Testimonials
“We’re constantly being asked about processes our company can’t support, like plastics, printed circuit board assembly, extrusions and more. These processes are readily available at many of Rochester’s manufacturing businesses so there’s an opportunity for manufacturers to be referred to work.”
Scott Baxter
Marketing & Business Development Manager, Peko Precision Products

“Our Manufacturing Accelerator clients from Cohort 1 are amazing! AGR, HCO and K-Neesio each came to BZDesign with very defined business needs, and strategic goals for their product development and marketing support projects.
We have since recommended several startups in our network to the Manufacturing Accelerator Program as it really helps founders paint the full picture of what it takes to successfully commercialize their product.”
