Bespoke stunt engineering service
We offer a bespoke stunt engineering service to meet the unique needs of stuntmen, stunt coordinators and other professionals who work in the stunt industry.
Initially, this involves us discussing with you the functional and aesthetic qualities you need for a product. We’ll then work closely with you to transform your initial idea into a feasible design.
Throughout the manufacturing of a prototype or finished product, we’ll keep you involved as much as you’d like to be. You’re more than welcome to see how parts are made and your completed product assembled.
We can be your one-stop shop for precisely designed and manufactured stunt equipment that meets your exact needs.
