Full-Service Distributors: The Ultimate EV Equalizer
A full-service distributor brings a comprehensive, end-to-end approach to electric vehicle production — from fastener design to finished products to inventory management.
How? By providing service characteristics in two critical areas:
Speed
Proven experts uncover manufacturing inefficiencies and propose solutions that increase productivity, lower costs and drive innovative solutions. Services include Gemba walks, advanced product quality planning and rapid prototyping.
Prototyping
With prototyping, full-service distributors can simulate fastener and joint behavior to pinpoint the exact part you need. You can shave time and costs off the engineering process with 3D modeling.

That’s days, weeks and months Optimas can give back to your startup to invest elsewhere.
Expertise
Manufacturing requires proficiency in several disciplines — sourcing, inventory management, operations and quality, just to name a few. If your startup’s resources are limited at first, a partner can fill those gaps for you.
Fasteners, for example, constitute 1% of an EV’s cost…
but account for half its bill of materials.
