As the demand for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure grows, international companies are looking to establish a presence in the United States with US-made products. One such company, already a leader in the EV charging market outside the US, sought to expand its reach by manufacturing its charging stations domestically.

To achieve this goal while maintaining high-quality standards and production efficiency, they turned to DeWys Metal Solutions for a complete manufacturing and finishing solution.

US Metal Fabrication Company

The Challenge

Expanding into the US market posed several challenges for the EV charging station company. They needed a trusted US-based manufacturer that could meet stringent quality standards, ensure regulatory compliance, and offer a scalable production solution. Additionally, producing a domestically manufactured product was a key requirement to align with government incentives and industry expectations.

The company sought a manufacturing partner who could not only fabricate the necessary components but also provide full-service finishing, including painting and assembly, ensuring a streamlined production process. DeWys Metal Solutions’ reputation for end-to-end metal fabrication and finishing made it the ideal choice.
