Product Development Health Check – Complimentary 10-Minute Zoom Session
If you’re developing a new product, considering injection molding, or unsure whether your design is ready for manufacture, this complimentary consultation can help point you in the right direction.
In this short Zoom session, product development and manufacturing specialist Ryan Groom will discuss your product, identify potential manufacturing or tooling considerations, and help determine where the greatest opportunities—or risks—may exist before you commit significant time or investment.
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of the next steps, practical guidance on whether your project is ready to progress, and confidence about whether a more detailed strategic consultation would be valuable.
Whether you’re at the concept stage, preparing for prototype tooling, evaluating manufacturing options, or experiencing production challenges, this conversation is designed to help you make more informed decisions from the outset.
Make confident tooling, production, and manufacturing decisions with expert guidance from Ryan Groom, a third-generation toolmaker with 20+ years of hands-on injection molding and product development experience.
Ryan helps businesses evaluate whether their product designs are ready for manufacture, identify potential production challenges, and make smarter decisions around materials, tooling, design, and manufacturing strategy.
Unlike many manufacturing consultants who provide recommendations only, Ryan’s advice is backed by the capability to take products through the complete manufacturing journey — from prototype tooling and initial validation runs through to commercial production volumes. His team can support the transition from concept refinement to production-ready components, ensuring recommendations are practical, achievable, and aligned with real manufacturing outcomes.
During your consultation, Ryan can help with:
Ryan brings a rare combination of toolmaking heritage, factory-floor experience, lean manufacturing knowledge, and product development expertise. Having worked across automotive components, packaging, engineering polymers, and complex injection molded products, he has seen the mistakes that commonly delay projects, increase costs, and create production challenges — and knows how to avoid them.
His experience comes from decades of practical manufacturing, including working alongside highly experienced toolmakers, molding specialists, and production teams. This gives Ryan a unique ability to identify issues early and provide solutions that work in the real world.
This consultation is ideal for:
Whether you are at the concept stage, preparing for production, or trying to solve a manufacturing challenge, Ryan can help you make better decisions before committing significant time and capital.
One hour with Ryan can help identify issues before they become expensive tooling mistakes.
Welcome to smarter, more effective packaging.
Launching a new product? Updating an existing line? Rethinking how to present and protect your items?
We work with you to co-create a tailored packaging strategy shaped by your product, brand, and goals. Together, we clarify the full potential of your packaging—how to select and combine the right materials, sustainability options, compliance requirements, cost efficiencies, timelines, and market fit—to deliver a solution with strategic and practical impact.
With over 30 years of experience in the supply of packaging equipment and materials, our CEO, Ben Bornstein leads the strategic packaging consultations focused on improving operational efficiency, cost control, and material performance. His approach looks beyond isolated packaging decisions to how packaging choices cascade through operations, consumables, workflows, and overall business outcomes. Where appropriate, we can also connect clients with relevant industry contacts to support next steps.
Key Guiding Principle:
A diagnosed problem is more than half solved.
Identified problems represent identified opportunities—serving as the starting point for meaningful improvements in packaging processes, consumable usage, and decision-making across the packaging value chain.
In addition to his packaging expertise, Ben has extensive experience organising and facilitating meetings and discussions with individuals across a wide spectrum of professions. These include company founders, corporate leaders, academics, policymakers, medical and technical professionals, legal experts, media figures, and high-net-worth individuals.
Working at this level has refined Ben’s ability to quickly establish context, ask the right diagnostic questions, and guide focused discussions that help decision-makers clarify priorities, align packaging strategy with operational realities, and concentrate on the opportunities that matter most.
