WHY THE PAC GROUP?
At PAC, we understand the complexity and urgency of battery innovation. That’s why our approach blends deep technical knowledge, global delivery experience, and cross-functional coordination—so your launch doesn’t just meet expectations, it leads the market.
Full Life cycle Program Support
From business case validation to program management – based workstream integration; from equipment procurement and selection support to FAT milestones; and from manufacturing engineering, problem-solving / operational ramp-up and equipment compliance certification, we manage every step of your battery program with precision.
Purpose-Built for Gigafactory Scale
We develop full battery pack and production facility layouts, RFQs, simulations, and throughput tools for new and expanding operations—delivering results on time and under budget. Early building + process integration management is crucial to prevent costly re-work and delays.
Cross-Functional Expertise, One Integrated Team
Our team spans project management, manufacturing engineering, process technology sourcing, facility construction, safety, and equipment integration—ensuring seamless collaboration across suppliers, trades, and regions.
Safety + Compliance at the Core
We support clients with EHS strategy, site audits, and equipment marking compliance to ensure smooth certifications and safe operations. Early attention to EHS and equipment compliance can reduce time to market and avoid budget overruns.
Project ExAMPLES
EV Supplier Park Integration – MENA Region
PAC supported a new EV OEM in the MENA region by optimizing the launch of five supplier park facilities. With embedded teams across engineering, safety, and logistics, PAC implemented hundreds of technical design improvements—earning praise from top client leadership and setting the tone for future phases.
Battery Facility Power Optimization – Saudi Arabia
As the owner’s representative for a multi-billion-dollar battery supplier park, PAC led value engineering efforts that cut power demand by 37%, saving $12M in CapEx. The integration of adiabatic cooling systems and facility-wide energy reviews created a more sustainable and cost-efficient operation.
E-Motor Study for Global OEM
PAC conducted an end-to-end e-motor feasibility study, including layout planning, process simulation, and supplier assessment for a global automotive OEM. Deliverables included a market inquiry package, throughput analysis, and detailed RFQ documentation to support expansion strategy.
Greenfield Battery Pack Manufacturing Facility
PAC led building integration, process planning, and technical coordination for the launch of a new battery pack facility. Services included 2D/3D layout development, dry room integration, safety management, and procurement support across all production zones.
