What do we do?
Kaon Consulting is a team of highly qualified engineers with a wealth of experience in mechanical, electrical and electronic design. We understand what it takes to transform an idea into a real product, in production, in a real factory.
Kaon Consulting is the team to turn to when you need product development, cost reduction or better productivity from your operations.
We know:
- How to design, test and prove products
- How to engineer products so that they can be manufactured reliably and economically
- How to set up a production line or warehouse to operate at maximum profitability
- How to design-in quality and back it up with inspection and test systems
- How to train and engage staff so that production is consistent and efficient
- What has to be done in the back-end business systems so that materials arrive on-time and your warehouse runs smoothly

Client Testimonials
"The green mini substation sets a new standard in environmentally friendly electricity distribution. The ingenuity of Kaon Consulting’s work was an important factor in making it happen”
“Kaon Consulting has shown us how to view our system as an asset rather than a liability. We are now achieving more with less effort”
“Kaon was engaged to develop a staff incentive scheme that focused on reducing job write-offs. But they showed us that write-offs were, in fact, only a small part of the lost earnings within our business.
They developed a scheme that addressed overall performance and linked it to a reward structure that was a real win for staff.
Their pragmatic approach and attention to cultural issues has produced a scheme we are very happy with”
