Evaluation

Gelblaster, a successful Kickstarter campaign, set up manufacturing in China on their own. After their first year in business they were approached by Walmart for a high volume purchase order that their current factory was unable to produce in time.

Solution

Chain Solutions set Gelblaster up with a new factory, new tooling and production of order within 30 days. They were able to meet Walmarts deadline and remain in all stores across the country. With Chain Solutions help, Gelblaster scaled their product offering from 3 SKU's to 30 SKU's in one year. With a collaborative approach, the GB product designers work closely with CS designers and engineers to create a great integration from product design to manufacturing. Chain Solutions prides itself on being a much more involved contract manufacturer and engineering firm.
