Vertical Manufacturing

Ardent’s vertical manufacturing capacity allows us to offer one-stop shopping for our clients.

Because of our extensive in-house capacity, we are able to control cost, quality and speed-to-market.

We are not limited in the selection of materials, from corrugated cardboard to plastic to rare, but sustainable woods. In addition, we incorporate the latest technology, from touch-screen kiosks to customized, plug-and-play LED lighting.

We understand that among your greatest challenges are the time and effort required to manage multiple vendors. Ardent will streamline that process for you by managing the entire project in-house, from initial concept to final retail set-up.
