Kickmaker

Industrializes high-tech prototypes to mass production

Kickmaker helps transform high-tech prototypes into mass-produced products. It offers turnkey industrialization or stage-specific support across the product development lifecycle, including design strategy, industrialization, production monitoring, quality control, and lifecycle management for industries like drones, robotics, mobility, electrification, medical devices, IoT, and consumer electronics. It works by providing end-to-end services from proof of concept to series production, leveraging 150 engineers and a mix of engineering office and consulting expertise, with localized production via four agencies (Paris, Lyon, Nantes, Shenzhen) and urban micro-factories. It differentiates itself with flexible, end-to-end and staged support, a strong engineering community, and geo-localized micro-factories that shorten lead times, aiming to bridge prototype development and scalable, market-ready manufacturing.
