Letter from the CEO

No other time in modern history is new technology and Innovation as critical as it is today in 2010. Innovation and Entrepreneurship will pull our country out of the trenches and propel us into the future. American Innovation is alive and must excel!

My vision from day one beginning in the late 1990’s was to partner with and assist various companies with developing innovative products in their emerging markets. Now, more than a decade later, R2FACT and our global network is primed perfectly to do just that. New trends within Agriculture, Biosciences, Consumer, Energy, Medical, Mobility and Security provide a fertile environment to innovate new technology and the resulting new products of the future.

Small business owners in America during the past 60+ years have had a superb reputation globally as being driven and highly innovative. Our persistence and hard work have allowed us to specialize and grow a magnitude of global industries. To continue moving forward in these modern times, businesses must be lean, versatile and highly focused. We must rely on small business partnerships to form the whole. Furthermore, our intellectual property must be protected and must play a key role in the innovation process. Affordable labor and material resources will continue to move from one global site to another, but our design, problem solving and ingenuity must remain here at home.

To move forward more quickly, we really must again become a producing nation. It is not realistic for all industries to manufacture and produce solely in the United States. It is, however, faster and more efficient to design and engineer in the US rather than outsource these services. We know our markets and the consumers better than any other nation does. If we lose the ability to design and develop at home, our ability to solve problems and create new technologies and new markets will diminish. The decade of the 2010’s will be the decade our grandchildren will look back on as the one that saved our country and our businesses from collapse. It will be a great decade for American Innovation!

Kind regards,

Stephen M. Pope

We serve all of our customers with a collaborative intense urgency and our efforts are focused on innovation in their markets. We develop, supply and support our customers so their IDEAS become tomorrow’s Artifacts. With five distinctly different divisions; Product, Manufacture, Import, Graphics & Multimedia, we are your team of researchers, industrial designers, engineers, CAD professionals, prototypers, manufacturers, graphic designers, web programmers & video animators.

Artifact: ( är’ te fakt’) “An object created for practical purposes produced by human workmanship with a perceived value”;
a cherished relic.

The year 2001 was one of our most challenging times in recent American history. We were attacked on US soil, the stock market crashed, both the Telecom and Internet bubbles burst. Enormous layoffs with a multitude of firms began to occur as they do still these past nine years. Unemployment began to rise further, health care costs were increasing at unprecedented rates and still are, among many other signs that times were getting very difficult for small businesses.

We recognized these signs and formed a network of professionals and experts in the field of product development to serve our U.S. small businesses. We realized very quickly that we could save small businesses a great deal of time, money and resources by hiring us temporarily on a per project basis. This alleviates the risk of bringing staff members on full-time when times are tight and growth is in question.

During these rapidly fast changing times, small businesses must reinvent themselves and must always innovate new products and services to remain ahead of their competition. R2FACT is your Innovation partner, which allows you to remain focused on your business and marketing and building your sales and distribution.
