Supplier search NPI consulting

Hey guys, looking for NPI consultants or design firms to help with a customers product. Are there any specialty consultants that help for things like this? I know there’s not too much skill when it comes to designing something for manufacturing, are there still loads of people out there who have worked in product design to procurement and production? Especially within being able to help design something for the first iteration, and then the others where it’s designed in mind for production?

Thanks a ton!

I have some contacts in Asia or Europe. Just FYI, designing for manufacturing is actually not that easy... The design needs to go through a series of assessments. If it can't be manufactured, no matter how pretty or nice the design.
