‘Prototyping is a crucial process in innovation, and we recognized a market obstacle in this regard,’ says Up Strategy Lab CEO Daniel Nilsson
Gothenburg, August 9: Well-known Swedish/Chinese high-quality toolmaker The Tool Hub and Swedish innovation business laboratory Up Strategy Lab are excited to announce the launch of ProtoAnything, a collaborative joint venture.
ProtoAnything has been born out of the belief that crafting top-notch prototypes shouldn't be a complex, lengthy, or costly endeavour.
The new venture seamlessly integrates the dynamic strengths and specializations of The Tool Hub and Up Strategy Lab, creating a powerful new entity in the world of prototyping and additive manufacturing. The Tool Hub’s reputation for manufacturing high-quality tools at impressive speeds and low costs will be complemented by Up Strategy Lab’s track record of delivering tangible strategies to scale businesses and expertise in B2B sales, marketing, and digital product design. Together, their complementary capabilities form the foundation of ProtoAnything that is uniquely positioned to offer seamless, cost-effective, and top-tier prototyping services that cater to diverse industry needs.
Daniel Nilsson, co-founder and CEO, Up Strategy Lab, said the idea for ProtoAnything was born out of a genuine need. “We work with innovation every day, and we have heard entrepreneurs and engineers complain about the high prices and time-consuming nature of obtaining prototypes,” said Nilsson. “Prototyping is a crucial process in innovation, and we recognized a market obstacle in this regard.”
Ola Hellgren, CEO, The Tool Hub, said: “My partner Ulrika and I met Daniel and Noel [co-founder and design director, Up Strategy Lab] and we discussed the issue of prototyping and how inventors and product teams are limited. Jointly we created a new concept, ProtoAnything, where we are revolutionising the industry with high-quality prototypes for a fair price.”
ProtoAnything’s mission is to democratize access to cutting-edge manufacturing technologies, simplifying the process for clients to bring their concepts to reality, regardless of scale or complexity. Whether it's rapid prototyping, custom manufacturing, or low-volume production, ProtoAnything aims to be the trusted partner for everyone. "ProtoAnything signifies a new era of possibilities for innovators, entrepreneurs, and businesses looking to bring their ideas to life," emphasised Hellgren.
