How We work
Collaborative Innovation Process
Innovative solutions that increase device performance and effectiveness
Creating products and applications with porous media is a complex task that can only be successful with a trusted partner – and that’s where we come in. At Porex, we have 60+ years of experience, and we know a thing or two about porous media. However, we understand that as someone looking to work with us, you must have a lot of questions about how we work and what our future collaboration looks like.
Our team is committed to providing you with the highest quality service through our streamlined and efficient process as we custom engineer porous polymers for your needs. We understand that every project is unique, and our process is designed to ensure that we exceed your expectations.
01. Design & Development
Porex’s innovative approach begins with a collaborative engineering partnership, focused on transforming ideas into reality. Through a comprehensive feasibility study, our experienced engineers work closely with clients to assess technical and commercial viability. We evaluate product function, geometry, unique requirements, anticipated volumes, and launch timeline to determine the best platform and material for optimal performance.
02. Prototyping & Testing
After the successful completion of the design and development stage, Porex proceeds to prototyping and testing. Our engineering team creates a physical model based on the agreed design specifications. Rigorous testing ensures the product meets tolerance and requirements, providing valuable insights for design adjustments.
03. Manufacturing & Quality Control
After successful prototyping and testing, Porex enters the production development stage with pilot production, finalizing product details, order quantity, and packaging specifications. Here, the refined design enters production with a focus on quality control and adherence to specifications.
04. Global & Local Support
After scaling manufacturing and continuing quality checks, Porex continues its commitment to customer support with a global presence. This includes monitoring production, continual testing, and providing engineering resources in the US, Europe, and Asia. Porex’s dedication to continuous improvement allows for adaptability and innovation, surpassing customer expectations in ever-changing markets and innovating with you at every step of the process.
