We envision a world where creation has no barriers. Where the idea of building a rocket, solving climate change, inventing the next lifesaving medical device can all be created with ease. Fictiv was founded by two brothers, Nate and Dave Evans, to simplify sourcing and eliminate the major bottlenecks in supply chain and manufacturing.
Dave Evans studied Mechanical Engineering at Stanford and started his career in automotive as the first hire for Ford’s Innovation Lab in Silicon Valley. It was here that he saw the true barriers to innovation through studying the development cycles of infotainment systems attempting to bring in the next generation of consumer devices. Meanwhile, with a Master's in Chinese from Stanford, Nate Evans started his career in investment banking, studying ad-tech markets and the cycles of technology disruption in traditional industries. In 2013, they set out to eliminate traditional supply chains to unlock the world’s creative potential. Traditional supply chains are fragmented, slow, inflexible, non-scalable, and fraught with quality issues and delays making it nearly impossible to scale innovation and get products to market faster. Fictiv helps solve today’s most intractable supply chain challenges.
Today, Fictiv is a global manufacturing and supply chain company that enables organizations to scale globally without the typical barriers of cost, complexity, and risk. By leveraging Fictiv’s four global manufacturing centers in the U.S., India, Mexico, and China, companies can access a Fortune 500-grade supply chain on-demand to scale high-quality production, optimize supply chain logistics, and mitigate supply chain risk—ensuring they can move from prototype to full-scale manufacturing with speed and confidence. Integrated digital tools for online quoting, design for manufacturability feedback, and order management help accelerate time-to-market, de-risk the supply chain, and scale production.
Fictiv’s global supply chain solutions provide an integrated approach to manufacturing, ensuring businesses efficiently move from concept to full-scale production with a single supply chain partner. By combining expert engineering, supplier management, logistics, and quality assurance, Fictiv streamlines the entire product and manufacturing lifecycle.
