When developing a product, finding the right suppliers can be just as challenging as the design process itself. You’ll need to find service providers who are capable of doing the job you need, while also addressing time constraints and quality commitments.

Though it may seem daunting, the process can be made a lot easier by choosing to work with US based suppliers. Within the scope of battery design, working with US battery manufacturers has a number of advantages.

Supply Chain Reliability

When products are ordered from overseas, there is a greater potential for logistical issues. Shipping alone will often be more expensive and have longer lead times. There’s also the possibility of items getting lost during transit, or shipments being delayed due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

Working with domestic battery suppliers reduces supply chain risks and provides greater oversight of your orders.

Regulatory & Compliance Controls

Working with a US based manufacturing company should ensure that your products are being created according to strict quality requirements.

ISO standards create a specific process for quality control. At PTI, we maintain certifications for ISO 13485:2003 and ISO 9001:2008. We also follow all recommendations for the safe transportation of lithium batteries so that our customers can be assured their orders will arrive safely.

Customer Support

Working with people in other time zones can lead to scheduling difficulties when you need to speak with someone. Communication can also be difficult when corresponding with suppliers who may have a limited grasp of your language.

Selecting battery suppliers in the United States eliminates most of these concerns. Even if a representative is located in another time zone, there are usually a few hours of overlapping time during the day to schedule calls.
