Fibernet combines over 30 years of optical, electronic and mechanical engineering expertise with in-house manufacturing capabilities to help startups address these challenges.
From engineering support and New Product Introduction (NPI) to custom assemblies, contract manufacturing and production planning, we provide the expertise and capabilities required to support product development and manufacturing.
Our flexible service model allows startups to select the engineering or manufacturing support that matches their current development stage.
Product Engineering & Design for Manufacturing
Turn Engineering Concepts into Practical Manufacturing Solutions.
Innovative product designs must be evaluated not only for functionality but also for manufacturing feasibility, component availability, assembly requirements and production cost.
Fibernet works with development teams to address optical, electronic and mechanical integration challenges and assess practical manufacturing considerations.
Our capabilities include Build-to-Spec engineering support, Design-to-Cost considerations, component selection and production process planning.
By incorporating manufacturing knowledge into engineering decisions, startups can identify potential production challenges before committing to more extensive manufacturing activities.
New Product Introduction (NPI) & Industrialization
Bridge the Gap Between Development and Manufacturing.
The transition from product development to production requires defined processes, manufacturing documentation and appropriate production infrastructure.
Fibernet supports startups through the NPI process, helping translate engineering requirements into practical manufacturing workflows.
Our capabilities include:
- Manufacturing process definition and planning
- Production documentation and work instructions
- Production line setup and configuration
- Component and material planning
- Manufacturing process optimization
- Production readiness support
Our engineering and manufacturing teams work together to address the requirements of each project and support an organized transition toward production.
Specialty Optical Fibers & Custom Optical Assemblies
Advanced Optical Engineering for Specialized Product Requirements.
Startups developing photonics, optical communications, laser-related and medical technologies may require components and assemblies beyond standard commercial configurations.
Fibernet provides specialty optical fibers, precision fiber preparation, splicing, connectorization and custom-designed optical assemblies.
Our expertise supports the integration of optical components into specialized products where fiber characteristics, optical interfaces, mechanical constraints and application requirements must be considered together.
For startups developing optical or photonics-based products, Fibernet combines component expertise with practical optical assembly and manufacturing capabilities.
Electronics, Cable Harness & Electro-Mechanical Manufacturing
Integrated Manufacturing Capabilities Under One Roof.
Hardware development frequently requires the integration of electronic assemblies, optical and copper connectivity and mechanical components.
Fibernet provides in-house manufacturing capabilities covering:
Surface-Mount Technology (SMT)
Final assembly and system integration
Fibernet’s manufacturing facilities include automated SMT production and inspection technologies such as Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) and X-ray inspection.
These complementary capabilities allow startups to source multiple manufacturing services from a single technology partner.
Flexible Manufacturing & Supply Chain Support
Manufacturing Services Adapted to Your Product Requirements.
Startups often require manufacturing flexibility as product designs evolve and production requirements change.
Fibernet specializes in high-mix, low-volume manufacturing projects while also maintaining capabilities for larger production programs.
Our approach allows customers to select specific engineering and manufacturing services or broader end-to-end production support.
Capabilities include production planning, supply chain management, sourcing coordination and manufacturing process definition.
This flexibility helps startups align manufacturing activities with the technical and operational requirements of their product.
Engineering Expertise for Demanding Product Applications
Medical technology startups often require specialized optical and electronic components, precision assemblies and defined manufacturing quality processes.
Fibernet has experience supporting medical device companies through different stages of product development and manufacturing.
Our capabilities include custom specialty fiber assemblies, optical engineering, electronics manufacturing, cable harness production and electro-mechanical assembly.
Fibernet maintains an ISO 13485:2016-certified quality management system covering defined manufacturing and medical product assembly activities.
We also maintain ISO 9001:2015 certification.
These capabilities make Fibernet relevant to MedTech startups seeking engineering and manufacturing support within the company’s technical capabilities and applicable certification scope.
Why Fibernet?
More Than a Manufacturing Supplier. An Engineering & Production Partner.
Fibernet brings together technical expertise and practical manufacturing capabilities that startups would otherwise need to coordinate across multiple specialized suppliers.
Our differentiation is based on five core strengths:
Multidisciplinary Engineering: Optical, electronic and mechanical expertise supporting complex product requirements.
NPI & Industrialization: Practical experience translating engineering designs into defined production processes.
Specialized Optical Capabilities: Specialty fibers, custom optical assemblies and integration expertise.
In-House Manufacturing: SMT, PCBA, cable harnesses, electro-mechanical assemblies and final assembly.
Flexible Production Support: High-mix, low-volume capabilities, supply chain coordination and broader manufacturing services.
Founded in 1993, Fibernet combines decades of engineering experience with an established manufacturing infrastructure.
Rather than requiring every customer to follow the same development or production model, we help startups select the capabilities appropriate to their project requirements.
Long-Term Technology Partnerships
Supporting Product Development Beyond the Initial Project
Fibernet’s experience includes working with technology companies that began their relationship with us during the startup stage.
As product and manufacturing requirements develop, our engineering and production capabilities can support subsequent phases of the collaboration.
Our experience with medical technology companies, including Syneron Candela, demonstrates our involvement in specialized engineering and manufacturing projects.
