Imperial has a skilled team of engineers to support your project from concept to arrival on your dock and beyond. Our engineering staff, using the latest software analysis packages, will take your concept and design and determine the optimal way to manufacture your product.

Our Project Engineers will work with your team to manage your design through the tool build, sampling, and production launch. Our Process Engineers are the leaders on the floor. Once the mold is approved and transferred into production, the Process Engineer will ensure the parts that come out of the mold are processed in the most efficient manner.

Design

Engineering oversight and adherence to defined processes for product development will accompany your project into manufacturing. Imperial’s Stage Gate Process provides visibility of project milestone’s and ensures that projects are delivered on time.

Prototyping
