jordan Black said wire harness manufacturing remains one of the industry’s biggest production bottlenecks because much of the work still relies on manual assembly and fragmented engineering processes.
“We started Senra to solve one of the most overlooked, but consequential bottlenecks in the aerospace and defense ecosystem,” he said.
US Defense Manufacturing Capacity Expands
Senra’s expansion comes as the US defense industry increases investments in manufacturing capacity to address supply chain bottlenecks and accelerate weapons production.
In June, Allen Control Systems raised $200 million to expand manufacturing capacity, accelerate deployment of its Bullfrog autonomous weapon station, and support the development of additional products.
In March, Hadrian announced plans to build a new factory in Alabama after securing $2.4 billion in funding. The facility will manufacture components for Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarines and Columbia-class ballistic missile submarines.
Earlier, in February, Overland AI secured $100 million to scale production and deployment of its autonomous ground vehicle technologies for the US Army, Marine Corps, and US Special Operations Command, supporting broader adoption of robotic systems across the military.
