Upseat was a special project that allowed ProCIM to “bring the client’s idea into reality.” In addition to the motivation for the project challenge, Upseat is a chair developed for children with special needs. It has an ergonomic base and a raised seat that promotes upright posture and healthy hip development for the child. Therefore, it is a unique product on the market to initially serve children with special needs. 

Steve Pankratz, founder of Nuvate and creator of the product, approached ProCIM with a foam project sketch. Based on Steve’s idea and prototype sketch, Paulo Mattos developed the specific design, a 3D prototype, and later the creation of a mold for product validation.

 With adjustments being made based on feedback from leading North American physiotherapists, ProCIM, together with Nuvate, reached the ideal production project for the molds that began to manufacture the Upseat.

Partnership for product development based on customer ideas and needs.

Here’s another case where we turned a customer’s idea into reality, but this time starting from an existing product in the market. In this case, the challenge was to understand how the product was manufactured, develop all the steps until the production of the product, and achieve the excellence of the original parts.

The production of seals for oil and water-lubricated propeller shafts requires precision in both the raw material and the seal manufacturing mold so that the specifications and quality are the same as the original product.

Versitec Marine was a project that required material research until ProCIM found the ideal supplier. Several tests were carried out on the mold and material design during manufacturing to finally certify the excellence of the products.

 Currently, Crug-Promar has acquired Versitec Marine, of which it was already a representative, and thereby expanded its market penetration.
