Find your Perfect Manufacturing Partner

Our global manufacturing network covers the UK, Mexico, Eastern Europe and the Far East.

We fully understand the requirements and challenges involved, having put hundreds of client projects into production and manufactured own our products as well.

Taking the pain out of product manufacturing

Manufacturing might seem daunting, but with D2M, you’re in safe hands. You have the product idea, and we have the expertise to bring it to life. After 15 years sourcing manufacturing partners from around the world for our clients and even producing our own product range, we have the knowledge and expertise to transform your idea into a quality market ready product.

Let’s be honest, in the maze of manufacturing, there are plenty of pitfalls, missed deadlines, last minute production issues and compromised product quality leading to expensive returns. For years, we’ve been forging global connections with reliable, cost-effective and communicative manufacturers, streamlining processes, and, most importantly, building profitable relationships.

At D2M, our holistic approach ensures that our design engineers are proficient not only in manufacturing but also in design and prototyping. Often the process starts with a design review to ensure that what you plan to put into production is the mst cost effective and appropriate design. Often product designers don’t have direct production experience and so a value engineering approach could save you significant amounts on your tooling and even your unit cost.

This scrutiny can also help minimise the need for significant alterations during production—a service uncommon among most companies. Our integrated expertise not only saves costs but also accelerates development timelines, a unique advantage we bring to the table.

Here are just some of the sectors that we work in

Leisure & Sports

Health & Wellbeing

Pet & Equestrian

Home & Garden

Contacting the team at D2M

We can start working with you and your team at any stage of the product development journey. We are happy to sign a confidentiality agreement before discussing the concept and can provide an expert review of your current design.

Testing & Certification

A key aspect of our service is the integration of certification and testing. We understand the critical importance of delivering quality products to your customers. By ensuring that each product meets rigorous global safety and quality standards, we not only reduce return rates but also enhance your brand’s credibility.

Approach

At D2M, we prioritise clear communication throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring transparency and eliminating surprise costs. Our flexibility allows us to adapt to the unique needs of each product, whether it’s a small-scale local run or an international volume production. Quality control is paramount to us, with rigorous testing of every element to meet our high standards. With a global network of partners, we ensure smooth operations wherever your product goes. We offer budget-friendly solutions without compromising on quality, providing tailored strategies to suit your needs and keep your cash flow in check.

Manufacturing Process Overview

Foundation Phase: Before delving into manufacturing details, we take time to understand your product thoroughly.

Our initial consultations focus on understanding your product, goals, target audience, market position, and potential obstacles. From there we can provide a roadmap.

Sourcing and Costing: Once you have the necessary manufacturing specification, prototype and final CAD files, we can start finding the right partner. (Our design engineers can produce these if necessary.)

Leveraging our network, we obtain unit prices, timescales and setup costs from suitable manufacturing partners, whether local workshops or international factories.

Into production: We guide you through final s eps into manufacture including tooling, sampling, setting up QA and QC and ensuring your product meets global safety and quality standards.

Phil and D2M are the best at what they do and I would highly recommend working with them if you are looking for a product design company. From the beginning, Phil's passion and expertise came through when deciding on a partner.

D2M is a great company to work with and one we would recommend for any new product development. One quality we have been impressed with is their minimum viable product approach. Looking forward to working on our next project with them.

We engaged Phil and the D2M team to help us fabricate a prototype for our product on an extremely tight timeline. We would thoroughly recommend them to anyone who needs to take their product from idea to prototype!

D2M were and still are a massive help to me. They are full of knowledge of the industry and helped bring my idea to physical product. They re-designed, refined and have thoroughly tested my idea to create something that is functional, aesthetic and realistic to manufacture.

Genius Alert!!! Phil is one of the best start-up consultants you find out there. In contrast to all other start-up consultants you will encounter, Phil has first-hand experience of what it means to raise start-up funding, build the team and navigate the highs and lows of the start-ups.
