I make hardware happen in China. You have a product idea. You need someone who can build it — not just draw it, but mold it, assemble it, and ship it. Our family-owned facility in Zhejiang manages the entire production chain. Here's what makes me different: 🏭 ENGINEERING + MANUFACTURING EXECUTION I work directly with trusted tooling, injection-molding, and assembly partners in Zhejiang, moving efficiently from engineering to prototypes and pilot production. You get one experienced engineering partner who manages the transition from product design through tooling and manufacturing — no handoffs, no miscommunication. 📦 SMALL BATCHES WELCOME Need 500 units? Most factories won't even reply. I will. I handle prototyping → mold making → production → shipping, all in one seamless workflow. 🔧 15 YEARS, 4 INDUSTRIES Over 15 years of hands-on product development across personal care (hair dryers, beauty devices), outdoor power equipment (lawn mowers), and children's ride-ons. If it has plastic parts and electronics, I've built it. WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU: ✅ Full product development: sketch → 3D design → prototype → tooling → production ✅ DFM analysis + mold design + competitive supplier quotes ✅ Small batch pilot production (500–5,000 units) with testing support ✅ Competitor teardown + cost analysis ✅ Factory audits + QC inspections in China HOW IT WORKS: 1. You share your idea (sketch, reference, STL, or prototype). 2. I design for manufacturing and quote the full cost. 3. You approve → I make the mold → run production. 4. You receive finished products at your door. Let's talk about your project. Tell me what you're building and your target quantity. I'll respond within 24 hours.
