What we do

Get it right. Get it shipped.

Your customers count on you. We make sure manufacturing never lets you down — from the first design review to the container leaving the port.

How we work

Navigate the complexities of manufacturing and sourcing

Four stages, run in the same order on every engagement — whether it is one component or a full production contract.

  1. Stage 01

    Engineering review

    A full review of your design files so samples come back right the first time, not the third.

  2. Stage 02

    Sourcing

    One product often means parts from a dozen suppliers. We search, evaluate and qualify each of them.

  3. Stage 03

    Quoting

    Component quotes consolidated into one number that includes assembly, packaging and shipping.

  4. Stage 04

    Tooling and samples

    Tooling, custom sample production and standard components — all reviewed before final sign-off.

On the ground

Engineering and quality staff next to the factories

Our engineering and quality staff are in Ningbo, within driving distance of the plants — which is what turns a supplier audit into a day rather than a trip.

Anatomy of a product

148 components. One point of contact.

Every part in a product carries its own supplier, tooling cost and lead time. This is what managing that actually looks like.

Customer case

100+ components. 14 suppliers. 1,000+ reformers shipped.

The challenge

A fitness equipment brand had a validated pilates reformer design and was hand-building units locally, with no manufacturing partner to reach production volume.

The outcome

We sourced frames, machined rails, springs, wheels and upholstery across vetted suppliers, set up jig-based assembly with in-process quality control, and managed packaging and freight.

Where we are

Three offices and one complete manufacturing base

So you get real control over sourcing, manufacturing and assembly in China and Vietnam — not a weekly status call.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes. Fast-Track exists for crowdfunded and investor-backed hardware teams who need a first production batch inside a fixed window. It compresses supplier selection and tooling by running them in parallel rather than in sequence.

Djursholm in Sweden, Bellevue in Washington State, and Ningbo in China. Engineering and quality staff are in Ningbo, within driving distance of the factories, which is what makes an on-site audit a day rather than a trip.

You do. Tooling ownership is written into the supply agreement before any tool is cut, so moving production later is a commercial decision rather than a rebuild.

Usually. Bring CAD or a product idea and we will give you a manufacturability read and a plan — including where the design will fight the process and what it would cost to change.
