What Made Studio does

Made Studio is a privately held product engineering and manufacturing firm headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, founded in 2012 by Boris Brawer. The company offers end-to-end product development services spanning mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, firmware development, prototyping, and product certification (FCC, CE, UL, RoHS), alongside software services for iOS/Android, embedded systems, IoT, AI, and robotics. Its manufacturing operations cover PCB/PCBA production, injection molding, metal forming, product assembly, packaging design, and logistics, run from a 3,000 sqm facility with four assembly lines and a 1,000+ supplier network capable of producing 10+ million parts per year. The firm is staffed by 20+ in-house engineers and 35+ production workers, with named team leads across product development, manufacturing, and software functions.

Made Studio serves two primary customer segments: Fortune 500 companies requiring streamlined end-to-end product development and startups needing prototyping and low-volume production support. Its industry verticals include consumer electronics, IoT, wearables, medical devices, health technology, VR, micro-mobility, audio, and lighting. Named customer references include FirmTech (development and manufacturing of an award-winning wearable for men's sexual health) and an anonymous CEO citing a 100K-unit production run and ongoing collaboration on 8+ subsequent products. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven, with no public pricing disclosed. The firm is founder-owned with no disclosed external funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors.

The company's go-to-market is direct B2B field sales, targeting both enterprises and startups globally, with marketing executed through its website, blog content, and professional networking. Made Studio positions itself as the missing link between Western product design and Asian manufacturing, leveraging Taiwan-based operations to compress cost and lead time while offering integrated certification assistance for US and European market entry.
