Ewgeco, the creator of industry leading live energy efficiency monitor, announced the signing of manufacturing agreement with global tier 1 electronics sub-contract manufacturing giant, Jabil Circuit Ltd, in a move designed to prepare the company to scale its business.
At present, Ewgeco systems are entirely made in the UK and protective of this badge, all products will be built by Jabil’s factory in Livingston, Scotland where there is a team of people experienced in working with fast growth companies.
However, one of the key drivers for Ewgeco awarding the manufacturing contract to Jabil is the company’s global manufacturing capability and ability to distribute some of the production load to other facilities at short notice should demand require it.
George McGhee, Chief Executive of Ewgeco, said: “Whilst we are very proud of our designed and manufactured in the UK credentials, we know that a single contract, from a single utility, in a single market anywhere in the world could change the scale of our business overnight by tens of thousands of units per month.
‘It is therefore vital that our manufacturing partner is someone who can rapidly deploy upside capacity by off-shoring some or all of our requirements and delivering back to us the commercial benefits of the associated economies of scale. It was for these expediencies that we chose Jabil who have a solid track record of doing just that.”
