Manufacturing Is Where Most Products Go Wrong. Not Ours.

Most companies that struggle with manufacturing struggle for the same reasons. They are dealing with factories they do not know, managing communication across time zones and languages, and hoping the product that comes off the line matches what was designed. When it does not, fixing it is expensive and slow.

Pro-Dev does not work that way. We have our own supply chain, built over more than a decade. We have our own team in China, managing quality and production on the ground. And we have the engineering depth to make sure what goes into production is exactly right before a single part is made.

Your product. Made right. Delivered to your door.

We Have Built Our Own Network. You Benefit From It.

Over more than a decade, Pro-Dev has built long-term relationships with manufacturing partners across China and New Zealand. These are not broker introductions or one-off factory connections. They are working partnerships with production history, quality track records, and direct communication built over years.

That matters because a factory that knows you, respects your standards, and values the ongoing relationship will treat your product differently from one that is seeing your design for the first time.

Our China team is present on the ground during critical production phases. Not monitoring by email. Actually there, managing quality, resolving issues, and making sure what comes off the line is what was agreed.

Your IP Stays Yours

We protect your designs, data, and tooling at every stage, ensuring your IP is secure and never shared.

You Own Every Part of the Process

From CAD files to tooling and final production data, everything we create for your product belongs entirely to you.

Manufacturing

What We Manage For You

Manufacturing Is Where Most Products Go Wrong. Not Ours.

Factory Sourcing And Qualification

we match your product to the right manufacturing partner from our established network, not a cold search

Production Quoting

clear unit pricing and tooling costs from real factory engagement, not estimates

Tooling management

your tooling is designed, built, and owned by you from day one

First Article Inspection

the first parts off the production line are inspected against your approved design before a full run is committed

On-The-Ground Quality Control

our China team manages quality at the factory during critical production phases, not by email from Wellington

Production Management

timeline tracking, issue resolution, and regular reporting so you always know where your product stands

IP protection

supplier contracts specifically structured for offshore manufacturing, enforceable in Chinese courts

Door To Door Logistics

freight, customs, and last mile delivery coordinated by us, so your product arrives at your door without you chasing multiple parties

Door To Door Logistics

From Factory to Your Door. You Pay One Amount. We Handle Everything.

Once production is complete and quality is confirmed, we manage the full logistics chain through our own logistics partner. Freight, customs, documentation, and last mile delivery are all coordinated by us so you do not have to manage multiple parties or navigate unfamiliar processes.

One Price, Fully Managed

You agree one amount with us. We handle everything from the factory floor to your warehouse, your retailer, or your customers. No surprises. No chasing freight companies. No customs headaches.

Global Logistics, Seamlessly Coordinated

We have managed logistics for products shipped to New Zealand, Australia, the United States, and other markets. If you are selling into multiple markets, we can coordinate multiple delivery streams from a single production run.

Sustainability And Right To Repair

Designed to Last. Built Responsibly.

We design products with longevity in mind. That means responsible material selection, designing for durability rather than early obsolescence, and building products that can be serviced and repaired rather than thrown away.

Designed for Right‑to‑Repair from Day One

Right to repair is increasingly becoming law in the EU, Australia, and the USA. Designing for it from the start is significantly cheaper than retrofitting it later. We raise it at the design stage so it never becomes an expensive problem.

Committed to Responsible Material Standards

Pro-Dev is a member of Plastics NZ, reflecting our commitment to responsible material use and engagement with evolving industry standards.

Your Idea Is Protected from the First Conversation

We sign an NDA before any project discussions begin. Due to these same agreements with our clients, we are not always able to publicly display all of the products we have designed and manufactured. We take confidentiality seriously on both sides.
