Background
Pivot – Expertise in Product Development and Manufacturing
Founded in Kansas City in 1972, Pivot started as a design and development engineering firm. It was one of the first US product development firms to jump into Asian sourcing, opening a procurement office in Taiwan in 1985. Pivot started a contract manufacturing division in the Philippines in 1989 and opened an office in China in 2005. In 2008 Pivot successfully completed the 13485 and ISO 9001 certification processes and their factory is FDA Registered.
“We develop finished products through a series of steps that we actively fine-tune everyday, ultimately creating something that gets to market more quickly and is less expensive to produce”, says Elton Ching, Pivot Vice President, “ People may have an idea of what it takes to develop a product, but when it comes to actual development they realize it is an entirely different process.”
Pivot has more than 30 years of expertise in the field of product development and manufacturing. Positioned as a world leader in outsourced product development and manufacturing, Pivot International offers the seamless convenience of working with a US company and the financial advantages of utilizing their own in house, offshore, tooling procurement and manufacturing capabilities.
