As you know, thingCHARGER is our own invention, and from the start
we knew that to deliver the highest quality product possible, with all
of the capabilities we promised, we had to find the right manufacturing
partner.
We can’t understate how important this is.
Stories abound of inventors sending money off to manufacturers and
getting sub-standard or dangerous goods in return. If you’ve backed
other crowdfunded projects, you’ve likely encountered at least one final
product that just wasn’t up to standard. Without expertise in
manufacturing, the entire project could easily be put in jeopardy.
And when your product is an electrical product that plugs into the
wall of your home, quality (and safety) becomes 1000x more important. We
thought we had a great manufacturing partner from the get-go, but
things didn’t materialize as we would have liked and the partnership
wasn’t a good fit.
Today, we cracked it.
We reached a critical milestone in the development of thingCHARGER by finalizing and signing a licensing agreement with P3 International,
a New York City-based privately owned manufacturer and distributor.
While it took until today to get the formal agreement (so we could
actually let you know about this!) a lot of work has been done with P3
over the last four months on product development and manufacturing (including
designs, molds and certifications) while we worked out the legal
details.
P3 is extremely enthusiastic about bringing to market the highest
quality product possible without cutting corners on quality or safety.
We are still leading the process of creating thingCHARGER as we
originally envisioned it. P3’s 25 years of experience in manufacturing
means we can combine our design with world-class execution.
Why P3? We love these guys.
They get thingCHARGER and are far more excited about creating it than
any of the other potential licensees we considered...
