Engineering Custom Solutions

Advanced engineering is a key competitive advantage with Duke. Our Lean New Product Development (LNPD) and Agile processes have increased speed to market, minimized costs and exceeded our customers’ expectations. Our strong base of core engineering competencies span fabrication, hot side technology, cold side technology, digital integration, connectivity and automation. Our in-house accredited UL test facility enables us to increase speed to market. Our NPD model shop allows us to rapidly prototype and iterate design concepts.
