A customised, end-to-end solution across the full product development cycle: feasibility, DFM, prototyping, quality assurance and logistics. We adapt to your model: full design responsibility (ODM), joint development (JDM), value-added engineering on your existing design, or pure manufacturing execution (OEM).
Partners sourcing & qualification, IP licensing, M&A advisory, market development. We identify and structure the industrial partnerships that move your strategy forward, in Europe and across Asia.
"Seres", the name ancient Greeks gave to the land we now call China, derived from the Chinese word for silk (丝 : sī). The first great trade bridge between East and West. Two thousand years later, we carry that same idea forward.
From a single validated prototype to multi-million-unit production runs, we adapt our engagement, our team, and our economics to the stage your company is in.
Specialised design studios or creative founding teams deliver a brilliant validated prototype. Then comes the hard part: DFM, supplier selection, factory negotiation, QC, manufacturing operations, certification, logistics. With 20+ years specialised in electromechanical products and the EU-China industrial ecosystem, SERES Group guides you on the best approach and optimal pathway to your first production run at scale.
You know your product. But accessing reliable, cost-efficient manufacturing without a local team is constant friction. End-to-end supply chain management, on-site QC and logistics, at the cost of a service rather than a subsidiary.
Listed companies and industrial groups need speed and flexibility internal teams can't always provide. As a pure service company with no own products, we have no competing agenda: full IP confidentiality, no conflict of interest, and the results-oriented local agility you need without fixed cost.
Our core activity is to bring products concepts to a running production line. But some projects need other models of cooperation, from a market entry question to a signed industrial alliance. We adapt.
Customized end-to-end engineering and project management across the full product development cycle. It starts with understanding your design maturity and resources to define the adapted project model: design responsibility (ODM), value-added engineering, or pure manufacturing execution (OEM).
Sometimes the highest-value move isn't developing the product ourselves, but structuring the right industrial framework around it. Cross-border industrial strategy and execution: we identify, qualify and structure the right partnerships for expansion or optimisation.
Entrust your project to experienced operators specialized in electromechanical products and manufacturing environments, with deep local ecosystem knowledge. We bring a best-practice framework and standards that can align with our project counterpart's, so the work moves from day one, avoiding costly mistakes and delivering with efficiency.
Operating across industries and continents, we put ourselves in our counterpart's shoes before proposing. Geopolitical shifts, supply-chain realities, cultural codes, technology evolution, and each client's own situation and standards: we read the full context and shape every project to match it.
Hardware industrialization is demanding and there are no shortcuts, only better, more direct paths. We think and act like entrepreneurs alongside you with results-oriented execution and success-based compensation. And we know that for sustainable value, every party involved must align around long-term outcomes at every step of the project.
Most providers execute the middle 80% of a project competently. Our obsession is with the other 20%: the top 10% that defines the strategic framework to follow to achieve the objectives and the bottom 10% where the make-or-break details are hiding.
As a pure service company with no own products, we have no competing agenda. And because the products we help develop are innovative and custom-made, IP protection shapes how we structure the supply chain, how we select partners, what information flows where.
A small core team with all the skills to lead a project from A to Z, extended by a proven network of partners and specialists selected to match each project's needs. You get the capability of a larger firm, without paying for the overhead. That is why we can move fast, decide fast, and stay accountable end to end.
Project teams are often scattered across continents and time zones, and that freedom to operate relies on trusting each other to work for the collective benefit. What makes it cohere is a shared sense of purpose: in what we build, in who we serve, and where it lands. None of which is possible without integrity and friendliness among colleagues, with our clients, with our partners.
The most common questions we get from founders, supply chain leaders and industrial groups. Anything else, just reach out.
SERES Group is a B2B service company specialised in custom electromechanical products, operating across two pillars. The first is Product Development & Supply: covering the full cycle from feasibility study, design for manufacturing (DFM), prototyping, mass production, quality assurance and logistics, in ODM, JDM, OEM or value-added engineering models. The second is Industrial Alliances: supplier qualification, technology IP licensing, M&A advisory, market development, and cross-border industrial strategy between Europe and Asia.
We work with three types of clients. Startups and scale-ups that have a validated hardware prototype and need to move to serial production in Asia. SMEs that need to optimise their global supply chain without the overhead of a local subsidiary. And blue chip or listed industrial companies that need speed, flexibility and local execution on both continents without IP risk.
We adapt to the client's level of design ownership. ODM (Original Design Manufacturing) means SERES takes full design responsibility. JDM (Joint Design Manufacturing) means the design is co-developed between the client and SERES. Value-added engineering means SERES improves or adapts an existing client design for manufacturability. OEM means pure manufacturing execution based on the client's complete design. All four models are available across the EU-Asia supply chain.
Our European headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium, and our Asia headquarters is in TST, Hong Kong, with on-the-ground operations across Asia. This dual presence enables local support, sourcing, QC inspection, and project management on both continents.
As a pure service company with no own products, we have no competing agenda. We do not market or brand our own products, which eliminates the conflict of interest common in trading companies. We act as an intermediary that filters and distributes know-how under full confidentiality, ensuring there is no IP leakage to competitors or to the market.
We are multi-sector and have delivered projects in automotive, industrial printing, building and construction tools, e-mobility, home appliances, and mechatronics. The common thread is custom electromechanical products requiring EU-Asia industrial execution.
We operate a flexible, results-oriented revenue model. Fixed revenues cover costs (time-based service fees, lump-sum budgetary packages). Variable revenues define profit (commissioning and success bonuses, buy-sell gross margins, equity participation). The model is designed so that our financial success is directly tied to the client's project outcomes.
Whether you have a finished prototype or just a napkin sketch: we'll tell you honestly what the path to production looks like.
