200. Niche Manufacturing in the AV Market & Beyond

Some mobility and energy products are not well suited for heavily automated production—and that’s where Edison Manufacturing and Engineering comes in.
.
As a low volume contract manufacturing partner, Edison is focused on capital-light assembly of complex mobility and energy products—everything from AVs to EVs to hydrogen systems to conventional vehicles. The company’s production approach is capital-conscious and intentional, resulting in a high-quality manufacturing process for low volume and niche builds.
.
We sat down with Brandon Bartneck, Vice President and General Manager, Edison Manufacturing and Engineering, to discuss the how low volume manufacturing will play a critical role in the future of mobility as companies introduce new products, launch new technologies, and produce legacy products in volumes below their standard production.
