July 14, 2006 - Slingshot Expands Office Space, Capabilities - TechLINKS

Due to substantial growth and a new business segmentation strategy, Slingshot Product Development Group (www.slingshotpdg.com) is relocating its corporate headquarters and innovation center to a larger facility at 1665 Corporate Lakes Parkway; Suite 102, Lawrenceville, GA 30043. The new facility will house Slingshot's product development, engineering, and industrial design teams.

Based on recent growth and requests for their services from a broad range of companies, Slingshot is implementing a dynamic business model centered around teams focused on specific growth segments including consumer, medical and military/security products.

"Through our growth we have recognized that our proprietary product development process achieves the most successful results when we focus the expertise of our teams on the specific needs of individual industries," said Sam Zaidspiner, President of Slingshot. "While the overall process is the same when designing something as simple as a clothes hanger, or as complex as a ruggedized military device, each product requires the merger of Slingshot's unique expertise with our approach and process. Slingshot has the facility and organizational structure to focus our teams in a range of areas, from product design and ideation to highly technical engineering and manufacturing."

Slingshot is one of the Southeast's leading product design and development organizations. The company's development teams utilize unique and proven strategies to rapidly launch products for clients in a variety of industries, including consumer products, medical, electronics, military/security, automotive, aerospace, toys, and other categories. Slingshot has developed products with dozens of corporate clients including The Coca-Cola Company, Plantronics, Conair, Kimberly Clark, CharBroil and Lockheed, as well as with innovation-based start-ups.

The company offers a full range of product development services including ideation, conceptual design, prototyping, engineering, design for manufacture, packaging and program management. Additionally, sourcing and manufacturer coordination services are offered through Slingshot's Asia office near Shanghai, China.

Slingshot Product Development Group was founded in 2001 by Sam Zaidspiner, President; George Hatzilias, Vice President of Engineering; and Noah McNeely, Vice President of Design.
