LineWise is a branch of Diversified Product Development.
Diversified is a US-based, highly respected, growing and profitable design and manufacturing firm. The company has over 40 employees, including 15 engineers and designers, 15 manufacturing personnel, and a 60,000 square foot facility in Central Texas – where they not only design solutions for their customers, but also manufacture high-quality prototypes and limited production runs of their creative designs.
Some of Diversified’s customers are well known multi-billion-dollar equipment manufacturers in the construction, mining, agricultural, and aerial lift industries, as well as key players in the oil and gas industry. We also do some special defense-related design projects for the US military.
Diversified’s highly skilled engineering team often acts as an extension of their customers’ existing internal engineering team and is frequently called upon to tackle complicated design challenges that require very creative solutions. Since 1996, Diversified has successfully applied their experience in mechanisms, structures, hydraulics, and control systems – to complete an amazingly “diverse” collection of design projects (some patented).
