A transition as significant as internal combustion engine( ICE) to EV would normally encourage immediate investment in infrastructure, services and workforces; however, whilst the initial wave of investment was strong, recent trends show a more cautious and strategic approach from industry leaders.

Aside from EV, there are various technological advancements appearing within the industry which Evtec is embracing, allowing it to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to innovation. Kevin adds:“ We are committed to continuous improvement through the research and adoption of advanced manufacturing equipment and techniques. A recent example is the successful implementation of a camera-based Poka-Yoke system, which ensures accurate identification of OK / NOK finished assemblies. Additionally, our active participation in industry events enables us to stay ahead of emerging technologies and integrate innovative solutions into our operations.
“ Furthermore, we’ ve recently invested in a cutting-edge 3D scanning tool. This means we can offer in-house testing and validation of products, ensuring higher quality control and precision, with reduced dependency on external providers. By eliminating the need
