The SYNTRIQ studio floor with production benches and machinery

Capabilities & processes

Inside the studio

Our studio equipment supports prototyping, decoration and short-run production, complemented by selected specialist capabilities where the project requires them.

Our kit

The machines on our floor

Each process is chosen for the object in front of us. If a job needs a process we do not run in-house, we say so and route it through a specialist partner we know.
