Jabil, AVL Collaborate on Design and Manufacturing Solutions

Jabil Inc. announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with AVL Software and Functions GmbH, the e-drive and software center of AVL List GmbH.

The collaboration combines AVL’s expertise in product design, software, simulation, and testing with Jabil’s decades of experience in value engineering, advanced IATF-certified manufacturing, and strategic global supply chain solutions.

The MOU reflects Jabil and AVL’s willingness to work together to offer comprehensive solutions across the product development lifecycle for next-generation vehicle technology. Jabil and AVL’s complementary capabilities will enable customers to reduce complexity and cost when developing vehicle electronics, including powertrain and charging technology, sensor-based driver assistance systems, and other on-board compute and control products. The non-exclusive collaboration expands the companies’ development network, adding value through their combined strengths for customers, OEMs, and Tier 1 suppliers.

“As vehicle technology becomes increasingly complex, automotive and transportation brands need seamless, strategic design and manufacturing support across the product lifecycle,” said April Butterfield, Jabil’s SVP, engineering. “Working together, Jabil and AVL will bring these enhanced capabilities to customers that drive faster time-to-market, improve cost, and reduce supply chain complexity.”

“We’re excited to work alongside Jabil to combine our decades of experience in innovation, automotive processes, and product engineering with outstanding manufacturing know-how.  Our complementary cultures and skillsets will drive exceptional value and pioneering solutions for the industry,” said Anton Angermaier, managing director, AVL Software and Functions GmbH.
