Research & Development

Kosine operates from a factory in the East Midlands, and specialises in the development of small plastic components. The facility is not a mass-production environment, but rather a means to bridge the gap between an idea and a working product.

The emphasis is very much on keeping costs down and finding simple ways to test out new ideas. This allows new inventions to be rapidly developed in-house and assessed for commercial viability.

Prototype tooling is accomplished with 4-axis CNC machinery, although designs are often simplified as much as possible to speed things up. On-site injection moulding facilities allow for quick test batches to be produced in a range of materials. Products that look promising can then be test-marketed, and ultimately brought into full-production.

Kosine's primary focus has so far been on internal projects (such as the rapstrap), but the company is often approached with third-party ideas for consideration. Several are currently being worked on, and these and other projects will be showcased on this website in the future.
