Markel offers comprehensive product development expertise including design, engineering, and rapid prototyping. Experienced in taking on a project at any point in its development cycle, we can create new concepts, redesign existing products, or provide turnkey project solutions including manufacturing and production documentation.

In conjunction with our product development services, our marketing specialists can assist with packaging design as well as design and layout of retail displays and other promotional materials.
 

Experts in the design of complex plastic, metal and electronic assemblies, our designers set the stage for your product’s success by analyzing how it will be perceived and used by your customers. While conceptualizing, they are on the alert for opportunities to add value through inventive features, ergonomics, aesthetics and selection of cost-effective materials and production processes.
 

Our seasoned team of professional engineers offers a broad range of expertise – from electrical, mechanical, and industrial engineering to engineers specializing in tooling, circuit and software design. Using the most advanced design and modeling tools, Markel’s engineers develop, test and document the design of each part – assuring that the intent of the design concept is realized and the product is produced to your specifications. In addition, we can facilitate the certification process for UL, CE, FCC or RoHS.
 

During the development phase, we test the design of your product via rapid prototyping and, where appropriate, use castings, foam, machining and prototype PCBs. Used to quickly generate prototypes with the look and feel of the finished product, rapid prototyping can dramatically reduce development costs, accelerate time to market, and support marketing efforts for trade shows and other promotional activities.
