Design and manufacturing, one team, not a handoff

  • Mechanical engineering, industrial design, and embedded electronics in the same building as production
  • PCB design, firmware, and assembly handled by the same team that built the enclosure it ships in
  • Injection moulding, CNC machining, die casting, sheet metal, and box builds under the same roof
  • NDA signed before any file is shared, with the agreement lasting for the life of the engagement
  • ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and ISO/IEC 27001 certified process, not an informal workshop arrangement
  • A real office in Ludwigsburg, Germany, alongside Ahmedabad and Rajkot, for founders who want a local point of contact

How Founders Actually Onboard With Us

The same process whether this is your first production run or your fifth manufacturing partner search.

01

NDA & Scope Review

A non disclosure agreement is signed first, before any design file, schematic, or firmware is shared, then we review your scope for manufacturability.

02

Design & Engineering

Mechanical, electronics, and firmware work happens in one team, so a change on one side of the product does not become a handoff delay on the other.

03

Prototype Validation

A working prototype is built and tested before any production tooling is committed, catching fit and function issues while they are still cheap to fix.

04

Production Tooling & DFM

Design for manufacture review and tooling are done in house, at a batch size that matches a first production run, not a high volume minimum.

05

Manufacturing, QC & Shipping

Production, final quality control, and international shipping are handled directly, with a single point of contact from first unit to last.

Trusted by Founders Across Multiple Countries

Real client relationships, not a generic "we ship worldwide" claim, across our two priority markets and the countries we already work in most.

USA

Hardware startups looking past Silicon Valley and Shenzhen for a partner who owns design and manufacturing together.

United Kingdom

UK hardware teams using an Indian manufacturing partner for overflow capacity or a full production run.

Australia

Australian founders looking for real cost advantage without cutting quality, backed by ISO certification and verified reviews.

Canada

Canadian hardware teams shipping cross border, from first prototype through to production volume.

Germany

German and EU clients supported through our own Ludwigsburg office, not a remote-only relationship.

Belgium

Belgian and Benelux hardware teams reaching for an India based manufacturing partner, supported through the same Germany office.

What Founders Ask Before Choosing an Overseas Manufacturing Partner

How do you protect our IP as our Indian manufacturing partner?

A non disclosure agreement is signed before any design file, schematic, or firmware is shared with our team, and it stays in place for the life of the engagement. Your files are never reused for another client or shown as our own portfolio work without your explicit approval.

How do you manage quality control from a distance?

Our process is ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and ISO/IEC 27001 certified, with documented inspection at every stage from incoming material to final packaging. You get real inspection reports and photos before a shipment leaves, not just a verbal confirmation.

What is the minimum order quantity to work with CADLETE as a manufacturing partner?

We work with founders on their first production run, not only repeat large volume orders. Batch sizes are set to what a small or first time run actually needs, and we will tell you honestly if a process is not suited to your volume rather than force a mismatched tooling investment.

How does communication actually work across time zones?

Every enquiry gets a response within 24 hours from a real engineer, not an auto-reply, and our Ludwigsburg office gives European clients a working-hours overlap and a local point of contact when needed.

Why work with a design-and-manufacturing partner instead of a pure contract manufacturer?

A pure EMS provider takes over only after your design is finished, so any manufacturability issue found late becomes your problem to fix and hand back. Because our own engineering team designs the product, mechanical, electronics, and firmware are already built to manufacture cleanly before production tooling starts.

Does the Germany office mean CE compliance is handled for us?

Our Ludwigsburg team can support the CE compliance conversation and coordinate with your notified body, but CE certification itself is issued by an accredited third party, not by CADLETE. We are upfront about that distinction rather than implying a guarantee we cannot make.

Working with Cadlete Designs has been a real pleasure. They helped with so many design aspects I hadn't considered and offered many suggestions that I would have never thought of. Professional, prompt, and always willing to go the extra mile. I was extremely lucky to have found them! (Patent Pending)
