  • 1.  How do I partner with a manufacturer to start up a sustainable innovation?

    Posted 07-24-2021 10:01 AM

    Hello everyone, 

    I know this does directly relate to civil engineering, however I am looking for some professional advisement. I currently have an idea for a potential innovative product. I have a pitch deck and am looking for a manufacturer to start the production of prototypes. What is my best route to reaching out to a manufacturer in the industry. Do I call the business or reach out to professionals on LinkedIn? 

    Thanks!

    I believe that there are people on Fiverr.com who know the process and can get things manufactured for you.  If you don't find what you need, contact me - I can connect you with one of these people.

    Hi John
    I can at least tell you the process for Simpson Strong-Tie.  We have a place on our website to submit new product ideas.  Its probably a good idea if the person with the idea at least submits for patent first to protect themselves.  There is a legal process that might involve non-disclosure agreements on both sides. 
    Just for your info, here is a link to our site:  https://www.strongtie.com/contact/new-product-request
