From Idea to Finished Part: Dundee Manufacturing’s Engineering Capabilities

Have a new product idea—or a better way to make an existing part? At Dundee Manufacturing, we turn concepts into real, manufacturable parts with speed and care. Our “Can-Do” mindset means we partner with you from the first sketch to full production, looking for cost savings and smart design improvements along the way.

Why Teams Choose Dundee

We build long-term relationships and learn your needs. Our goal is to help develop products and processes that lower total costs. When it makes sense, we’ll suggest redesigns or new processes to improve manufacturability without changing the part’s integrity. Because so much work happens in-house, we control quality and timelines from concept through build.

• Product design

• Product development & simulation

• Prototype & testing

Proof in the Field: Solar Success Story

Back in 2012, we partnered with a new solar rack manufacturer. Working directly with their engineering team, we helped establish their product line and supported growth into a multi-million-dollar business. That experience set the stage for Dundee to become a trusted contract manufacturer to the solar industry. We continually expand our capabilities to keep pace with evolving engineered product requirements.

The Importance of Collaboration

Collaboration is key in our process. We believe that working closely with our clients leads to better outcomes. By sharing insights and ideas, we can refine designs and improve efficiency. This collaborative approach not only enhances the product but also strengthens our partnership.

How to Get Started (It’s Simple)

Getting started with us is easy:

1. Share your idea or print. Even a rough sketch is fine.

2. We review for manufacturability and recommend cost-smart options.

3. Prototype → PPAP → Production, plus packaging/labeling as needed.
