01 / Founded by engineers

Engineers, not traders

You deal with the people who design and supervise your product — named, on the floor, accountable.

Adam Gniado

AI & software engineering

Production AI systems for enterprise clients; robotics venture co-founder.

Kin Xu

Hardware & manufacturing engineering, Ningbo

Grew up in the manufacturing cluster; leads supplier qualification and production supervision.

This is why clients trust us with everything from consumer products to connected industrial devices.

02 / What we manufacture

From a cup warmer to a connected device

One discipline, full range. The team that sources a simple product can deliver an instrumented one.

Metal & plastic consumer products

Housings, hardware, home & living, accessories — from a single part to a finished, assembled product.

Electromechanical goods

Motorized and mechanical assemblies, built and tested on dedicated lines.

Precision components

CNC-turned and milled parts; automotive drivetrain parts — half shafts, CV joints — to IATF 16949.

Engineering team in Poland

Smart & Connected Products

The same team builds custom connected devices — firmware, cloud and AI data platforms — for instrumented industrial products. Consumer wearables and RF-heavy electronics stay out of scope.

03 / How we de-risk production

Risk is engineered out, not promised away

Mechanisms, not assurances. Each step has an output you can check.

DFM review

We check your CAD and samples — materials, tolerances, draft, wall thickness — before any tooling is cut.

Mold financing

For production projects we arrange deferred settlement of the tooling cost. Ask about mold financing for your case.

Samples & T1 sign-off

You approve physical samples and first-article parts in writing before serial production starts.

Lab batch testing

Every batch passes the plant laboratory before it ships — CMM, optical spectrometer, hardness, salt spray, tensile.

Staged 30 / 30 / 40 payments

You pay against confirmed results; third-party inspection (SGS / TÜV / QIMA) clears the final payment.

Bilingual contract

English and Chinese in one document — no translation gap to hide behind.

04 / Where we manufacture

Our manufacturing partner — LEAN AUTO Co., Ltd.

Established 2002 in Ningbo (Beilun). We run the engineering, sourcing, quality and contracts around the plant — we do not own it.

The plant — machine park

›~50 CNC lathes, incl. 15 fully automatic
›22 CNC groove milling machines
›12 CNC grinders
›3 heat-treatment lines
›Thread rolling and gear hobbing
›CNC cells with 3D vision inspection

Laboratory — batch testing

›CMM — coordinate measuring machine
›Optical spectrometer — material composition
›Metallographic microscope
›Hardness testers (HR / HV / HB)
›Salt spray chamber — corrosion
›Tensile / compression machine

Tooling cluster

In the heart of the Ningbo / Beilun tooling-and-casting cluster — mold shops within a few kilometers, the nearest about 500 m. Injection and casting molds, leading hot-runner systems (Mold-Masters, Husky, DME, YUDO). We manage tool build, sampling and acceptance on-site.
