iFetch

"Pump has been a very important and critical part of the iFetch Team. They provide great inspiration in the early product development activities and are totally involved in all phases of the new product commercialization process. They turn the concepts into prototypes for testing, and they complete the design for manufacturing, including release and control documentation for fabrication and quality control. We could not have developed the great family of products we have without them."

Over the years we've collaborated on a number of innovation projects for both established brands and early-stage companies.

I look forward to our continued work together!"

Before creating my box, I owned this little Harbor Freight X-acto knife set with multiple handle storage. The handles jiggle around and get loose, and I only ever need one handle at a time.
