James Kierath - General Manager Hoselink
"I have been using Bortz Product Design for over 10 years now. Gary has designed and helped improve over 30 products for us over the years. His input and design has been invaluable to our business. I would highly recommend Bortz Product Design." Michael Pawson - Managing Director ReCoila Hose & Cord Reels "Having a close relationship with our Sydney based industrial design house, Bortz Product Design, frees us up to focus on the sales and manufacturing processes for our hose reels, and hence compresses our development and production time. With the aid of 3D CAD, being able to see our reels fitting together accurately provides reassurance we are on the right track in new product development. We are the Australian specialists in custom made hose reels and therefore we often require new designs entailing very specific customer requirements. The fast turnaround from Gary and his deep understanding of our product allows us to manufacture completely custom made reels to tight deadlines, resulting in a solid, durable, beautifully designed product – and satisfied customers." Lachlan Symons - Sales Manager Trendpac We have worked with Bortz Product Design for over 8 years and they have always delivered excellent results, on time and within budget bringing creative, sustainable ideas to the table. This year we won the PIDA Australian Packaging Innovation and Design Gold Award for sustainable packaging with a project that BPD help us develop. It has always been a pleasure working with BPD and we look forward to our future endeavors with BPD as part of our team. Adam Lindsay - KOH ekoWorxs "Gary Bortz is a consumate professional who delivered his work on time and on budget. He brought to the project fantastic insights which we would never have considered ourselves which ensured success. Would highly recommend Gary to anyone looking for packaging design services." Kim Ryrie - Deqx "I've worked with several great designers over 30 years and Gary is one of the best. He was highly recommend by an associate and we've done about half a dozen designs since then. All have been stress free, on time and cost effective. An added bonus for us was Gary's ability to refer us to a new high quality yet 'best price' fabricator when our normal supplier couldn't meet an urgent deadline... Five stars, thank you Gary!" Charles Berelowitz - Chairman Nu-Lite Illuminated Signs Pty Ltd "In your field of industrial design - you are 'simply the best'." Richard Farr - Director Prompt-it "Excellent service, speedy and reliable. We had no idea how the design process works and Bortz Product Design explained everything carefully and we felt safe. They were the only company we approached who managed to figure out how to have our design as a single part. I was very impressed with your "out of the box" thinking. We look forward to our next industrial design project with you. 10 out of 10, thanks."

Selwyn Novos - Steric I have worked with Gary for many years and found him to be efficient and easy to work with in getting new design bottles done that deliver for my customers.

Craig Watson - Engineering Manager Trendpac "I have been using Bortz Product Design for a number of years to do our product development from concept all the way through to final 3D data that is sent to our toolmaker. I have always found Gary to be a true professional. He has the ability to make the transition of a hand drawn concept to the finished design a smooth and trouble free journey. We have had a number of projects that have been time sensitive and Gary has always exceeded expectation. I have no hesitation in recommending Bortz Product Design to any future clients." |
