Leading UK shower manufacturer Aqualisa was looking to develop an innovative new product in order to retain market dominance. Other manufacturers had already developed electronic, rather than mechanical, mixer valves, but these were complex, unreliable and commercially unsuccessful. Aqualisa identified a strong market for a remotely controlled, reliable, electronic, thermostatic mixer valve which was easy to use and install. Aqualisa’s in-house expertise lay in mechanical product development – the company needed a partner skilled in electronics to help it realize its vision.
We worked with Aqualisa, and a team from industrial designers Seymour Powell, to provide a seamless interface between project teams and project phases. This enabled Aqualisa to retain control of the development cycle, maintain the integrity of its original vision, and achieve a highly successful product launch.
