From a new mechanism to an existing factory platform, we build the program around what the opportunity needs.

A connected product company

Product businesses are built in layers.

ZIV combines the disciplines required to move consumer products from opportunity through commercialization—connecting design, engineering, sourcing, manufacturing, brand building and retail execution in one operating system.

- Mechanism concepts
- Material direction
- Prototype refinement
- Assortment architecture
We develop from the consumer and commercial opportunity backward, not from a supplier catalog forward.

- Tooling coordination
