Our Development Shop bridges design and production, building the jigs, fixtures, and prototype samples that turn a seating concept into a manufacturing-ready product. This dedicated team plays a critical role in product planning and continuous process innovation before any design moves to full-scale manufacturing.
WHAT WE DO
- Precision fabrication of jigs and fixtures for accurate, repeatable manufacturing.
- Prototype sample and mockup production for design validation.
- Cross-functional collaboration with our Design & Engineering team during product planning.
- Hands-on process refinement, identifying and solving manufacturing challenges before they reach the production line.
WHY IT MATTERS
- Every seating system TSI Group manufactures — from auditorium chairs to stadium seating — passes through this stage first. By validating fit, function, and durability at the prototype level, we catch design issues early, reducing errors and ensuring consistent quality once a product moves to bulk production.
A small, highly skilled team drives this process — proof that precision engineering starts long before the first unit reaches the manufacturing floor.
