Creating the impossible
Ingeniuer is an investment group making acquisitions in the product design and manufacturing sectors. While each subsidiary will largely run independently, they will also operate as the spokes of a creative hub serving a team of world-class innovators.
We are currently making acquisitions in Southern California and will be subsequently expanding to the greater southwest. Thank you for your interest in our group; we look forward to the years ahead and welcome the opportunity to speak with you regarding future collaboration.
Respectfully,
Jonathan Sywulka - Investment Manager, Ingenieur
Strategy
We are acquiring businesses in this industry because we know product manufacturing is pandemic/recession resistant and through the addition of a central design team, each business will compliment the other synergistically - making "the whole greater than the sum of its parts."
In addition to offering design services, prototyping, and low-volume manufacturing to entrepreneurs, we will build a branded line of appliances known for ingenuity, elegance, and quality of build. Through a unique collaboration of experienced manufacturers, fabricators, design engineers, and artists, we aim to reimagine every day fixtures and appliances with the end goal of creating a microapartment complex utilizing our designed systems and prefabricated apartment units.
Design Philosophy
While other design firms may focus on trends or creating an internet of things, our focus will always remain true to timeless design prioritizing the human experience. We believe the world doesn't need products that are "smart" as much as it needs products that are wise. In our branded line of everyday appliances and in our consultations, we look to inspire elegance - the quality of being pleasingly ingenious and simple. While perfection is impossible, we aspire to it anyways.
