Quick Mount PV is moving its US manufacturing to China
Quick Mount PV is moving its US manufacturing to China
Despite strong revenue growth in the U.S., the racking company is abandoning its U.S. manufacturing (and rhetoric) to move overseas. Quick Mount was acquired by Netherlands-based Esdec last year in a roll-up of U.S. racking companies.
Quick Mount PV, a residential rooftop solar racking company, plans to close its approximately 40-person factory in Walnut Creek, California at the end of this year — moving its manufacturing operation to China, according to sources close to the company.
So why leave sunny California?
No longer made in the USA
QuickMount PV is now part of Esdec’s global supply chain which gives the Esdec companies stability and flexibility. Products are sourced from all over the world including the U.S.A. The Walnut Creek facility only performs a portion of the manufacturing steps for some of the QM products. Many manufacturing operations were already outside the capability of the Walnut Creek facility, requiring a contract manufacturing partner.
Many of our current manufacturing partners are based in the U.S. and North America, and we will continue to source from these partners going forward. But as a global company, we are working hard to create a globally diversified supply chain with multiple qualified suppliers for each component. Having partners in multiple geographic regions allows us to ensure the integrity and continuity of supply, especially during dynamic times like these. The solid results over the first six months of 2020 confirm that all companies within Esdec solar group perform well and benefit from our reliable supply chain.
