Product lifecycle management
Design, build and ship incredible products
Good things come to those who partner. Would the Wright brothers have invented the airplane without each other? Would Drs. Watson and Crick have discovered DNA’s double helix working alone?
We doubt it – or it would have taken longer. Much longer. What if you could team up with a trusted manufacturing and supply chain partner who can turn your ambitious ideas into winning products, faster? Ideation, prototyping, engineering, manufacturing, reverse logistics – Flex’s product development lifecycle services can help you design, innovate, build and deliver products efficiently and at scale. And our circular economy solutions provide a holistic and sustainable approach throughout the lifecycle.
Product life cycle services – choose any or all
We have the expertise, capabilities and scale to help you across the entire product development lifecycle. You can work with us as your trusted global technology, supply chain and manufacturing solutions partner from design and development to manufacturing, delivery and product recovery. Or, if you don’t need all of our services at once, we'll meet you wherever you are in the product development process.
We combine our deep expertise with our diversified, global supply chain network to provide the resiliency and agility you require to minimize risk. With our know-how and digitalization tools, we can manage the full product lifecycle – so you can keep your customer promises.
Our approximately 3,000 design engineers have the expertise – from concepting and design and development engineering to manufacturing and after-market services. We partner with you to speed your time to market, then help you scale in any region.
We know your ideas are just as valuable as your final product — we keep your IP safe. Using the highest levels of security, we make sure your project stays confidential and your product is protected through all product development stages.
