Who we work with

For people with an idea, and teams without the capacity.

Founded in Innsbruck by mechanical engineer Ing. Daniel Varga, backed by a team with a PhD in materials science, over 20 years combined in the medical device industry and our own mechanical and wood workshop.

Entrepreneurs & founders

You have an idea and a budget, but no product team. We become that team, from the first plan to the first shipment.

  • A clear plan and budget before building starts
  • Renderings to pitch to investors and customers
  • One contact for the whole chain

Established companies

Your team is at capacity or lacks a specific skill. We take on a full product, or join at the stage you are at, from design to prototypes and production.

  • Design and development of products we build for you
  • Prototyping before you commit to tooling
  • Production and supply chain set up for you
