We’ve helped hundreds of inventors move their ideas into concepts.And we can help you too, whether you are just starting out on your own or have an established business with limited or over-extended design and engineering resources.
With our knowledge of materials and manufacturing techniques — what is and is not practical or doable — we can guide you to a realistic and executable conceptualization of your product. Next we can help you assess marketability and crunch the numbers to gauge potential profitability. Then we refine the concept and move on to design.
The design is in the details.During the design phase, we work with you to determine product specifications, including size and weight dimensions, materials of construction, finishing processes, color and trim, etc. Once approved, a set of detailed production drawings is made, enabling us to focus on the types of manufacturing techniques that will be required and their costs.
The advantage of working with us is your access to a team of experts that has exhaustive experience with thousands of product design projects of every description. We know how to get it done and where to go to make it happen.
Our prototypes let you market concepts and test feasibility.Let’s face it: some of the best ideas land on the cutting room floor because many manufacturers just don’t have the engineering skill or ability to craft a suitable prototype. Without one, you can’t market a concept or accurately evaluate its production feasibility.
With our prototypes, we turn products into reality. We can produce them in a variety of ways using final, similar or composite materials, depending on your lead time and needs.
We can produce a prototype in the actual, final materials that your design engineers can use to test form, fit and functionality. Prototypes can also be made in similar or test materials that your sales team can use for presentations.
We also often provide prototype tooling for our automotive and OEM customers. With these prototypes, our manufacturers create 100 or fewer units before the mass build to ensure the parts meet customers’ expectations and needs.
Our sampling process ensures the only surprises you’ll encounter are pleasant ones.
We’ll provide a smooth path with no hidden fees or costs. We are ideally positioned to serve our customers. From quoting a job to delivering the goods, our goal is to simplify the global-sourcing process by locating qualified factories, negotiating the lowest possible price, monitoring quality control during production and delivering the products on time.
Our production protocol includes:
---Factory selection
---Quotation
---Pre-production planning and sample approval
---Continuous monitoring of production status
---Status updates provided per your requirements
---Ongoing search for improved production processes
---Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) assessment
---Monitoring production capabilities and capacity
---Monitoring compliance to shipping schedules

Wrap your product in success.Since more than half of all purchase decisions are made in-store, the look and feel of a product package has a major influence on final consumer purchase behavior. The right packaging showcases and enhances your product; the wrong packaging, on the other hand, can stall sales. From messaging and graphics to printing and assembly, we’ll help ensure your packaging is on target. And because we understand how important packaging is to the success of a product, we also include it in your pre-production sample—unlike anyone else in the business.
From our door to yours, we’ve got it covered.Sit back and relax, because we handle all the logistics and services needed to deliver products from the factory to your door. From ocean freight or air shipment; customs clearance; duties, taxes and fees; to rail or ground delivery to your warehouse, we’ve got it covered.
All the fees and costs associated with logistics services and customs management are included in your quote. From determining customs classification to coordinating container packing and delivery and everything in between, our experts have logistics and delivery down to a science.
The safety and quality of our suppliers are fully vetted.We’re well-versed in meeting the standard certifications required by many industries, including automotive, electronics, aerospace, firearms and many more. But we’re also comfortable with customizing our processes based on each customer’s unique needs and desires.
We place a strong emphasis on performing both customer-required and pre-assessment audits on suppliers, as well as third-party audits, as needed. From processes to social audits (such as environmental safety and health, pay, etc.), we research and check our suppliers to a level even large chain retailers expect.
