Product development comes from a deep need to solve problems in the market.
We break the product development process into two phases.
In Phase 1 we ask you for your statement of work and all the materials you have prepared so far. We will work together with your team to identify the most suitable manufacturing solution for you.
In Phase 2 we leverage our network of reliable and experienced manufacturers to support your product development. We provide design, prototype, sampling, custom moulding, material suggestions, quotations, production management, quality control, and so much more.

Yes! This Prototyping will be done in cooperation with the vetted factory of your choice. If throughout the prototyping process you need to create custom moulds, upload bespoke software, or anything else, the team of engineers will have all the information and materials that they need in order to fulfil the final order.
We can also create mould mockups using our 3D printers.
Yes! We offer a light-touch, soft landing approach to product development.
We are here to make your life as easy as possible, so that your ideas can come to life quickly, affordably and to your exact specifications.
We have extensive experience working with different 3D CAD software, including SolidWorks, AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Inventor, which we use to develop moulds, create PCBs and provide 3D layouts of products.
We have an NDA template that we can ask the factories to sign, which always provides you with piece of mind.
If you are particularly worried about protecting your IP, then we can split production between multiple factories, so that the entire production process is not under one roof. If you would like to learn more about our thoughts on protecting IP, please read my blog post about it here…
It’s quite simple
Read more about the details of product sourcing on our dedicated page here: Product Sourcing
Our team has over 20 years of experience as a China sourcing agent doing product sourcing and product development in China. We have curated a failproof and comprehensive method to search for suppliers.
We always start a search by contacting our network and asking our colleagues, friends, and other contacts in the industry…
The world of tech products is not as big as you may believe, and the degrees of separation are far fewer than you may think.
After searching our network, we will then search online on local sourcing platforms. This is to check the market and understand your product’s position moving forward.
Of course you can! But…

Over the years we have been able to develop a system that ensures we maintain an excellent quality level.
We start by deeply understanding how a product is made and the materials it is made from. This is to ensure that you aren’t getting BS’d or conned by anyone. If you know the ins and the outs of a product then you know exactly where corners are being cut and if it lacks components.
We conduct deep research and understand the suppliers.
We always require a pre-production and post-production sample, which we can compare with one another.
Before the shipment is sent to you, we always insist on a 3rd party inspection to go and inspect the goods. They will produce an extensive report on what was found and what will be expected in the final shipment.
As a failsafe, we always negotiate a minimum unconditional one-year guarantee on any product that we order.
Pricing for our services is laid out in the pricing page.
We have three different payment terms for different situations.
This comes with time. Having been in the industry and manufactured products in the Greater Bay Area for over 20 years, we have developed a vast network of suppliers.
In China there is no better way to develop a relationship with someone than to do business with them. Additionally to support this, one must also show face by going for factory visits, attending lunches and dinners, and even having a tipple of pijiu (beer), hongjiu (wine) or baijiu (spirits).
