Energy & Infrastructure Manufacturing Solutions

(Including Renewable Energy Systems)

Industry Overview

The energy and infrastructure sector is undergoing rapid transformation driven by grid modernization, renewable energy deployment, electrification, and large-scale public and private investment. Utilities, OEMs, and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms are expanding and upgrading critical infrastructure to support growing energy demand, decarbonization goals, and increased system resilience.

This industry sits at the intersection of power distribution, construction, industrial machinery, and electrification, requiring manufacturing partners capable of producing structurally demanding, metal-intensive components with consistent quality and dependable delivery. Products must perform reliably in outdoor and harsh environments, meet regulatory and safety standards, and scale efficiently across long project timelines.

Manufacturers serving energy and infrastructure customers face several challenges:

• Long project lead times combined with aggressive deployment schedules

• Heavy reliance on fabricated, welded, and finished metal components

• Cost pressure on large, capital-intensive programs

• Supply chain risk and capacity constraints during demand surges

U.S. manufacturing remains essential for engineering collaboration, regulatory alignment, and proximity to infrastructure projects. At the same time, Mexico manufacturing has become a strategic nearshoring solution for labor-intensive fabrication and assembly, offering scalability, cost efficiency, and reduced supply chain risk compared to offshore production. Many energy OEMs and EPCs now operate across both regions to balance responsiveness and cost.

Typical Products, Parts, and Components

Energy and infrastructure manufacturing encompasses a wide range of metal-based products and assemblies used across traditional and renewable energy systems, including:

• Electrical infrastructure enclosures and cabinets

• Utility-scale equipment housings and frames

• Structural supports and mounting systems

• Skids, racks, and modular support assemblies

• Protective guards, panels, and access doors

• Battery energy storage system (BESS) enclosures and structures

• Solar and wind system support structures and subassemblies

These products commonly require:

• Heavy- and light-gauge sheet metal fabrication

• Precision forming, stamping, and turret punching

• MIG, TIG, and spot welding for structural integrity

• Powder coating, liquid painting, or corrosion-resistant finishes

• Mechanical assembly and modular subassembly

Materials typically include carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum selected for strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life. Dimensional accuracy, weld quality, and finish durability are critical due to outdoor exposure, vibration, and continuous operation.

Production volumes range from project-based, low-volume builds to repeatable medium- and high-volume programs supporting standardized infrastructure platforms.

Example Companies in the Industry

The energy and infrastructure ecosystem includes:

• Electrical and power equipment OEMs

• Renewable energy system manufacturers

• Utility infrastructure suppliers

• EPC firms supporting grid, energy, and infrastructure projects

• Industrial companies producing equipment for power generation and distribution

These organizations typically manage complex, multi-year programs and require manufacturing partners who can scale capacity, maintain quality consistency, and support long-term supply agreements.

How Prince Manufacturing Supports Energy & Infrastructure Companies

Prince Manufacturing supports energy and infrastructure OEMs and suppliers as an integrated contract manufacturing partner capable of producing complex, multi-process components and assemblies.

Prince’s capabilities aligned with this industry include:

• Sheet metal fabrication, stamping, and forming

• Structural and cosmetic welding

• Powder coating and liquid painting for outdoor durability

• Sub-assembly and full assembly operations

• Packaging, sequencing, and logistics coordination

Many energy infrastructure components require multiple fabrication and finishing steps before final assembly. Prince’s ability to manage these processes internally reduces supplier handoffs, improves quality control, and shortens production lead times—critical advantages for project-driven and schedule-sensitive programs.

Prince also supports customers facing:

• Capacity constraints during infrastructure expansion cycles

• Cost-reduction initiatives on large capital programs

• Supplier consolidation and risk mitigation

• Transitions from prototype or pilot builds to scaled production

Lean manufacturing practices and value stream optimization help ensure efficient throughput and predictable delivery across long project timelines.

Manufacturing in the U.S. and Mexico for Energy & Infrastructure Programs

A hybrid U.S.–Mexico manufacturing strategy is particularly effective for energy and infrastructure projects. U.S. facilities provide proximity to engineering teams, faster design changes, and alignment with domestic regulatory and customer requirements. Mexico operations enable scalable, cost-effective production of fabricated and assembled components once designs are validated.

Through Mexico’s IMMEX program, energy and infrastructure manufacturers benefit from:

• Duty-free importation of materials and equipment

• Export-oriented manufacturing aligned with North American demand

• Competitive labor availability for fabrication and assembly

• Reduced lead times compared to offshore manufacturing

Prince Manufacturing provides a low-risk entry into Mexico through its Shelter and hybrid manufacturing programs. Customers retain control over engineering, quality standards, and commercial relationships while Prince manages local labor, compliance, facilities, and daily operations—reducing complexity and operational risk.
