Product realisation

We are completely independent of any manufacturer, technology or design house. This ensures commercial alignment with our clients’ best interests. We are also committed to protecting their IP.

Our teams can scale to meet even the most aggressive time-to-market and product cost objectives. As a result, our clients can confidently schedule launch and forecast revenue, while our rigorous processes and regulatory expertise ensure quality is never compromised.

As world leaders in product development, creating breakthrough technology is simply what we do, and design for excellence (DFX) is baked into that process.

We focus on risk reduction during every stage of development, ensuring we always reach the right technology choices for our clients.

From the outset of each project, we live and breathe design for manufacture (DFM), test (DFT), cost (DFC) and disassembly (DFD) to minimise environmental impact.

We have a robust and proven process for audit and selection of manufacturing partners, including aggressive cost-reduction and should-cost analysis.

We can provide full outsource supply chain development, or offer a helping hand to solve a specific manufacturing problem.

We also perform manufacturing line and process design, test development and validation for rapid production ramp up, having recently taken a project from pencil sketch to 20,000 units in just 5 months.

We also offer on-going support for optimisation of our clients’ manufacturing processes.

During more than six decades of world-class product development, we’ve created whole production lines for high volume consumer products, custom manufacturing equipment and complete outsourced supply chains.

Our product realisation capabilities are globally dispersed between our Centre of Excellence in Seattle, our Cambridge, UK headquarters, our Singapore and Tokyo offices and our dedicated NPI centre in Hong Kong.

Consequently, we have extensive experience working with manufacturing partners worldwide – including Europe, the Americas and Asia – in volumes from 10s to 10s of millions.
