BOLTGROUP

BOLTGROUP is a full-service design firm in Charlotte, North Carolina, founded in 1985 and built specifically for manufacturers. Designers, strategists, researchers, engineers and implementers work across product design, brand and business strategy, so one engagement can carry an idea from user research and industrial design to engineering, packaging and launch.

The firm cross-trains its people between product, brand and business design and frames sustainability as a design problem, worked on from materials and manufacturing through to end of life. Four decades of projects include the Kangaroo golf caddy, the Humminbird fish finder and the Monty Chair for IOA Healthcare; the stated goal is to turn brands, products and the experiences around them into higher-performing assets.
