ARID Industrial Design Development and Manufacturing

Facilitating entrepreneurs via research, design, engineering, tooling, production, logistics and quality control, ARID Industrial design, development and manufacturing, provides end-to-end design and manufacturing solutions from concept to point of sale, and our extensive services cover specialist hand-crafted single items, in-house short run production, to the ongoing development, manufacture and delivery of mass produced goods.

Industrial design combines the realms of art, science and engineering – elegant form is functional, practical durability is refined and objects designed for everyday use should be intuitive, ultimately to the point of invisibility. True industrial design adds value – increased functionality, reliability, ease of use and reduced manufacturing costs – these are all results of the fully implemented industrial design process.

Product design is an integral part of this process – ARID Industrial design, development and manufacturing, provides both product and industrial design in tandem – product design is creating functional, aesthetically appealing solutions; industrial design is finding the most efficient, cost effective method(s) of manufacturing those solutions, through to delivery to the end user. When the design process is undertaken as part of the industrial design process – that is, from the outset, with the knowledge and experience of how the design will be manufactured, the result is invariably a higher quality, more effective, more reliable product, produced at a lower cost – this is the foundation of ARIDs philosophy and approach to design and production.

ARID Industrial design development and manufacturing, has over 25 years experience in product and industrial design and commercialisation, and with more than 300 products developed and taken to market, is proficient at providing solutions and all related services for manufacturing industries Australia wide, with a growing number of international customers.
