Toronto automated wire harness factory (YC F24, 2024); 99% yields and 2x throughput from AI robotics targeting $200B manual harness market; ex-Tesla/Ericsson founders competing with Komax for EV and aerospace automation.
About
Loombotic is a Toronto, Ontario-based manufacturing automation company — backed by Y Combinator (Fall 2024 cohort) — building the world's first fully automated wire harness factory using AI-driven robotics to deliver precision wire harnesses in as little as 7 days for electric vehicle, aerospace, data center, and industrial automation customers. Founded in 2024 by CEO Ethan Breit (programming since age 8, former Ericsson embedded systems developer) and CTO Lucas Crupi (youngest SolidWorks expert at age 15, former Tesla Cybertruck battery design engineer), the founding team first met at the Canada Wide Science Fair and built together for six years before launching Loombotic. The 4-person company has achieved 99% manufacturing yields and 2x throughput improvements through lean manufacturing and Six Sigma methodologies applied to automated wire harness production, targeting the $200+ billion global wire harness market that has resisted automation despite advances in other manufacturing sectors.
