What drives us?

Where did Hallsten Innovations start?
Founded in 2012 by Jon Hallsten after leaving a higher paying Senior R&D role, Hallsten Innovations was initially conceived to be the creative outlet. Through a series of rapid successes, Hallsten Innovations quickly expanded to a larger team of like-minded individuals who love making the world a better place by refusing to accept the status quo. With the opening of the Chicago Office in 2017 and the UK office in 2019, Hallsten Innovations continues to expand and offer complete solutions from napkin realization to manufacturing guidance, and all design work in between!

The principals of Hallsten Innovations have been entrusted to make thousands of successful mission critical decisions regarding design, manufacturing and outsourcing over a variety of applications and industries. We understand the pathway to a winning product solution, and how a well-conceived strategy delivers results and ensures success.
