Strona are a domestic-market Chinese manufacturer who came to Indemic to design their own range of Square-Bar roof racks to compete with the larger European and American brands. Indemic provided a full service from early stage concept, mechanical testing and validation, engineering and development right through to fully manufactured solution. We heavily utilised 3D metal printing in the validation of the mechanical elements of this design, which proved to be and incredibly efficient and effective means of validation. The result is a super-clean, functional design which we believe would be at home atop many of the worlds best automotive brands.
