ControlTek’s design engineering team modifies a new product design, improving product function and manufacturability saving the customer over $1,000,000 to date in manufacturing costs.
The team at AirAdvice for Homes has enjoyed a ten-year partnership with ControlTek, combining ControlTek’s extensive technical manufacturing and engineering services with the company’s own in-house engineering capabilities.
Focus Designs is the Washington-based electronics product development startup that has created the Self Balancing Unicycle (SBU). Focus Designs’ SBU is the world’s first self-balancing, battery powered, easy to ride unicycle.
Now in its second major design iteration, the SBU product presented a production challenge that could only be addressed through a tight manufacturing partnership.

"ControlTek continually goes the extra mile for NACCO Materials Handling Group. When a key supplier to NACCO Materials Handling Group abruptly went out of business, ControlTek rallied. Remarkably, ControlTek had a never-seen-before assembly in production and delivered to NACCO Materials Handling Group just-in-time. ControlTek performed above and beyond our expectations of any supplier."

We could not have been more happy with how the project turned out."
