One of the greatest advantages of working with Merit Technology is the highly responsive engineering support available from Merit's in-house engineering team and its US based partners. We also usually have American personnel based in Merit's office in China. Together we offer the best of both worlds, with around the clock support. Merit's in-house engineers provide expertise in optimizing part design for manufacturability and cost efficiency. For more upstream product development, Merit also works closely with Smartshape Design, a US based product design and development firm, to offer the most efficient and effective process possible for bringing products from concept to production.
