The Denso Wave Difference

Delivering Uncommon Value throughout the Product Lifecycle
DENSO-WAVE provides ODM/OEM capabilities to your development team that go far beyond a typical contract manufacturer relationship. We are dedicated to creating long-term relationships with our customers as evidenced by some of our partner relationships extending over 30 years in a number of different industries.

Our business model is based on delivering completed products and systems to you to meet your critical deadlines.

This proven process technique enhances communication, minimizes innovation cycle times, and enables both DENSO WAVE and our customers to manage process timelines and costs effectively. By drawing upon a wide range of advanced technologies developed around the world, DENSO WAVE positions you to uncover new ideas that expand your business quickly and dynamically.

With decades of product development experience behind us, we have the know-how to turn our customers’ ideas into reliable, high quality products quickly and cost-effectively. Our electrical, electronics and mechanical design engineers will bring thousands of man-hours of technological expertise and project management insights to your product development project.

DENSO WAVE understands that clear, consistent customer communication is essential to a successful product development project, so we conduct frequent in-person meetings, video conferences and electronic file transfers throughout the development cycle. That ensures you’ll always stay in the loop on project status.
