10 years of bdh !

For me, this is cool. A decade of having the privilege to do what I love and make a living from it. Thinking back on the clients we’ve worked with and the projects we’ve done, it’s hard to believe how many there has been. Each client relationship has been special. It takes so much to go from idea to production. Seemingly millions of emails.. countless hours in CAD.. thousands of prototypes.. hundreds of meetings & manufacturer visits.. and many successful product launches. I really get to know the people who choose to work with us and trust us to help make their ideas a reality. You don’t think about it in the moment, but BDH has done a lot in ten years; it’s not something I take for granted. Having a positive impact on society is what it’s about for me.. I sure am excited for what’s to come!

Nine years of BDH!

Nine years baby! The last year has been great, consisting of an interesting collection of client projects. We’ve been busy developing a category defining line of beer brewing & soda carbonization products, an innovative water treatment shower head, and interesting consumer electronics project with fully integrated custom PCBs. We’re carrying the momentum on into the new year and look forward to what’s next. Maybe your project finds a place in our 2025 pipeline!
