After looking deeper into this is looks highly likely that the expansion is connected to Amedica.

Not only does the PR say the following:

facility now serves as a custom-order manufacturing site specializing in high-added-value components made from advanced ceramic materials.



The timeline seems to coincide with Amedica.

7 months after this deal is announced Kyocera submits to expand its Vancouver location.

Kyocera contemplates Vancouver expansion - June 2nd, 2014

Just a few days before Amedica releases news of LOI Ortho Development deal in 2015 Kyocera expands the square footage to 18,000 sq ft.

Groundbreaking of new building occurs 1 week after Weigao announcement.

Although expected to be completed in 2016, additional square footage is added to the building which delays grand opening. Ground Opening occurred April 20th, 2017 with an additional 5,000 sq ft added to the 2016 design. Grand total of 11,500 additional sq ft was added over the from inception to completion with an additional 20 possible employees being hired moving the expected grand total to 50 from 30.
