Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Winding down manufacturing operations at the China-based facility to shift production to expanding facilities in the U.S. and Vietnam. Sourcing and procurement activities will remain in China with a small local team.
Expected impact: Anticipated quarterly cost savings of approximately $1.2 million upon completion, while mitigating tariff and geopolitical risks.
Refocusing the Juarez, Mexico facility on higher-volume manufacturing and complex box-build assemblies while reducing headcount by approximately 40% to 42% over 24 months and investing in automation.
Expected impact: Expected to provide approximately $1.5 million in quarterly savings, gradually starting in Q3 FY2026, while improving labor efficiency and quoting competitiveness.
Expanding domestic clean-tech manufacturing and R&D operations in Springdale, Arkansas, and doubling manufacturing capacity in Da Nang, Vietnam, including the addition of medical-device manufacturing capabilities.
Expected impact: Enables the company to absorb relocated production from China and Mexico, target double-digit growth in Arkansas, and achieve a target where half of total manufacturing occurs in the U.S. and Vietnam.
