What Our Clients Say
“Bespak develop novel drug delivery devices for the global pharmaceutical sector and initially brought Ripcord Designs on board to help explore the feasibility of adding connectivity into a device through designing a range of concepts. During the project, they became an extension to our in-house team, bringing dedicated skills and resources in electronics and software development that helped us strengthen our design capabilities. Just as importantly, we’ve discovered that Ripcord Designs add a fresh perspective, challenging accepted thinking while offering fresh ideas and insights to the design process. They have a great team of specialists who are knowledgeable, responsive and pragmatic. “”
“Adam, Christa and the team at Ripcord have provided an extremely professional and diligent service in assisting Accunea in the development of our IVD platform. Ripcord led the electronics and embedded software development of our complex medical device development. The project has been challenging and required liaising between multiple parties. The communication and time management has always been excellent, and Ripcord will continue to be a valued supplier to Accunea in the future.””
