Hidden Costs and Challenges of Offshore Battery Pack Manufacturing

Battery pack manufacturing has become a strategic priority across various industries, including medical and industrial equipment, defense, and transportation. To reduce unit pricing, many companies turn to offshore battery pack manufacturing without fully accounting for the downstream impacts. What often starts as a cost-saving decision can introduce hidden expenses tied to logistics, compliance, quality, and long-term supply chain risk.

Navigating UL and CSA Standards for Flexible Heaters Used in Industrial Equipment

In this webinar, we will look beyond piece price to examine the real costs and operational challenges associated with offshore battery pack manufacturing. Topics will include extended lead times, freight and tariff exposure, communication barriers, regulatory hurdles, and quality control concerns that can affect both short-term projects and long-term product roadmaps.

We will also focus on practical ways engineering, sourcing, and product teams can evaluate offshore manufacturing decisions more effectively. Gain insight into how early design involvement, clear documentation, and closer manufacturing partnerships can help reduce risk, control total cost, and improve overall product reliability.
