"Everyone’s involved with everything … that’s how we work as a company… Our owner [Fenton], he was just… you guys are gonna see it through I’m confident you’ll get there. Keep going. Keep going.
We were just well supported. And that’s just part of the culture. He’s a design engineer himself and he loves the tinkering and being involved and just … we’re gonna make something great and novel. He has the confidence to see things through."
–Matt Lazenby, Product Development Manager, Adept & Adept Medical

Inherent to the Adept culture and its ongoing success, is a healthy balance of design ability, iterative speed, and technical prowess in final production.

As experts in bringing products from concept to life and pioneers in the intricate arts of manufacturing, we are excited to share with you a glimpse of the Adept story from our very own Product Development Manager at Adept and Adept Medical, Matt Lazenby.
