Custom Product Technologies

What Custom Product Technologies does

Custom Product Technologies, LLC (CPT) is a privately held manufacturer's representative firm headquartered in Bedford, New Hampshire, operating since 1994 (LLC incorporated in 2002). The firm functions as a curated gateway between OEM engineering teams in the northeast United States and a vetted network of four manufacturing principals: FM Corporation (ISO 9001:2015-certified structural foam and injection molding from 90-1,450 tons), Mechanical Drive Components (ISOQAR AS9100-certified precision CNC machining and assemblies), Priority Designs (industrial design, mechanical engineering, prototyping, and soft goods), and Keypoint Life Science Solutions (CNC machining, welding, and assembly in Malaysia/Singapore).

CPT earns commissions on sales routed through its principals, providing OEM clients single-point access to design-for-manufacturing guidance, precision CNC machining, injection molding, structural foam molding, prototyping, and assembly services spanning conceptual design through high-volume production. Its go-to-market is sales-led, driven primarily by founder David DiNardo's three-decade relationship network with healthcare and life sciences OEMs, supplemented by his son Benjamin DiNardo in business development.

The firm's named enterprise customer base is concentrated in life sciences and medical instrumentation, including Hologic, Waters Corporation, and The Perkin-Elmer Corporation, with documented relationships spanning 10-26 years. CPT markets through personal relationships, LinkedIn, MANA membership, and its company website (cptglobal.net), with no disclosed digital marketing or technology platform. Pricing is project-quote-based with no publicly disclosed tiers or contract terms beyond "multi-year contract" billing cadence.
