Get to know a little about the founder and how Product Refinery came to be.
From the Beginning
Small Steps Forward
After finding success with his new flagship product, Lucas founded a team of creatives to create Launch Labs, a firm dedicated to bringing products to market in the same way that he was able to bring Juiceboxx to market. While there, he and his team worked to launch new products, but what was once hundreds of different touch points per product scaled to thousands and the team eventually dissolved after failing to meet the demands of the present market.
Digital Adaptation and Scaling
The Birth of Neumodern Creations
Success Means Growth
As the founder of Neumodern Creations, Lucas hustled and won client contracts with product inventors from various industries. Grypmat, one of Lucas' first clients, partnered with Lucas to build a global brand for mechanics that found financial success via Kickstarter with over 125k in presales, which eventually made it to Shark Tank, and is one of the biggest brands in the world for Tool Mats and kits. Additionally, Lucas took it upon himself to provide coaching and support to entrepreneurs where he shared his experiences working within the Product Development industry and connects individuals to relevant partners to allow them to build sustainable product based businesses.
Building a Team to Define Product Refinery
Actively connected in Ohio through various roles and participation in community events, Lucas wanted to evolve his business into an organization that provided all of the services he was already providing creators under one roof. The impetus for finally building the team and beginning Product Refinery happened in 2019 in Koh Samui, Thailand. There, he met with Alex, and the two, excited by the idea of building a Concept-to-Consumer coterie, set off to expand and grow the refinery.
Make to Market
Clients as Partners
With a few projects underway, Lucas and Alex began to provide support for Lady Liberty Drinking, inventors of the Kong Beer Bong. Originally starting as client to relaunch an unfunded campaign they had previously fallen short of the goal, Kong Beer Bong, with the support and guidance of Product Refinery, scaled their small business into a multi-million dollar operation within a single year.
Experience in Design
As a seasoned Industrial Designers, Nathan & Jeremy have worked on projects of all kinds. From personal projects focused on sustainable systems, to massive corporate product lines, they have the experience and understanding of what it takes to produce a premium product in any industry. Their partnership with Product Refinery allows our team to provide a world class design treatment to every idea that comes through our door, while keeping our client's budgets in mind.
Untangling International Logistics
Having spent five years traveling around Asia to acquire partners and build a supply chain network for clients, Lucas met Nicolas Tseng. Now Nicolas is Product Refinery's Overseas logistics manager and is an integral part of the Product Refinery ecosystem. With over a decade of supply chain management and manufacturing logistics experience Nicolas is on the ground with our manufacturing partners overseas to guarantee that the highest quality products are produced and that their integrity is maintained from the manufacturer all the way to our client's customer's hands.
