Representative Client Engagements

Examples of high-level advisory and delivery work led by SAB-Tech.

Global CNC Controller Commercialisation

A client had a strong CNC controller design but needed support with manufacturing, marketing, distribution and feature prioritisation. Steven led engineers, marketing professionals and supply chain specialists to refine the design, prototype and test the product, work with multiple factories and establish global manufacturing and distribution.
