"Seventy-five percent of the nation's growth in sales volume can be expected to come from new products, including new brands." That statement was contained in a survey completed over twenty years ago; however, it is no less accurate today. Technology is leading an incredible new product development search and companies continue to place major resources into new products. Harshaw Research has historically provided cutting edge opportunities in the area of new product development. Examples ranging from TOYS to TECHNOLOGY^SM exemplify the broad range of experience and professional know-how in managing our clients' projects from concept to reality. The simplicity of Saceasi^® provided a challenging opportunity to the Harshaw Research staff in defining areas of uniqueness and superiority. Saceasi^® is a unique new sports toy which has been designed, engineered, patented, and licensed internationally by the experienced staff of Harshaw Research.

The Trinity^TM project exemplifies the antithesis of Saceasi^® in the area of technical development. Trinity^TM is a multi-sensor fire detection system combining smoke detection, heat detection, and carbon monoxide detection within a single unit and is completely software driven. Like Saceasi^®, the Trinity^TM project underwent concept design, patent protection, and international licensing utilizing the Synergistic New Product Development process developed by Harshaw Research.

We understand that consumer needs motivate buying behavior. These needs, properly identified, indicate opportunities for product development and lead to successful new product introduction. The specific technology required to develop new products must flow from these consumer needs and be directed properly to fulfill those needs as they are identified and expressed.
