What is Contract Manufacturing at Roush?
Contract Manufacturing is our dedicated team for delivering novel solutions in real-world markets. Built on a startup company foundation, we prioritize speed to market while maintaining industry-leading manufacturing and assembly standards. Contract Manufacturing not only streamlines operations but also fosters dynamic collaboration with some of the most innovative companies in the world.
For many OEMs, Contract Manufacturing can deliver lower volume builds to ease the burden of production and remove complexity from their plants with greater efficiency. And for eager startup companies, our team plays the expert role in bringing new ideas and designs to the traditional production line.
Any production build volume. Any OEM or startup. Roush can handle it.
Why do customers need Contract Manufacturing?
Traditionally, customers need the resources of an OEM to fabricate, assemble, and manufacture their market-ready solution. But OEMs are often detached from the full-scale vision and only partner with a customer during the manufacturing stage.
Contract Manufacturing gives any customer the manufacturing capabilities they need — and the like-minded startup culture they want. We are a full-scale partner. We are built to cut traditional OEM costs with a flexible system that solves any product development challenge, from initial dream to final delivery.
We have a startup company mindset. It’s OEM-level expertise and capabilities, paired with high-paced flexibility.
The majority of Contract Manufacturing projects are highly confidential, with details that can’t be disclosed to the public. Our projects reach customers around the world across a broad range of industries that you know and rely on. These include:
- Mobility customers developing electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, EV charging stations, traditional/ICE vehicles, limited-edition variants, and more.
- Defense customers who require armored vehicles, unmanned aircraft, and more.
- Agriculture customers who require robotic commercial farming machinery.
- Aerospace customers who require unique solutions for rarified air mobility.
