Manufacturing Expertise
Powering the Future
of Manufacturing
Through Smarter
Engineering
Design for Manufacturability Expertise
We work alongside your engineering teams to refine CAD models and specifications, ensuring every part is optimized for efficient production. By addressing complexity early, we reduce risks, lower costs, and accelerate your path from design to manufacturing.
Advancing Digital Manufacturing
We leverage digital tools and data-driven processes to optimize design, simulation, and production workflows, enabling smarter decisions and faster, more efficient manufacturing outcomes.
Integrated Automation Solutions
Our custom automation tools streamline workflows, eliminate manual errors, and improve production efficiency, giving teams more time to focus on innovation.
Why Goken?
Design & Engineering Support
We partner early in product development, reviewing CAD models and specifications to apply design-for-manufacturing principles. This reduces risks, optimizes processes and materials, and helps accelerate time-to-market.
Scalable & Agile Solutions
From prototypes to full production, we connect your project with the right capabilities, machining, casting, forming, and more. Our global network ensures flexibility, consistent quality, and reliable delivery at every stage.
cost transparency & negotiation
We build detailed should-cost models that break down material, labor, and tooling costs. These serve as benchmarks for procurement teams, enabling fair negotiations, cost visibility, and stronger supplier relationships.

Talent Management
At Goken, talent augmentation isn’t just filling a seat, it’s providing the right expertise at the right time to accelerate results. We match engineers and specialists to your tools, culture, and project goals so they can contribute from day one with minimal ramp-up.
Cost Engineering
Our core competence in cost engineering lies in Should Costing. "Should Cost" is the optimum cost a product "should" incur to a company considering the best available manufacturing & regional processes.
Product Development
At Goken, product development is more than delivering a process. It’s about creating lasting value through innovation, agility, and deep collaboration.

"Goken’s internal processes and pre-engagement activities have saved me months of man-hours."
Tier 1 Automotive Supplier
Design Manager
"We like Goken because their associates are good at solving problems. They are usually first call when the real head-scratchers show up."
Automotive OEM
Purchasing Manager
"I have worked with Goken through various automotive OEMs in the past and Goken's agility, quality, and ease to work with remain consistent throughout every experience. Their training program & engineering methods for new associates allows them to hit the ground running without burdening myself or my team. I am always at ease and confident in the results I will get when working with them."
Electric Vehicle OEM
Senior Director
"Goken has provided us Engineering Liaison support located in Japan at a Japanese automotive OEM we work with. Their global presence has allowed us to enhance our communication with the OEM to increase our design quality by capturing part feasibility issues ahead of design release and also decrease our need to travel overseas to provide support to our customer."
EG Industries
Director of Engineering
"Goken has supported us in Automotive Chassis development for a couple of Terrafugia's sub-systems in one of our upcoming vehicles. They developed the subsystems primarily from their Tech Center in Dublin, Ohio, and traveled to our facility in Massachusetts to coordinate prototype builds and assist in test setups as needed. Their automotive know-how allowed us to focus on the design of other vehicle systems and meeting FAA requirements, thereby increasing our efficiency to meet the aggressive vehicle development timeline."
Terrafugia
Engineering Manager - Chassis Systems
"Goken supported our North American development efforts by helping create engineering development tools which determined bolted joint torque settings and suspension tunable characteristics. Their flexible business models allowed us to make cost-effective, real-time decisions which in turn helped speed up our local development flow."
BYTON
Former Director of Chassis & Vehicle Dynamics
"Goken America has provided engineering support for several of our projects during design/development phase. Their unique in-house expertise & capabilities for several Asian OEMs has been of real value. Their individualized solutions for customer needs helps in navigating through the complexities and achieve best possible results."
Leggett & Platt
Applications Engineer Manager
"Goken provides a career, not an assignment. I have had an engineer finish my assignment and move to another job but stay with Goken. A few years later the same engineer came back to me with more experience. He remembered all of our methods and immediately fit in with the team."
