Strategic Partners

On one hand you have big, monolithic design firms, and on the other you've got the one-man contractor. Slipstream comes in somewhere in the middle. We've stayed small to offer our customers flexibility, speed, and quite frankly, good bang for their bucks. It also lets our designers focus on what is most important - the creative spirit and a monk-like dedication to a client's pet project.

Slipstream's top-notch Strategic Partners allow us to offer a full suite of design and engineering services, including Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering.
