IDENTITY: Innovative design of plastic products

Koen & Co. develops market ideas into consumer products for mass production by designing physical concepts for relevant consumer markets. We have in-house knowledge ranging from aesthetics to production technologies, thus we are able to produce new ideas, in cooperation with contractor and producer, in a short time frame.

Goal: Our Goal

Our goal is to generate a higher turnover and profit margin for our customers by creating design products that fit the relevant consumer markets.

Expertise: What is our part in the Innovation Process

Innovation: profits!
When you cross-mix multiple innovative disciplines, the effectiveness and efficiency is much higher and becomes profitable. We innovate on the functional and technological level by using the Branding, Product Design and Production Technology disciplines.

Identity Design: creates stronger brands!
With a background in Identity Design and Product Design, Koen Koevoets knows how to put an identity into a product. This is an added value for companies that switch from 'buy-in design' to custom developed products, as well for companies that achieve to become a stronger brand.

Design Engineering: bridges design and engineering!
We are convinced that time and money can be saved by bridging the design and engineering phase. We take charge in guiding the whole cycle from initial idea to the production phase. In this way the idea will have a higher guarantee to succeed.

Technology: needs design!
With our technical background we create the bridge between the latest technology and design. We can easily apply the latest mass production technologies in our consumer products designs.

Market: Consumer market

We know the European (north/south/east) and North American market best. From a design point of view we know the consumers needs and turn them into consumer products.

Koen & Co. is located in Holland, North Europe. We works with diverse Co-creators, We have good contact with the US market and with Asian producers.

Clients: What we do for …

Brands: We generate consumer products ideas and develop them for mass production. We design innovative products and product identities, which fit the brand identity, to become or stay a leading ‘A brand’.

OEM Brands: With little changes on OEM products we make these buy-in products fit with the identity of the OEM Brand, to appear as a ‘B’ or ‘A brand’. We support brands that want to make the switch from an OEM Brand to the development of their own products.

Inventors: We make visualizations for (patent) ideas, concepts and do esthetical design as well as the materialization of these designs into functional prototypes.

Tailored Team: Tailored Team
