New Product Introduction & Gate Process

At Alium, we work with the world’s largest & most innovative brands to design, develop and manufacture advanced battery and power solutions for applications from convenience to critical. To ensure our products meet all quality, safety and functionality requirements, our team of global engineers and product managers follow our New Product Introduction (NPI). This stage gate process drives New Product Development (NPD) through 3 phases (plan, design & qualification) with quality, supply chain and document control playing a critical role throughout the development lifecycle. Our NPI conforms to our 5 part gate process.
