A different kind of industrial design company. We connect global engineering leadership with local manufacturing, implementation, and service: one integrated system, executed on the ground.
Make Locally Innovate Globally
Smart Factory Design combines global engineering expertise with local manufacturing, implementation, and service capabilities.
We design advanced PCB fabrication facilities, intelligent manufacturing systems, and closed-loop wastewater technologies that help manufacturers achieve higher ROI, stronger operational performance, and more sustainable growth.
Our model is simple: global innovation, locally executed.
Smart Factory Design was created to challenge conventional factory-development models. Traditional projects often treat factory layout, equipment, digital systems, wastewater, operations, and financial planning as separate workstreams.
We do not build factories the traditional way. We design them as one integrated system.
Our work connects:
The result is a factory designed not only to operate, but to create long-term competitive advantage.
PCB · Industry 4.0 · Wastewater · Engineered as one
We develop greenfield and brownfield manufacturing concepts around lifecycle economics, capacity, capability, scalability, and free cash flow.
We support PCB fabrication, PCB assembly, IC substrate, HDI, RF, aerospace, defense, power electronics, and other advanced manufacturing environments.
We use product data, process simulation, factory modelling, digital twins, and intelligent controls to reduce risk and improve manufacturing decisions.
We design wastewater systems that recover water, chemicals, and valuable metals while reducing waste, operating cost, and environmental impact.
We combine international engineering leadership with local partners, suppliers, installation teams, and service organizations.
Every industrial project must work within its local reality. That means understanding:
Our regional partners provide the local knowledge, manufacturing support, commissioning, and service capabilities required to turn an engineering concept into an operational system.
Our engineering model draws on international experience across North America, Europe, India, China, Taiwan, Vietnam, and other major manufacturing markets. We connect clients with:
This global perspective allows us to identify solutions that may not be visible within a single regional market.
Founder & Chief Engineer
Smart Factory Design is built on its founder's career: PCB and manufacturing leadership at TTM and Sanmina, highly automated US facilities designed and led at Whelen and GreenSource, and the first patented closed-loop Zero Liquid Discharge system for PCB fabrication. Postgraduate work at Yale, Wharton, Berkeley, and Cambridge turned hard-won engineering into strategy.
Built deep expertise in PCB fabrication, process engineering, yield improvement, and large-scale manufacturing leadership.
Designed and led a highly automated US PCB facility with cycle times measured in hours and an investment payback of approximately three years.
Invented and industrialized the first patented closed-loop Zero Liquid Discharge system developed specifically for PCB fabrication.
Created and led an advanced PCB factory for HDI, RF, aerospace, and defense applications, from concept and design through ramp-up and break-even.
Expanded his experience through postgraduate study in strategy, sustainability, innovation, and industrial transformation.
Founded in 2021 to combine proven manufacturing leadership with high-ROI factory engineering, digital manufacturing, and next-generation circular economy systems.
Engineering leadership and local execution across three continents, wired into a single global delivery model.
