Our Business

Product Design and Development is a group of words that covers a broad range of topics. In simple terms it encompasses all of the work and knowledge that takes a product from an idea to a realized product. In that bucket of work are such things as design, production processes, manufacturing methods, supplier sourcing, prototyping and product testing.

We've done it and can get it done for you. We can start at any stage of the process. If needed we can put you directly in touch with other experts such as IP professionals or suppliers in the US and overseas.

Our primary focus is on providing you with a cost effective and bulletproof solution in a timely manner. We do that by maintaining flexibility and having a large stable of technical experts available. If a specific skill or background is needed for your project, we probably have it on tap.
