We support the entire innovation process – from potential research through prototyping and engineering to production and market launch. Our approach is structured, efficient, and clearly focused on success in terms of timely market entry, planned manufacturing costs, and the required quality and circularity.
We analyze markets, trends, and technologies to identify untapped opportunities. Through structured research and stakeholder insights, we uncover innovation potential with real added value.
Based on our potential analysis, we develop tailored innovation strategies. We define objectives, market positioning, and technological approaches for sustainable product development.
To ensure the security of innovation, we conduct comprehensive patent searches. This allows us to identify existing intellectual property rights, avoid conflicts, and create the basis for a strategic patent application.
We transform ideas into patentable innovations. Through creative solutions, technical feasibility analyses, and targeted protection strategies, we secure sustainable competitive advantages.
Rapid validation through functional prototypes: We develop initial models, test functions, and optimize the technology. This enables an early assessment of feasibility and user-friendliness.
We bring ideas to life. With precise engineering and interdisciplinary expertise, we optimize designs, materials, and manufacturing processes for efficient production.
Every solution undergoes extensive testing. Functional tests, usability analyses, and iterative prototyping ensure that the product meets the highest technical and user-friendly standards.
Good design combines function and aesthetics. We develop market-driven, intuitive products and implement them as high-quality prototypes – for a realistic evaluation before production.
We support the transition to series production. With optimized manufacturing processes, material selection, and production partners, we ensure efficient, cost-optimized implementation.
From final product optimization to market launch: We offer strategic advice, support production and help to optimally position the product – for a successful start.

"Thanks to their consistent customer focus and its implementation, we were able to create a product that is unique on the market. The collaboration with Gerig Design AG was always very professional, solution-oriented, and pleasant."
Daniel Keller / Mario Sidler CEO, Sidler Metallwaren AG
"Creative and full of ideas, a meticulous worker, and technically proficient in all aspects. That's how we experienced Thomas Gerig of Gerig Design AG in the reflect project. Thomas Gerig had the idea for a novel mirrored cabinet concept. As an industry and marketing partner, we contributed our market perspective and production expertise, while Studio Gerig Design AG took care of the design, technology, and patenting. The result is the new, patented reflect mirrored cabinet system, which we have been successfully selling for years."
