How We Partner
Concept
A strong concept is foundational for every project and ensures a successful outcome.
Design
We prioritize safety & design functionality while ensuring we meet customer demands.
Prototype
With a strong concept and finalized designs, we begin the prototyping process.
Testing
We couldn’t create top-of-the-line products without our meticulous testing process.
Collaborative Innovation
How We Partner with OEMs
At Curtis Industries, partnership is built into our process. We work alongside OEM teams to develop solutions that align with your performance requirements and production goals.
From the earliest concept through post-launch support, our approach is collaborative, transparent, and focused on delivering results you can rely on.
A Collaborative Development Process
Our New Product Introduction (NPI) process is designed to integrate seamlessly with your team while maintaining clear structure and accountability at every stage.
We begin by understanding your product, your brand, and your objectives, then move into concept development, engineering, testing, and production readiness.
Product Development Process
Defining Goals & Requirements
We establish goals, technical requirements, and regulatory considerations upfront, ensuring understanding across both teams before design begins.
Concept Development & Engineering
Concepts are developed using advanced 3D CAD software, often within your native file format, with full consideration for performance and production.
Prototyping, Testing, & Validation
Designs are refined through prototyping and validated against real-world conditions and industry standards, including ROPS, FOPS, ISO, SAE, and OSHA requirements.
Production Planning & Launch
We prepare for production with a focus on manufacturability, inventory strategy, and launch readiness, ensuring a smooth transition from development to the field.
Ongoing Support & Optimization
After launch, we continue to monitor performance, support stocking programs, and make improvements based on real-world data and demand.
A Tailored Approach
Built Around Your Brand & Requirements
Every OEM partner has different needs. Our team works to fully understand your brand standards, regulatory requirements, and performance expectations before development begins.
We design with your end user in mind, ensuring that each solution delivers the right balance of durability, comfort, safety, and functionality.
From Concept to Production & Beyond
Our involvement doesn’t stop at design. We support the full lifecycle of your product, from initial concept through production and ongoing optimization. This end-to-end support ensures a smooth transition from development to market.
A True OEM Manufacturing Partner
Because all engineering and manufacturing happens in house, we offer a level of control and responsiveness that OEMs don’t typically find with outsourced models.
Ongoing Support & Optimization
Our goal is not just to deliver a product; it’s to build long-term partnerships. We continuously monitor product success and performance in the field and identify opportunities for improvement.
By staying engaged beyond launch, we help ensure the solutions we develop continue to perform in the field and extend what your equipment is capable of.
