Tariff Therapy Tip 6 of 9: Reduce part costs through NRE design, manufacturing, and automation.

Strategic NRE investment in design refinement, tooling, fixtures, test automation, or process optimization can significantly lower per unit costs over time. These improvements often pay for themselves quickly, especially as volumes increase.

Beyond cost reduction, NRE driven optimization improves quality, repeatability, and scalability. It is a multi level value play that strengthens your product and your manufacturing operation at the same time.

Most companies react to tariffs. We design around them.

Hatch partners with clients to build tariff engineering into the manufacturing strategy from the start, optimizing landed cost without compromising quality.

Mass production requires a controlled process. At Hatch, we work with clients to implement structured manufacturing controls that enable consistent, high volume output. From vendor flow down to quality checkpoints and production ramp planning, every step is defined.

Tariff Therapy Tip 5 of 9: Ask vendors to push down their COGs or margin (short term).

A strong vendor partner will often be willing to temporarily reduce margin in the short term in exchange for a solid order or long term program, especially in today’s economic climate. This can help offset tariff pressure while keeping your program moving forward.

If a vendor is unwilling to have that conversation, it may be a signal to re-evaluate the partnership. Given the current tariff environment, there are alternative suppliers who are hungry for business and willing to be flexible.

Tariffs change. Partnerships should adapt with them.

This is what Production Verification Testing actually looks like.

Pilot builds running on real production lines.
Test stations validating performance under real conditions.
Teams dialing in processes, quality checks, and throughput.

PVT is where everything comes together to prove your product can be built at scale, not just once, but consistently.

This is how you go from a working product to a manufacturable one.

The right supplier can make or break your product. Hatch works with clients to identify and qualify manufacturing partners through hands-on validation, not just vetting on paper.

From prototype builds to process evaluation, every supplier is tested for quality, consistency, and scalability before selection.

That is how you de-risk production.
