What our customers say:

"First off, I would like to say that it is a pleasure to work with you and Bill of the Titoma organization. You are prime examples of what it takes to make a company a world class end to end manufacturing organization that meets or exceeds needs of its customers. Hats off to you and your owners!"

- Russell Huffman, New Tech Alarms, USA

"We decided to work with Titoma because of their reputation and competitive price. We saved up to 100% higher on NRE (Non Recurring Expenses, i.e. design and molds) and 50% on parts. They delivered full turnkey development with impressive professionalism and quality. We have further products lined up for the coming year, and we will look forward to working with Titoma again."

- Michael Jones, Nigami Enterprises, New Zealand

"We used to buy our custom made keyboards directly from a factory in Taiwan. Unfortunately, working with them turned out to be a major headache--endless shipping delays, which cost us a lot of customers. Two years ago, we asked Titoma to select and manage a new factory. Having a team on the ground that really understands quality and is able to make decisions on the spot saved us a lot of time and hassle."

- Henk Smit, BNC Distribution, Holland

"I am honored to testify as a satisfied customer. I'm very happy with the work you did during the manufacturing phase, and especially grateful for the attention you gave me during the whole process."

- Edgar Orozco, AVICORVI SA, Colombia

"I recommend Titoma as an excellent partner for die-casted and injection molded parts. During the whole process we had very fast communication, and Titoma offered many useful suggestions on how to improve our mechanical design to avoid problems. The resulting parts were beautiful with a nice finish, and they managed to achieve the tight tolerances we required."

- Jacek Rydzewski, Grupa Techniczna, Poland

G-wax: a vending machine for hair gel

Diederick Vegers of http://www.g-wax.nl had spotted a need in the market: a vending machine for hair gel.

The client worked with an industrial designer in the Netherlands to develop nice looking a artist’s impression of the exterior, and 3D CAD of the inside components, most of them in plastic. He then came to Titoma and asked us to quote on making up to 5000 units.

A lot of the CAD files we receive are not necessarily optimized for manufacturing, let alone for manufacturing in Asia. So instead of just quoting him on the provided 3D CAD model Titoma discussed the project with a very experienced vending machine manufacturer in Taiwan (we of course only showed the design after the vendor has signed our NDA).

The big advantage of Taiwan over China is that in Taiwan the companies have a lot more experience, and are therefore much better able to give good advice for new product development. If you speak the language of course.

In this case the company recommended us to switch from one big 3 liter tank of gel to vending sachets, because a pump system would easily get clogged up if there would be no sales for a week.

So basically instead of inventing a whole new machine concept, which would have taken a lot of prototyping and tweaking to get right, we made an adaptation of their condom vending machine instead. He also recommended making the complete system out of metal, which is more vandal proof and generally longer lasting, and has the big advantage that no expensive plastic injection moulds need to be made, so it was much quicker and cheaper to manufacture a pilot run of 100 units. Titoma interfaced extensively between client and factory to see how we could implement his original design concept as faithfully as possible without spending too much money.

Making smart use of existing product platforms is an important part of Titoma’s Design For Asian Manufacturing ™ Process.

Because we now had to make small portions of gel in plastic in a printed carton cover Titoma contracted a local factory to make the gel according to client’s fruity recipe, and package it.
