"Good"

Would you like to boost sales with an expanded product line?
Do some of your present products look "tired" in their market?
Do you want to cut your costs or improve product performance with new technologies?
Are you looking for "invent to order" design ideas to help your company grow?

If so, we can help. We're Applied Design Laboratories Inc. (ADL), a consumer electronics design firm. We've built a business around new product development. And we have the engineering talent to bring your ideas to life.

Is it expensive to develop a consumer electronic product? Costs can vary from a simple PC board only product to a full blown product with cases and mechanical components taken to manufacture in the Orient. We have done all of these ranging from $5000 to $200,000 projects. A lot of the engineering cost goes into saving parts cost-a major factor if you plan to manufacture in large quantities.

This experience has taught us to design things that can be built reliably at low cost. So you can manufacture them profitably.

CLIENTS
 

ADL has served since our founding:

... and numerous small clients. 

BLURB
 

Our experience has taught us to design things that can be built reliably at low cost. So you can manufacture them profitably.

We cut our teeth in highly-seasonal, consumer markets. There we learned the importance of deadlines. So you can count on us to help you meet your production schedules.

We know a design is not done until it ships. So you can depend on us to respond quickly to problems wherever they arise.

ADL has the contacts, resources, and experience to deliver results.

We are a deliberately small company,where managers and designers get intimately involved with your needs, your staff, and your results. You will know the people you're working with, and you won't have to play 'phone tag to find them when the need arises. We use lots of subcontractors who are the best at what they do.

Engineering service is our only business, so we have to do it well. We treat every job as if it is our biggest. That means getting it done on time, responding to changing needs during development, and supporting you after production release.

We are responsive. We want long-term relationships, so we treat clients like partners.

Because they are.
