Factory Development Services
Support for partners and public agencies localizing storage manufacturing in the Americas — site selection, incentive mapping, utility and infrastructure analysis, workforce planning, and startup coordination.
What's Included
Localization, treated as engineering.
Site selection & infrastructure analysis
Candidate sites scored against stated criteria: logistics, utility capacity, expansion room, and regulatory posture.
Incentive & policy mapping
Federal, state, and municipal incentive programs mapped to your project's structure and timeline.
Workforce & training planning
Staffing plans built on the Navvion academy model — competency-based curricula, multilingual, tracked per person.
Startup & permitting coordination
Permitting sequences, utility applications, and commissioning of the facility itself, coordinated on one plan.
Process
From intent to operating facility.
Objectives & criteria
We fix what the facility must do — products, volumes, timeline — and the criteria a site must clear.
Site & incentive screening
Candidate regions and sites are screened against the criteria, with incentives and utility posture mapped per site.
Feasibility package
A shortlist with scoring, infrastructure assessments, and an economic view with stated assumptions.
Implementation planning
Permitting sequence, workforce plan, equipment timeline, and a startup roadmap with owners and dates.
Startup support
Coordination through construction, hiring, training, and the facility's own commissioning.

FAQ
Common questions.
Is this about Navvion's own factories?
It's the same discipline we apply to our own localization roadmap in Brazil, offered as a service to partners pursuing theirs.
Which regions do you cover?
Brazil first, where our regional team and regulatory experience are deepest. Other markets in the Americas are supported case by case.
Does Navvion invest in partner factories?
Our role is technical and operational. Where co-investment or offtake structures make sense, they're discussed case by case.
How does workforce training work?
The Navvion academy model is adapted to manufacturing roles: competency-based curricula, multilingual content, and per-person credential tracking from day one of hiring.
How long does factory development take?
Screening takes weeks; full development runs months to years depending on scope. The roadmap states its own dates — we won't pretend otherwise.
