About Henning, Inc.
Henning Product Development offers product consulting services including Product Design, Engineering, Prototyping and Strategy to industry and individuals in the Los Angeles area and nationwide through our website HenningProductDevelopment.com.
We have over 20 years of experience in new product development, product design, market research, proof-of-concept models, aesthetic models and pre-production validation models for consumer products and medical equipment device manufacturers.
Technology today allows people to view the results of their CAD efforts very quickly. The best way to get a customer excited is to make a real part, and we know how to do that.
We have made prototypes and presentation models for buyers at top retailers including The Home Depot, Lowe's, Bed Bath and Beyond, Target and more. We have also made pre-production functional parts that look like they come right off the assembly line for plumbing, lighting, medical and recreational products. We have helped companies go from an idea to a looks-like/works-like show model – complete with proof-of-concept and design engineering – in less than 40 days. We love what we do, and we can do it fast.
Henning Product Development offers prototypes made with ABS and Nylon plastics, metal and short-run urethane though our Rapid Prototype Service. We also offer “Finishing Touches” including chrome plating for customer presentations and focus group studies.
Henning Product Development also bridges the gap between prototype and manufacturing with our Manufacturing Services. We have a large network of contract manufacturers that include injection molding, precision screw machine parts in brass and Stainless Steel, and CNC production. We are also very good at sourcing components in the US, Europe and China. If we do not have a manufacturer in our network, we can find one.
We have helped companies gain UL, IAPMO and CSA certification, build one-off working prototypes for customer feedback, source suppliers for internal components and bring together manuals and packaging for a complete new product solution. We have served clients in the healthcare, medical devices, consumer goods, industrial services, appliance, automotive, and energy efficiency industries.
From the initial design to conceptual engineering, prototyping and manufacturing, Henning Product Development can be an important piece of your next product launch strategy. To find out more, give us a call.
About Henning Zieger
Growing up, I had the unique opportunity to explore my father's manufacturing plant. I would spend my summers as a child exploring the many departments within the plant. By the age of 10, I had landed my first job setting up the computer system that would track parts for manufacturing and shipment.
At 15, I began working in the machine shop building and repairing molds for the injection molding machines. I would also make prototypes of new products and build tools and fixtures for the assembly line.
I graduated from the University of Southern California with two years of mechanical engineering and a bachelor's of science in business administration with an international finance emphasis. While in school I continued to work at my father's company as a marketing manager.
After college I developed the marketing department at my father's company. The impetus was my ability to manage and gain efficiencies from the in-house art department. By creating and implementing a centralized project management system, I reduced turn-around time and increased on-time performance. Through its success, these processes extended to the engineering and product design functions of the organization, which allowed the company to launch new products with coordination and precision.
The filtering of the myriad requests from both inside and outside of the company allowed the company to launch new products that often exceeded expectations, all while reducing costs an average of 15% per year.
The business processes I developed allowed me to create a graphic design agency called Genau Design. My background and understanding of product launch processes allowed the design company to design and procure sales materials to effectively communicate to the market.
The design agency became more and more involved in the engineering and development of new products. In 2011, I launched Henning, Inc. with an emphasis on helping companies and inventors bring their products to market with the efficiency and experience only first-hand experience can provide.
I have the unique ability to attract top talent and manage projects to deliver effective solutions from the initial concept through final production, and to have a go-to-market strategy that works.
I invite you to explore our website to learn more about what we do, and to call me directly to see how me may be able to help you get your project off the ground.
