The combination of knowledge, experience and insight into product development

PEZY is a design and engineering firm that creates ingenious products. We are your product innovation partner for rapid market validation. With our multidisciplinary knowledge, the latest technology, testing facilities and an extensive knowledge network, we bring product ideas to life in a fast, flexible and reliable manner.

Phases in product development

We employ an agile approach, whereby an iterative development process leads to rapid validation, learning and improved speed of product development. We produce first-class smart products, manufacture small series if required, and support our customers in production and market introduction. In this way, we bridge the gap between product idea and (mass) production together.

Valuable experience

PEZY enjoys solving complex challenges. In our projects in the fields of consumer products, industrial products, health technology, healthcare and consumer packaged goods, we help our clients with the development of demonstrators, product design and small series. Co-creation with our clients always results in fresh ideas and insights. Our strength is creating concepts, prototypes and products that are feasible, viable and usable. Moreover, these collaborations generate data – or even solve societal challenges. Our specialty lies in our origins: designers and engineers who combine technical feasibility with inventiveness, product experience and design.

The integrated development process

Good ideas are everywhere. Success comes from designing the right product early, then developing it in a way that is reliable and scalable. We work in an integrated way, as one team, with a lean process, so we learn faster, surface risks early, and make better supported decisions. That reduces late changes, avoids costly iterations, and makes the step to production feasible, predictable, and in control.

Design the right product

Product innovation starts with clarity on value. We bring user needs, market opportunities, competitive context, and technical possibilities together into one clear direction. We do not steer on assumptions, but on evidence: what do you need to know for sure to move forward, and how do you prove it as early as possible. That creates focus, speeds up decision making, and increases the chance your product will actually be adopted and purchased.

Strategy and analysis

We start with co creation. Together with all relevant stakeholders, we define the starting point: which user, which problem, which market, and which success criteria. We make clear choices on focus and scope, and capture what truly matters for value, timing, and feasibility. In parallel, we map the key risks, from regulation and safety to supply chain and cost, so the team knows where to go deeper early to avoid surprises later.

Proposition development

We shape a value proposition that works for both the user and the business. We translate needs and market context into a sharp promise and clear differentiation, including the reasons your solution will win. We then assess maturity across three dimensions and make explicit what is still uncertain and what needs to be proven first.

Feasibility: can it work technically and functionally, including the critical constraints
Desirability: does the user truly want it, and is the experience compelling
Viability: is there a market, a solid business model, and a path to scale

Based on this, we create a concrete roadmap with clear decision moments and measurable checkpoints.

Concept creation

Using design thinking, we work in short iterations. We explore multiple directions, make trade offs visible, and build concepts you can evaluate on function, experience, and differentiation. We work from scenarios and use cases, so it is immediately clear how the product will be used in real life. By visualising and modelling early, we shape a concept that is not only attractive, but also fits within technical and manufacturing reality.

Concept proof and concept demonstration

We make it tangible and prove what needs to be proven. With fast prototypes and targeted testing, we build evidence early, prevent late course changes, and increase the chance of product market fit. We deliberately choose the right type of prototype for each question, for example ergonomics, performance, reliability, or integration. This reduces risk step by step and results in a demonstrator that gives stakeholders, investors, and future partners confidence from the start.

Develop the product the right way

When the direction is right, everything comes down to reliability, manufacturability, and scalability. We design with industrialisation in mind and keep control all the way to production. That means we do not only focus on what works, but also on how it will be built, tested, assembled, and delivered. This prevents engineering and production from working against each other later and ensures a product that can be made consistently.

Engineering and architecture

We integrate mechanics, electronics, and software into one coherent product architecture. We design intelligently, keep complexity under control, and involve manufacturing partners and verification early, so the design matches requirements and real world constraints. We make deliberate choices on interfaces, tolerances, cable routing, and serviceability, and we steer on robustness and cost. Where relevant, we build standards and certification into the process from the start, so compliance does not become a late stage surprise.

Prototyping and validation

We build prototypes with one goal: reduce risk. From proof of principle to a functional demonstrator, each iteration creates insight and strengthens the next decision. We test what matters most, critical functions, integration, reliability, and real world use, and we document results so improvements are traceable. This way the design matures in a controlled manner, without speed coming at the expense of quality.

Final engineering and industrialisation

We finalise engineering with a focus on quality, reliability, and repeatability. From there, we guide the move into scale up: preparing processes, supply chain, tooling, and production for market introduction. This includes DFM and DFA, tooling validation, quality plans, test setups, and securing component availability. The goal is a product that is not only ready to launch, but ready to keep delivering on volume, margin, and performance.

Product development driven by design, data & engineering

From initial idea to market-ready product. PEZY connects all disciplines needed to make innovations successful. Designers, engineers and makers work as one team from the outset. By bringing together mechanics, electronics, software and production at an early stage, we shorten development time and increase certainty at every stage. The result is a well-thought-out product that is technically sound and can be manufactured on a large scale.

Plastic is often the key to smart and efficient product solutions. PEZY has over thirty years of experience in designing, optimising, and manufacturing plastic components. We combine knowledge of materials, injection moulding techniques and tool construction to bring together functionality, aesthetics and manufacturability. From prototype to production, we ensure that every detail is correct and performs as intended.

In the medical industry precision is crucial. PEZY develops medical devices and HealthTech products in accordance with the highest quality and safety standards. Our multidisciplinary teams combine knowledge of usage context, regulations (MDR) and production validation. From concept and prototyping to clinically tested, production-ready design. We accelerate the journey from idea to certified product.

In the industrial environment is all about performance, reliability and cost control. PEZY develops products that can withstand intensive use and meet high technical requirements. Our experience in design for manufacturing, material selection and tooling translates complex requirements into robust solutions. Through close collaboration with production partners, we achieve short lead times and predictable results.

Smart products require reliable and safe electronics. PEZY develops and integrates electronics that work seamlessly with the mechanical and aesthetic aspects of a design. From sensor technology and embedded software to test setups and validation. We ensure that functionality, quality and production efficiency are in balance. This results in solutions that not only work but can also be produced on a large scale.

Every choice in product development has an impact. PEZY helps organisations to make sustainability a reality without compromising on quality or functionality. We combine material knowledge, smart constructions and circular principles to create products that last longer, are easier to recycle and use fewer raw materials. Sustainability starts with the design, and we make it tangible.

Circular design requires a different way of thinking and a different way of building. PEZY translates circularity goals into practical design choices, such as recycled plastics, modular architectures, and reusable tooling. With tools like the Rapid Assessment Tool (RAT), we surface opportunities and risks early. The result is a development process where performance and responsibility reinforce each other.
