History

About / History

Industrial Design Consultancy was established in 1972 and its history has included many landmark projects over the years. From early automotive projects through telephones, personal and mainframe computers, domestic appliances and mobile phones, IDC has developed a skill for understanding people, business and technology to create compelling and meaningful product experiences for users and commercial success for our clients.

IDC has grown from a small design studio into one of the longest established product design studios and our services have grown from industrial design alone to the turn key product development service we offer today.

Recent years have seen IDC invest heavily in the latest technology from 3D CAD to CNC machining to offer our clients access to technology and rapid prototyping tools that are only available at a handful of organisations in the UK.

As well as its UK base, IDC has an office in Hong Kong, which opened in 2008.
