Development
Centre
Our Development Services area is a standalone dedicated business unit, supporting customers’ needs for prototype, rapid build, and low volume manufacturing
Functioning as an autonomous and dedicated area, with the flexibility to scale up to be able to tap into the resources of Smart Made Simple’s manufacturing.
The demand for our UK dedicated Development Centre is growing month-on-month
Given the complexity and risk associated with product introduction, we understand that both start-ups and established brands need access to innovation, engineering, and resources to create a competitive advantage and maintain their pricing strength.
For our customers’ we identify the right technologies, capabilities, capacities and flexibility required at the right time of the product/production lifecycle.
This allows us to offer resources such as engineering, design for manufacturing (DFM), supply chain optimisation, prototyping, failure analysis, testing, production and transfers.
Many customers start with us in the Development Centre and we move with them on their product success journey as the ramp up to move seamlessly into our SMT production area.
