With Protobuild, we offer a complete solution: from engineering to physical construction, including testing and certification. Thanks to our OEM background and craftsmanship, we can respond quickly and flexibly, ensuring your project is always delivered on time and to specification. 

Why choose Protobuild? 

• Craftsmanship: Years of experience in complex prototype construction projects
• Flexibility: Ability to switch quickly between build-to-spec and build-to-print 
• Quality: From the first prototype to final inspection, consistently top quality
• Ability to adapt: Solutions for unexpected challenges
• OEM background: Understanding of manufacturability and what is and isn’t possible
• Everything under one roof: Engineering, production, testing and certification.

At Protobuild, we take a pragmatic and solution-oriented approach. We switch quickly between build-to-spec and build-to-print, adapt drawings where necessary and manage projects proactively. Every prototype is checked for dimensions, specifications and manufacturability. We test components and complete systems to ensure your product is ready for series production.

In addition, we arrange homologation and certification (type approval, CE marking) so that you receive a fully approved product.
