That’s why we have created a network to adapt our team to any specific requirement. Each company in the network is independent and has its own expertise area, but we know each other and have been working in common projects from long time ago. We speak the same language and stay in the same tune, so we can join and start working inmediately with no time wasting. This international network also increases our common experience and contacts, allowing our clients to access a rich database of manufacturers, supliers, modelmakers, logistic companies, etc. Our partners around the world: Paris LE DESIGN POOL www.design-pool.com The Design Pool is a network of agencies and independent partners who, with different and complementary competences, intervene regarding the companies interrogations.

Hong Kong MIGHTY-QUATRE As we say at stimulo, “If you want to avoid problems in the product development, you’d better stay close to the factory “. On the computer perhaps everything looks correct, but you will never be 100% sure untill you make it real. That is even more dramatic when you talk about China. That’s why stimulo has intensified its activities there in the past recent years. Just to stay next to our clients and their production facilities, helping them “in situ” when problems arise.
