Case Studies

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

Electronic Product Design for China Manufacturing

Design For Asian Manufacturing

Product development of electronic products specifically for low cost manufacturing in China is what Titoma offers to brand owners and marketers, looking for a turnkey solution. Our mission is to give our clients an unparalleled equation of speed, cost, quality, and on-time delivery.

Titoma is founded on the principle of Design For Asian Manufacturing (DFAM©) which holds that any mass-produced electronic product can only reach its full profit potential when the development fully takes into account the cost-down particularities of China manufacturing, right from the start. Thus, instead of moving a product to China after three-quarters of the product development has been done in the West, it is more sensible and cost-effective to beat the competition by getting the edge on them first, before they get the edge on you. Titoma offers you that edge.

It obviously makes sense to do the product development as close as possible to manufacturing, and now Titoma makes it possible to entrust your development project to professional Western management, on-site in Taiwan or China. Our Western management knows what you want and what you expect, and delivers on that at low cost.

Production and Development in China

Best of both worlds

To warrant quality, Titoma works with Western designers, engineers and project managers that have many years of experience working in Asia in close cooperation with local engineers and manufacturers.

History

In the many years that Case Engelen and his colleagues had been working in product development in Taiwan they had become acutely aware of the gap between Western design and Asian manufacturing.

Western product development firms are often more motivated by cool design rather than by sales success, in which they normally have no commercial interest. They typically accept no responsibility for manufacturing implementation. If you add an ocean and a number of time-zones the "throw-over-the-wall mentality" is hard to avoid, and many great designs from western ID firms sadly never make it to market because they are not compatible with China's manufacturing methods.

Managing his previous firm, WeLL Design Taiwan, Case worked hard to close this gap, and hired western designers and engineers to work in Taiwan, so they could communicate directly with the local engineers, toolmakers and manufacturers. This approach was very successful, winning the "Best of Comdex" award in '99 for an innovative portable PC tablet (Sony and Ericsson came in 2nd and 3rd).

Still, something always seemed to be missing. In his role of product development consultant he would not have any control over toolmakers, electronics developers and manufacturers, and the quality of the final product would often suffer as a result.

To successfully convert a new product development idea into a sales success a great number of factors all have to come together. If one slips, all the effort put in might be wasted. That's why an integrated approach was needed, and why Titoma and its Design For Asian Manufacturing credo were founded.
