Over 200 suppliers signed up to listen in to the FF leadership team give a comprehensive overview of FFโs global strategy, vision, business plan and project updates.
Strengthening FFโs Supply Chain Relationship
FFโs supplier network has helped the Company reach a pinnacle in its history as it has made considerable progress and accomplished numerous key operational and strategic objectives in recent months. On April 14, 2023, the Companyโs first production FF 91 rolled off the line at its FF ieFactory California and homologation for the FF 91 is progressing as planned as most of the FMVSS tests have been successfully completed. The Company has performed the highest severity crash tests and has passed all of these tests successfully, including front, side and rear crash. The Company is grateful to FFโs global suppliers for helping FF get to this historical point in the companyโs history.
โOur goal was for suppliers to learn more background on our product and technology, manufacturing status, sales and delivery plans and our recent funding commitments,โ said Mathias Hofmann, Senior Vice President of Supply Chain at FF. โThe FF 91 is a revolutionary and technology-packed vehicle, with thousands of parts and assemblies, so our relationship with our supplier partners is critical to achieving our goal of successfully delivering FF 91 to our users this year.โ
FFโs executive speakers gave a snapshot of FFโs business environment and included FFโs Global CEO, Xuefeng Chen (XF), Phil Bethell (Vice President of Vehicle Line Engineering), Nicolas Bel (Senior Manager, Powertrain), Joaquin Azcona (Senior Plant Director, Manufacturing Operations), Yun Han, (Interim CFO), Jose Guerrero (Senior Director, Sales), and finally Rich Schmidt, FFโs new Vice President of Manufacturing.
