We are proud to be part of our clients' success stories. Here are a few examples of products that went through engineering development at Projects House and made it big in the market — through major retail chains, e-commerce, and crowdfunding. Each one started the same way every product does: as an idea that needed disciplined engineering to survive contact with the real world. That journey — and how to walk it — is what we map out in our guide to going from idea to product.
GRABO — Portable Vacuum Lifter
GRABO systems are flexible, reliable, and always innovative. GRABO tools are carefully engineered to support demanding lifting and moving tasks, and GRABO technology is all about making heavy lifting easier. The product line is sold at Lowe's and through e-commerce, with sales of over $5 million. Learn more at grabo.com.
mifold — Portable Child Booster Seat
mifold is the most compact booster seat in the world — it fits in a child's backpack, a glove compartment, or a parent's bag, making it perfect for carpools, travel, and everything in between. It is designed for children ages 4 and up, 18 to 45 kg and 100 to 150 cm tall. The product raised over $3.5 million in crowdfunding and has recorded sales of over $10 million through Walmart and e-commerce. Learn more at mifold.com. A launch like this shows what a strong campaign can do — a path we break down in our guide to startup fundraising.

What These Stories Have in Common
Four very different products — a construction tool, a child-safety seat, an underwater drill, and a toy — and one shared thread: each was engineered with production, cost, and the end user in mind from the first sketch. Getting a product onto the shelves of retailers like Walmart, Target, Lowe's, and Amazon takes more than a working prototype; it takes design for manufacturing, tooling, and a supply chain that holds up at volume — the full journey we describe in our overview of new product development. And reaching the market is a discipline of its own, covered in our guide to selling your invention.
