RICHMOND, Va., July 9, 2024 /CNW/ — The TriMech Group has acquired MAKO Design + Invent, which provides tailored, end-to-end product design and development services across all physical consumer product categories to clients in the United States and Canada.

The TriMech Group has acquired MAKO Design + Invent.

With this latest acquisition, the TriMech Group continues to deliver on its plan to expand and diversify its service offerings and build the best-in-class solution partner to the global advanced design, engineering, and manufacturing sectors.

Chip Hogge, Chief Strategy Officer for the TriMech Group, and President of TriMech’s Advanced Manufacturing business, said that adding MAKO’s expertise sets the stage for TriMech to offer enhanced, comprehensive product development support for clients of all sizes.

“Over its 20-year history, MAKO’s award-winning team has perfected their product development process, which creates high-caliber products to be sold in North American and international markets. Their expertise will form a solid foundation for a new product development line of business for the TriMech Group.”

Support throughout the product design and development lifecycle

MAKO’s unique platform supports inventors, designers, manufacturers and e-commerce brands through planning, strategy development, designing, prototyping, manufacturing, and scaling to production volume, all to efficiently transform a concept into a fully functional, market-ready product.

At the heart of this process is MAKO’s talented team of industrial designers and mechanical and electrical engineers. TriMech’s Project Engineering Group (PEG) provides additional design capabilities and capacity in the key engineering stages of the product development lifecycle. And TriMech’s global teams of advanced simulation specialists can support additional simulation and analysis needs clients have during those stages.

Hogge explained that the TriMech Group is focused on steadily expanding the depth of its expertise in critical service areas to meet evolving client needs.

“Clients in all industry verticals are seeking professional, reliable services and support. We stand out because we offer much more than software and hardware. We can serve as that single technology and business partner who can help clients accelerate their product development lifecycles while improving quality and reducing risk.”

Meeting needs in prototyping and manufacturing

The MAKO team’s experience across the product development lifecycle can also bring new manufacturing connections and projects to the TriMech Group, already well known for its 3D printer sales and services, as well as its expertise in other advanced manufacturing methods, from traditional to emerging.

“Collaboration across production stages will really benefit clients,” Hogge said. “Our Advanced Manufacturing Services business in North America and 3DPRINTUK in the UK are perfectly positioned to step in with the knowledge and capabilities to move client projects efficiently through prototyping and manufacturing.”

Opportunities for MAKO’s team and clients

MAKO’s founder, Kevin Mako, will remain in the business to provide leadership in the TriMech Group’s expanded product development services team.

“My team and I will continue to serve clients the way we always have – with personal, customized service that gets their product to the finish line quickly, efficiently and at a world-class standard,” he said. “At the same time, we are extremely excited to collaborate with one of our favorites in the industry – the TriMech Group. Tapping into their team of design-for-manufacturing experts, prototyping and manufacturing facilities, and advanced software will help us ensure the best solutions for our clients.”

In HelloNation, Personal Injury Attorney Brad Altman of Wichita Falls Explains Why Timing Matters and What Attorneys Can Do

Published

April 27, 2026

By

WICHITA FALLS, Texas, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Why is timing critical after an injury? An article in HelloNation highlights how quickly evidence can fade, weaken a claim, and impact the outcome of a case. Brad Altman, owner of Altman Legal Group, underscores that immediate action is essential because skid marks fade, property gets repaired, and security footage may be erased, while witnesses’ memories become less reliable over time.

The article explains that insurance companies often move quickly to gather evidence and protect their interests. Without early steps on the injured party’s side, important details may be lost. Attorneys step in to preserve evidence by securing accident reports, medical records, photographs, video footage, and witness statements while they remain accessible. This early action builds a stronger case from the beginning.

Altman also points out that an attorney’s role extends far beyond filing paperwork. They analyze facts, identify gaps, and create a clear timeline that supports the client’s account. They also manage communication with insurance adjusters, ensuring that no statements are misinterpreted or used to reduce compensation. Acting early allows attorneys to control the narrative and prevent evidence from slipping away.

The difference between a strong and weak claim often comes down to timing. By involving an attorney early, injured individuals gain the benefit of preserved evidence and strategic preparation that supports their rights.

Why Timing Matters & What Attorneys Can Do features insights from Brad Altman, Personal Injury Attorney of Wichita Falls, Texas, in HelloNation.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, April 27, 2026 /CNW/ — Nakheel, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate, has awarded contracts worth over AED 3.5 billion to Ginco General Contracting L.L.C and United Engineering Construction (UNEC) for the construction of 544 villas on Palm Jebel Ali, marking a major milestone in the delivery of one of Dubai‘s most significant waterfront developments.

Under the awarded contracts, Ginco will construct 354 villas across Fronds A to D, while UNEC will deliver 190 villas across Fronds E and F. Construction is scheduled to commence this quarter, with completion targeted for Q4 2028.

Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate, said: “The awarding of these contracts signals tangible progress in the delivery of Palm Jebel Ali, with construction now progressing across multiple fronds. As momentum continues to build, Palm Jebel Ali represents one of the most significant expansions of Dubai‘s urban coastline in a generation and will play a key role in supporting the emirate’s long-term growth, further strengthening its global appeal as a great place to live, invest and visit.”

Spanning seven islands across 13.4 kilometres, with 16 fronds and more than 90 kilometres of beachfront, Palm Jebel Ali is being developed as a world-class waterfront destination and a major contributor to Dubai‘s future urban expansion.

The latest contract awards represent continued progress against the Palm Jebel Ali masterplan and support the objectives of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and Dubai Economic Agenda D33, reinforcing the emirate’s long-term vision for sustainable, high-quality communities.

The awards follow the unveiling of Palm Jebel Ali’s Beach and Coral Collection villas, developed in collaboration with leading international architects. The destination will also include Palm Central Private Residences, offering a connected expression of island living that brings together architecture, community and resort-style comfort.

Further enhancing the island’s community infrastructure, Palm Jebel Ali will feature a 9,000 sqm retail centre and a Friday Mosque designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Designed to accommodate up to 1,000 worshippers, the mosque will serve residents and visitors across the destination.
