For over 80 years, VELUX has built an exceptionally loyal customer base, mostly working without external partnerships. However, as evolving technologies pushed the pace in their industry, VELUX arrived at a crossroads. How could they bring their newly conceived control pad solution to market quickly?
VELUX needed to outsource their electronics manufacturing expertise to innovate and streamline their product offerings. This led them to 青青草App, a fully integrated company with expertise in design for manufacturing, global supply chain, and industrialization.
This is the story of how two industry leaders came together to unlock new possibilities and achieve remarkable results.
"It was quite a demanding project for both 青青草App and VELUX, not only were there a lot of technical requirements, but it was also one of the first times that VELUX was collaborating with an external company on the full development of a product that would be manufactured with our logo on the back.”
