TriMech acquires Mako

US-based TriMech Group has acquired Mako Design + Invent, which provides end-to-end product design and development services across all physical consumer product categories to clients in the United States and Canada.

With this latest acquisition, the TriMech Group continues to deliver on its plan to expand and diversify its service offerings to the global advanced design, engineering and manufacturing sectors.

Chip Hogge, Chief Strategy Officer for the TriMech Group, and President of its Advanced Manufacturing business, said that adding Mako’s expertise sets the stage for TriMech to offer enhanced, comprehensive product development support for clients of all sizes.

Mako’s platform supports inventors, designers, manufacturers and e-commerce brands through planning, strategy development, designing, prototyping, manufacturing and scaling to production volume, all to efficiently transform a concept into a fully functional, market-ready product. At the heart of this process is Mako’s team of industrial designers and mechanical and electrical engineers.

TriMech’s Project Engineering Group (PEG) provides additional design capabilities and capacity in the key engineering stages of the product development lifecycle. And TriMech’s global teams of advanced simulation specialists can support additional simulation and analysis needs clients have during those stages.

The Mako team’s experience across the product development life cycle can also bring new manufacturing connections and projects to the TriMech Group, already known for its 3D printer sales and services, as well as its expertise in other advanced manufacturing methods, from traditional to emerging.
