Innovative Collaboration

We build relationships with international businesses looking for solutions in their manufacturing of high volume components and consumables. Our partners are businesses with niche applications or designs, who appreciate the technical collaboration, innovation and service that Synnovia offers.

Technical Collaboration

Our process of collaboration starts with curiosity. We look for the challenges our customers may be experiencing and we consider how we can make improvements. We ask the probing questions. Then we make it our business to work closely with customers to engineer those problems away. These win-win technical partnerships lead to a stream of innovative niche products that improve both businesses.

We work in partnership with a global customer base that includes market leaders and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) from a variety of innovative and dynamic industries.

Innovation at Synnovia requires deep problem-solving skills and considerable resilience. We learn through the rigorous process of experimentation. For us, the path to breakthrough technology is lined with failures and learnings, each one of these essential for inspired innovation.

Our intellectual property is driven by our experience designing and manufacturing specialist products efficiently to the highest quality specifications. We challenge ourselves to design and manufacture the best possible solution for niches where the needs and solutions are highly specific.

Service

We listen to our customers, take advantage of the latest technologies and we keep our promises. That’s because we’re in this for the long term. We care deeply about our service reputation and live by it to ensure our future success.

We approach everyday decisions and activities with a set of guiding core values. These core values keep our people focused on the long-term health of our business.
