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’s digitally connected global supply chain with EVCO’s extensive manufacturing capabilities, enabling customers to efficiently bring innovations from concept to scale production.
The partnership leverages EVCO’s 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.

Mexico’s 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.
Fictiv‘s 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.
