An interesting business concept has been inaugurated by Marl Manufacturing that the company describes as a ‘concept to manufacturing’ service. This strategy is aimed at businesses who want to introduce a technology based product but have no technical skills or resources in-house.
The company’s product realisation service is intended for complete technical product creation and realisation, and is said to exceed traditional sub-contract manufacturing or electronic manufacturing services (EMS) and covers initial electronic design, layout, prototyping and full production.
Adrian Rawlinson, Managing Director of Marl International said: “A great many businesses are finding that their competitive position can be greatly improved by adding an electronic control element or a display user interface to their products, but as their business is non-technical they lack the expertise to turn their idea into a design let alone create a prototype or put it into production.
With the new Marl Manufacturing service we can literally take a drawing on the back of an envelope, and work in partnership with business management through the steps of turning that idea into a workable design, building a prototype and taking it into production. The concept to manufacturing service is aimed at businesses in non-technical sectors such as hobbies and leisure activity, medicine, safety and security.”
The whole process from start to finish is conducted at the company?s base in Ulverston, in the UK enabling a smooth transition between each stage of the procedure, and so is easy to make any changes along the way.
Rawlinson explained: “We can offer fast turn-around and competitive pricing on small volumes, but with our sourcing and logistics expertise we can match offshore manufactured price levels on much higher volumes as well. Our heritage is in lighting products, but a project doesn?t have to have an LED in it for us to be able to manufacture it competitively,” he concluded.
