Our roots

From Gainstrong to GMIC.

GMIC is the AI hardware division of Gainstrong, a manufacturing company founded in 2009 and known for delivering high-volume consumer devices, IoT products, voice electronics, and communication hardware to global brands.

For more than a decade, Gainstrong built a reputation for engineering reliability, efficient production, and scaling hardware from prototype to millions of units. This foundation is what enables GMIC to move fast today — bringing AI companies from concept to production-ready device faster than any traditional ODM.

What we build

Six core capabilities. One integrated team.

As AI adoption accelerated, AI companies could build software quickly, but struggled to build hardware just as fast. GMIC was built to close that gap.

Wearable Hardware Development

Clip-on units, badges, pendants, and portable voice-enabled devices — from industrial design to production.

Voice-Enabled Device Manufacturing

End-to-end development with microphones, speakers, DSP pipelines, and real-time audio capabilities.

Smart Office & Desk Hardware

Conference devices, desktop assistants, and business-focused communication hardware.

AIoT and Voice Modules

Custom Wi-Fi/BLE audio modules and microphone boards for AI teams integrating voice into products.

Rapid Prototyping & Engineering

Fast industrial design, electronics, firmware, and acoustics — concept to prototype in weeks.

Mass Production & Quality Systems

SMT, assembly, testing, and scalable manufacturing backed by Gainstrong's established production lines.

Leadership

The people behind the vision.
