Tangent's manufacturing expertise enables the company to seamlessly guide clients from design to mass production. Founder Bryan Fox emphasizes that it is essential to ensure designs consider the limitations of a manufacturer as early in the process as possible. By involving the manufacturer in the design process, clients can avoid delays and stay within budget. “Tangent is uniquely positioned to bring a client's vision to life because of the company's deep understanding of product development from design until production,” Bryan says. “Our team's manufacturing knowledge allows us to easily make changes or improvements during any stage of the development design process. We already know the manufacturer's constraints starting from the materials being used until the final stages of production, meaning we’re incredibly efficient with our clients’ time and money.”
The company recognizes the uniqueness of every design and employs this mindset when guiding clients through product development. Tangent's team considers a client's needs, the product itself, and the manufacturing process simultaneously to provide the highest quality of service. This attention to detail is a leading reason why the company has so many long-standing clients, most of which have been with them since inception. “Many of our clients are referred to us and we are proud that our reputation speaks for itself,” says Bryan.
In addition to honoring a client's vision, Tangent also focuses on maintaining beneficial relationships with clients and designers. The company fosters an environment where creativity and innovation thrive by remaining fluid during the design process. "Tangent's team of talented designers can cultivate unique creations because we allow them to have free reign in how they personify an idea into a fully functional product," says Bryan. "As a result, Tangent develops distinctive and purposeful designs that are accurate representations of our team's expertise and also align with a client’s vision.”
“We understand our client’s challenges better because we also have to take things to market,” explains Bryan. Tangent is actively designing and developing its own products based on emerging opportunities. “Whether it’s for ourselves or our clients we are always looking to create innovative new products that compete in today's fast-changing market.”
