42 Technology, a product design and development consultancy based in St Ives, near Cambridge in the UK, has launched a dedicated manufacturing practice to help product manufacturers improve production efficiency, develop new capabilities and get new products to market faster and at lower cost.
Frank Tully will lead the new practice, which aims to build on 42 Technology’s track record in developing novel manufacturing processes for clients in the food, high-volume packaging, personal care, pharmaceuticals and pesticides sectors.
The manufacturing team will work directly with clients facing specific manufacturing challenges: businesses that are unable to manufacture new products in volume or at acceptable cost, for example; or those looking to improve quality, increase output or eliminate cost from their current processes.
’42 Technology’s manufacturing practice is being launched to build on our market successes, strengthen our profile and to promote our skills in this area,’ said Tully.
‘Prospects and existing clients typically know about our product design achievements but are not always aware of our work in the manufacturing sector. We have helped many global brands as well as emerging businesses but are often unable to promote specific project successes because manufacturing process is so central to a company’s operational and competitive advantage.’
