Why is this News?
After 44+ years designing award-winning, market-disrupting products for companies large and small we’ve been witness to the compression in new product development timeframes as companies leap to gain market advantage – pressuring every aspect of the process. With so much at stake, ensuring manufacturability of a new product design that has been engineered to perform at optimal levels has never been more critical.
Enter Forge – a highly experienced, tightly integrated research, design, engineering and manufacturing group. We are devoted to bringing research-driven design all the way through production, tightening timelines, eliminating hand-offs and delivering tested, engineered and manufactured products true to design intent, cost parameters and well ahead of the competition.
Why would this be important to me?
If user insight, innovative design, expedited time-to-market, manufacturability and market success is the objective, you need a firm to carry the ball through the entire new product development process from research to manufacturing. Forge has been created to accomplish that goal.
