The Challenge

A global consumer electronics leader required a fast and cost-effective route to market for a new audio product. Traditional OEM models demanded managing multiple suppliers across the value chain, leading to long lead times, complex coordination, and increased cost pressures. The customer needed a partner who could simplify this process without compromising on product quality or performance.

The Solution

FVG delivered a complete box build solution, consolidating electronics, acoustics, and finishing into a single integrated process. This streamlined approach reduced supplier dependency and accelerated development cycles.

Manufacturing Process:

• Electronics Integration: Complete PCB assembly and seamless integration within the product build.

• Acoustic Engineering: Precision-built speaker drivers, enclosures, and sealing elements for consistent sound performance.

• Full Box Build: Moulded parts, coatings, and labelling combined into a fully assembled, market-ready unit.

By consolidating electronics, acoustics, and finishing into a single integrated process, front-loading Make/Buy decisions, running product and manufacturing ideation in parallel, and applying VAVE (Value Analysis / Value Engineering), FVG shortened lead times while maintaining quality and optimising cost.

The Outcome

With vertical integration and a streamlined Build to Order approach, FVG delivered beta units within six months from tool-up. Manufacturing cost was contained at 15 percent of RRP, which is half the typical OEM benchmark.

Final production turnaround was reduced to only four weeks, showcasing the strength of FVG’s full box build capability and delivering a faster, more cost-efficient route to market for the customer.
