What clients say about the Center

  • "The Swanson Center has allowed us to shorten our product development cycle, allowing us to be more competitive within our industry. The center has also given us the opportunity to show our customer an actual prototype, not just a drawing of a product, enabling the customer to make better decisions, saving time and money."

    David Rifenburgh
    Vice President, Special Operations
    St. George Crystal


  • "The level of aptitude and energy provided by the Swanson Center personnel enabled Matthews to develop a new product in 12 months that would have taken us several years on our own."

    Brian Dunn
    President, Market Products Division
    Matthews International


  • "At the Swanson Center, there are a variety of resources to complement in-house capability. The resulting collaboration has reduced time-to-market, increased product optimization, and ultimately increased customer satisfaction."
