If client only has a concept or requirement (ODM), can FORSA assist with design and development? What is the process and timeline?

Absolutely. FORSA has a dedicated team capable of supporting full product development from concept to final product. Our development process includes:

  • Concept Consultation & Requirement Analysis:
    We collaborate closely with the client to understand the core concept, target market, intended functions, performance requirements, and budget.

  • Product Planning & Design Proposals:
    Our engineering team conducts feasibility studies and presents preliminary design concepts—including appearance, mechanical structure, and internal mechanisms.

  • Prototype Development & Testing:
    Functional prototypes are built to validate design effectiveness and reliability.

  • Design Optimization & Final Approval:
    Based on test results and client feedback, the design is refined until final approval is achieved.

  • Tooling & Production Preparation:
    Molds and production tools are developed, and production lines are readied.

  • Mass Production & Quality Control:
    Production begins with stringent quality assurance procedures in place.

  • Delivery & After-Sales Support:
    Products are shipped as scheduled, with technical support available post-delivery.

Development Timeline:
Depending on project complexity, technical requirements, and client feedback, the development cycle typically ranges from 3 to 6 months. Projects involving advanced technology or specialized testing may require additional time. A detailed timeline will be provided after project evaluation.

What extent can the product be customized?

We offer highly flexible customization options to ensure optimal performance and alignment with your application and brand identity. Customization may include:

  • Mounting & Dimensions:
    Tailored installation dimensions, hole diameters, and mounting configurations based on vehicle suspension design.

  • Spring Rate (K Value):
    Selection or customization of spring stiffness to meet load capacity and ride comfort expectations.

  • Damping Force:
    Precise adjustment of compression and rebound damping to suit specific driving styles and vehicle dynamics.

  • Stroke Length:
    Adjustments to the effective operating range of the shock absorber per vehicle design.

  • Valve Tuning:
    Customized internal valve settings to optimize response speed and comfort for specific road conditions or loads.

  • Appearance (Color/Coating):
    Multiple surface finishes and color options to match branding or vehicle aesthetics.

  • Branding & Logo Application:
    Laser engraving, printing, or embossing of customer logos to enhance brand identity.

What are the main materials and component sources used?
