Trusted global manufacturing leader mitigates tariff challenges, boosts business scalability, and meets surging demand for top-tier, complex production services

Fictiv, a global leader in supply chain and manufacturing has unveiled a significant expansion of its capabilities with the introduction of its Manufacturing & Supply Chain Solutions. Fictiv combines global engineering expertise across four manufacturing centers in the U.S., Mexico, India, and China with its advanced Supply Chain Platform to deliver end-to-end solutions, including design guidance, supplier selection, rapid prototyping, strategic sourcing, manufacturing planning, production, assembly, quality assurance, and logistics, allowing enterprises to seamlessly scale from prototype to production.

"Our expanded suite of manufacturing and supply chain solutions enables organizations to scale globally without the typical barriers of cost, resources, and risk," says Dave Evans, Co-Founder and CEO of Fictiv. "By leveraging Fictiv's AI technology-backed platform and four global manufacturing centers, companies can seamlessly access high-quality production, optimize supply chain logistics, and mitigate tariffs. This is the future of agile, resilient manufacturing at a global scale."

This new AI-driven supply chain platform integrates intelligence, automation, and quality control throughout the lifecycle, dynamically routing production, optimizing Design for Manufacturability (DFM), and proactively mitigating tariff risks. Fictiv offers an end-to-end digital infrastructure for sourcing custom mechanical components across aerospace, robotics, clean energy, consumer, and automotive sectors, streamlining the entire product and manufacturing lifecycle. With robust IP protection measures, including secure digital infrastructure and vetted manufacturing partners, Fictiv safeguards sensitive designs and proprietary information at every stage.

"At Lunar Energy, our mission is to power homes around the world with endless clean energy and backup protection when the grid goes down," said Mark Rohan, VP of Operations at Lunar Energy. "We operate at a very dynamic pace as we scale our business and we struggled with many suppliers to meet the dynamic pace of moving from prototype to production. We were quoted 20 weeks from large Contract Manufacturers and Fictiv was able to deliver production-quality parts in six to eight weeks. The supplier network that Fictiv has onboarded is incredibly impressive, we got to see it first hand and met the people who are building out tools and saw their quality processes, we can really trust Fictiv."

Building on over a decade of expertise working with R&D teams, this enhanced suite of services eliminates traditional supply chain barriers, helping businesses scale efficiently while expanding gross margins and mitigating risk—providing enterprises with the adaptability they desperately require.
