LA NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TEAM

WE TURN IDEAS INTO PRODUCTS!

LA NPDT IS A PRODUCT DESIGN, PROTOTYPING, AND MARKETING COMPANY.

Turning product ideas into reality and bringing them to the market is what we love and do every day. It’s an incredible feeling to take a non-material concept, develop it into a tangible product, and then see it improving people’s lives. Whether it’s realizing our own or our customers’ invention ideas, we’re always driven by our passion in entrepreneurship and product development. We work to help our customers turn their ideas into a reality and start or grow their business.

LA New Product Development Team, About Us

OUR MISSION

To develop ideas into
marketable products.

As a full-service product development firm we turn ideas into physical products that bring real solutions to people’s daily challenges or simply make their lives better. At the same time, we keep the business side of the process in mind. Our customers need to make money building or growing their businesses around their new products.

Thanks to the diverse backgrounds and expertise of our team members, we are able to look at problems and solutions from different perspectives. Conducting thorough research before the design stage allows us to provide more thought-out solutions to our customers and develop better products faster.

LA New Product Development Team, About Us

Every day we realize product ideas and turn them into business ventures. Seeing an idea in a draft, then a prototype, and finally a product reaching its end-users is very fulfilling and encourages us to go forward. Also, we believe in entrepreneurship and the American Dream. In fact, turning ideas into reality allows us to realize our dream – a company that can make a difference in the marketplace through product innovation.

LA New Product Development Team, About Us

HOW WE
STARTED

Idea to reality.

LA NPDT began its journey in 2014 when Konstantin Dolgan and Onega Ulanova formed a student organization at Louisiana Tech University. Both Konstantin and Onega moved to the United States from Kazakhstan. They came with a dream of getting their graduate degrees in Engineering. The school allowed them to meet passionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated people who wanted to make an impact. By leveraging their education in engineering and experience in business and management, the couple started a student organization named LA New Product Development Team. Two years later the organization evolved into a product development company. The first office opened its doors in Shreveport, Louisiana on the 26th of September, 2016. Since then the team has been turning product ideas into reality on a daily basis.

METHODOLOGY

Effective listening & communication
= better products faster.

Over the years, we’ve learned how to translate requests and wants into feasible product designs. We combine clear understanding of our customers’ wants and needs with the expertise and technical know-how of our team. This results in great solutions and met or exceeds expectations of our customers. Our new product development process successfully worked for a variety of businesses and industries. The types of products we developed range from clothing and toys to wearable electronic gadgets and heavy machinery. Check out our works in portfolio.

Since the inception of our team, we’ve turned hundreds of product ideas into reality. We tackle projects by splitting them into “bite-sized” stages. This allows everyone to stay focused and keep the process of developing a new product on track and under control. As a basis for our methodology we use SCRUM. It enables us to achieve high productivity. Specifically, it helps to focus on what matters most and to track our progress with metrics.
