Strategic Collaboration Aims to Tariff-Proof Manufacturing for U.S. OEMs<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAN FRANCISCO, April 8, 2025 \u2014 Fictiv, a global supply chain solutions leader, has created a strategic partnership with EVCO Plastics, a leading custom plastics and contract manufacturer, to revolutionize injection molding services. This alliance combines Fictiv\u2019s digitally connected global supply chain with EVCO\u2019s extensive manufacturing capabilities, enabling customers to efficiently bring innovations from concept to scale production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership leverages EVCO\u2019s vast manufacturing resources, including over 1 million square feet of manufacturing space, hundreds of injection molding machines – including press sizes as big as 4,400 tons – and a relentless focus on continuous improvement. It also combines deep expertise in design for manufacturability (DFM), AI, human-powered materials data and insights, program management, and global logistics. All aim to mitigate tariff concerns and deliver a highly resilient, fully managed supply chain to OEMs across multiple industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexico\u2019s emerging ecosystem, which supports highly engineered products, is still in its formative stages and, as a result, quite fragmented. Navigating the landscape can be challenging, especially for tooling and specialized secondary processes. Fictiv streamlines and mitigates these complexities, allowing OEMs to do more with less, improve material sourcing, and lower BOM costs. For example, innovative solutions like Fictiv GlobalFlex integrate tooling inserts produced in China and run in next-generation manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Mexico. This synergy enhances gross margins, accelerates production timelines, and elevates customer experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fictiv\u2019s collaboration with EVCO supports the entire product lifecycle, encompassing 3D printing, injection molding, assembly, testing, and packaging. Advanced capabilities include overmolding, gas-assist molding, in-mold decorating, and liquid silicone rubber (LSR) production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numerous certifications, including ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485, IATF 16949, and FDA compliance, back the partnership, ensuring quality and reliability throughout the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur partnership with EVCO marks a crucial step in simplifying global manufacturing supply chains,\u201d said Dave Evans, Co-Founder and CEO of Fictiv. \u201cTogether, we can reduce the overall number of suppliers and \u2018papercuts\u2019 involved in managing multiple suppliers to deliver efficiency and predictability in an unpredictable world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlos Gonzales, head of EVCO Plastics de Mexico, added, \u201cFictiv\u2019s capabilities allow us to concentrate on manufacturing excellence while Fictiv tackles the complex workflow and supply chain challenges that impact OEM margins. It\u2019s the best of both worlds coming together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fictiv-EVCO collaboration aims to provide scalable, tailored solutions, underscoring a shared commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability in the manufacturing sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
