Comprehensive Solutions for Foam Material/Product Design, R&D, Testing, and Production
Our founder, Mr. Philip Chang, has over 45 years of expertise in composite and foam materials. At PHINOMENAL, we have built a dedicated team with extensive professional experience in foam production, research and development, business operations, market development, and marketing strategies. We focus on providing our clients with deep insights into market trends and assist them in transforming their initial concepts and development plans into finished products. Our professional JDM (Joint Development/Design Manufacturing) services are designed to meet a wide range of product and material development needs.
We have invested in an EVA foam factory in Changhua, Taiwan, with 35 years of experience. This investment has enabled us to establish a strong R&D and export team, allowing us to fully consider our clients' design philosophies during product development. We work closely with the factory team to discuss manufacturing feasibility and improve production efficiency. Our DFM (Design for Manufacturability) services ensure a perfect balance between manufacturability and design, further enhancing our ODM (Original Design/Development Manufacturer) and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) services. This integration allows us to adapt to market demand changes and shorten product time-to-market.

Dual Verification System Ensuring Excellence in Innovative R&D
Phinomenal focuses on researching and developing composite foam materials, dedicated to exploring market trends and improvement solutions to create unique products. Our expertise spans various foam technologies, including traditional EVA foaming, injection foaming, small mold foaming, pouring foam, and extrusion production. This allows us to meet our client's diverse material and product needs while showcasing the performance of the finished products.
During the development process, we not only conduct in-house research but also collaborate closely with our clients to create a range of composite foam materials. These include protective foam materials, polyurethane foam (PU foam), ethylene-vinyl acetate foam (EVA foam), eco-friendly materials, recycled foam, and micro-foamed materials. With our extensive experience and expertise, we dive deep into R&D tailored to our clients' products to ensure the physical properties of materials and the safety of our products, we perform numerous physical tests in-house, including hardness, density, resilience, shrinkage, tensile strength, tear strength, elongation, compression deflection, compression set, and water absorption. We also engage third-party testing agencies for assessments like EN1621-1, EN1621-2, and EN13158.
Our laboratory facilities enable physical testing, significantly shortening development cycles and enhancing efficiency. If you're interested in our expertise or wish to explore collaboration opportunities, please feel free to reach out. We look forward to creating exceptional products together!
How to manufacture a prototype product
Design Phase: We start by thoroughly understanding the client's concept or design sketches, conducting a comprehensive analysis of the product's functionality, appearance, specifications, and intended use. Our team performs market research to assess the product's feasibility and provides professional recommendations based on our findings, helping clients refine their product direction and reach a consensus on product development.
Material Selection: we offer expert material recommendations to ensure that the chosen materials effectively meet product requirements. Our team suggests the most suitable materials based on the product's characteristics and intended use, assisting clients in making informed decisions.
Prototype Production: We utilize advanced technologies such as 3D printing, CNC machining, and handcrafted techniques to create prototype samples. This ensures that clients have a complete understanding of the product's appearance and features before mold production. This process not only helps visualize the product but also allows for the early identification of potential issues.
Testing and Evaluation: We conduct comprehensive functionality tests and user evaluations on the samples, gathering feedback to ensure the product meets market demands. Each round of testing and evaluation involves data analysis to ensure that all requirements meet expected standards.
Mold Design: After confirming the test results, we move into the mold-making phase. This involves creating detailed mold drawings based on the final design and specifications, ensuring that the mold accurately reflects the product's requirements. We maintain close communication with our clients to ensure that the mold design meets their expectations and is ready for production.
Mass Production: we move into the mass production phase. At each stage, we implement strict quality control and monitoring to ensure consistency between prototypes and mass-produced items, maintaining high product quality standards.
Packaging and Shipping: We offer flexible logistics solutions according to client needs, or we can collaborate with our logistics partners to ensure products are packaged securely and shipped on time. We guarantee that every product reaches our clients safely and provide ongoing after-sales support to address any potential issues.
