Accelerating Design Forward
Based on our combined experience working with various building technologies and industries we have come to understand some primary rules with emerging technologies … change and evolution are the only constant in every business sector.
The world today has changed, our corporate culture has always maintained the position of strategic alignment with progressive manufacturing partners and technologies. With that innovative mindset in our corporate DNA, we understood from our customers early on there is real opportunity for innovators to capitalize on the product and design shortfalls in the commercial and residential building sectors.
From the beginning we recognized the importance of working alongside our trade and contractor partners directly to understand these product design limitations and shortfalls and to collaborate with our various innovative manufacturing partners to refine the current technologies. Alternatively, our path has been to align with creative next generation design engineers and manufacturers outside of the building sector to achieve new design concepts, to develop prototypes and beta test those new designs in controlled OEM environments with the goal to produce more efficient and effective product design solutions.
