Titoma

Titoma is an electronic design and manufacturing firm founded in 2001 by Case Engelen, who moved to Taiwan in 1994 to develop electronics across Greater China. The company focuses on Portable Design for Manufacturing, a methodology that involves suppliers from day one to avoid redesigns and speed time to market. With high tariffs, rising labor costs, and geopolitical uncertainty, Titoma designs products that can be assembled wherever it makes the most business sense.

The company employs 50 to 99 people and has offices in Taipei, Taiwan (headquarters), Reno, Nevada, and Manizales, Colombia. In-house engineers in Taiwan and Colombia handle electronics, firmware, mechanical design, and prototyping. The typical project minimum budget is $50,000 and up, with an average hourly rate of $50. Titoma has been operating since 2001.

Titoma offers services in logistics and product design. The design process begins with architecture in Colombia, bill-of-materials optimization in Taiwan and with trusted factory partners in Shenzhen, prototyping in Colombia, and injection molding in China. Once the design is mature, full kits are shipped to Colombia for final assembly, testing, and packaging. Clients retain all IP, firmware, and molds.

The company serves industries including consumer goods, electronics, manufacturing, and hardware and networking. Client types range from small businesses to medium businesses and enterprise or corporate clients. Notable clients include ABB, Heineken, Padi, Semnox, Schick, IBM, Giesecke+Devrient, Logitech, and Dymax.
