Get Off to a Cost-Effective Start
500

A few today. Not the infrastructure for 100,000.

Don't start too big. Don't plan too small.

Small initial production runs require a manufacturing strategy that is cost-effective today and won’t get in the way tomorrow.

High tooling costs, large minimum order quantities, and early automation tie up capital before the market provides reliable answers. That is why we tailor processes, tools, and supply chains to the product, target costs, and current demand.

The design remains production-ready from the outset so that the next step does not require a complete redesign.

Range of Services

One product. One dedicated team.

We handle individual production phases or coordinate the entire process, from design to certified series production.

01

Engineered Plastic Parts

Housings and functional parts featuring a carefully selected combination of materials and a suitable tooling concept.

02

Mechanical Components

CNC parts and precision components with specified tolerances, surface finishes, and repeatability.

03

Electronics and Printed Circuit Boards

Printed circuit boards, sensors, displays, cables, and connectors as part of the overall product.

04

Electromechanical Assemblies

Mechanical and electronic components are assembled into documented and testable subassemblies.

05

Assembly and Testing

Manual or semi-automated assembly with defined inspection procedures for the product and production run size.

06

Complete Products

Development, procurement, manufacturing, assembly, and testing as part of an integrated production concept.

Manufacturing process

The procedure follows the task.

Geometry, material, quality, budget, target price, and quantity all work together to determine how production is carried out. The bottom line is what matters most.

Additive manufacturing

For functional prototypes, near-production parts, and production runs where flexibility is more important than a traditional mold.

CNC Machining

For mechanical components with defined tolerances and geometries that can be manufactured cost-effectively through machining.

Injection molding

With standard molds, interchangeable inserts, or production-run tools. The tooling concept scales to match production run times and demand.

Injection molding can be cost-effective even for smaller production runs.

It’s not just the quantity that matters. Tool design, geometry, material, production time, and target price must all align.

  • Investment in Tools
  • Material and Finish
  • Geometry
  • Duration and Needs
  • Target Price
From Product to Production Run

5 Phases. One Responsibility.

Every decision lays the technical and economic groundwork for the next step.

01

Development

Design, electronics, material selection, and functional prototypes form the technical foundation.

02

Prototype and Pre-Production Run

Product-specific parts, assembly, and testing demonstrate how the product behaves under real-world conditions.

03

First Series

Production begins with a manageable investment and a clearly defined quality standard.

04

Recurring Small-Scale Production Run

Procurement, tooling, assembly, and testing are optimized for repeatability.

05

Scaling

As demand grows, methods and processes are scaled up to handle higher volumes.

We’ll let you know during our conversation what stage your product is in.

“industrialpartners brings the necessary expertise and flexibility to respond quickly in the areas of prototyping and small-batch production and to bring our ideas to life.”

Alexander Schneider
CEO of Rapitag
Production with a Focus on Europe

Shorter routes reduce costs that aren't reflected in the price of any part.

Minimum order quantities, transportation, inventory levels, tied-up capital, and response time must also be factored into the calculation.

Direct Voting

Resolve technical questions and changes without lengthy communication channels.

Quick Adaptation

Apply insights from a batch directly to design and subsequent production.

Quantities Based on Need

Align procurement and inventory more closely with demand and project progress.

Greater Process Control

Better manage quality, changes, and deadlines through shorter supply chains.

For products intended for professional use in the market.

Even if the demand is modest at first or if existing production needs to be restructured.

  • First market-ready series with a manageable investment
  • Recurring small-batch production without traditional mass-production tooling
  • Variants and special versions with specified quality
  • Enclosures, circuit boards, assembly, and testing—all from a single source
  • Immediate Entry into Industrialization and Production Planning
FAQ

What's important before you start.

There is no fixed minimum quantity. The key factor is whether the required quantity can be produced using a suitable process in a way that makes technical and economic sense.

That depends on the product. For a complex device, even a few dozen units can constitute a significant production run. That is why we consider annual demand, product complexity, and manufacturing processes together.

Yes. Standard molds, interchangeable inserts, or simplified tools can reduce the initial investment. Whether this is cost-effective is evaluated based on the part, material, production run, target costs, and demand.

No. We can get involved at the product design, engineering, and electronics stages. If CAD data, bill of materials, or prototypes are already available, the project begins directly with industrialization and production planning.

Yes. Plastic parts, mechanical components, and electronics can be bundled together with procurement, assembly, and testing to form a comprehensive production concept.

Yes. Design, tools, suppliers, assembly, and testing processes are selected in such a way that they can be specifically scaled up as demand increases.

Market Launch

Flexibility is key to a successful market launch.

“industrialpartners helped us bring our products to market as quickly as possible. The fast production process shortened our time to market by more than three months.”

Michael Nickolai, CEO of Conbee

“With industrialpartners’ products, we were able to convince our customers of our solution and successfully execute the product launch. Affordable, fast, and scalable—perfect for our needs!”

Ralf Krippner, CEO of Hoffmann & Krippner
