Engineering Customization & Co-Design – Enhancing your existing projects

Not every project starts from scratch. Many cookware buyers and brand owners already have a product line and are looking for ways to refine, update, or adapt it. That’s where our Engineering Customization service comes in.

Our team can support you with:

• Shape optimization – improving ergonomics and comfort
• Material engineering – selecting the right blend for performance, safety, or sustainability

We also offer Co-design, a collaborative process where we work directly with your product managers and designers. Together, we translate your market insights into technical solutions that can be industrialized efficiently.

By combining your brand’s vision with our engineering know-how, we ensure that every handle, knob, or insert is both beautiful and functional.
