Bottlieb Innovations
Company Summary
George S. Bottlieb founded Bottlieb Innovations, Inc. The Escondido, California-based company has developed, and is preparing to manufacture, a simple device which will compute the area of a walked perimeter. Bottlieb’s patented Digital Geographer product accurately computes area in a fraction of the time required by current area measurement techniques which rely on distance measuring wheel technology.
Development of Bottlieb’s Digital Geographer product is complete, and the manufacturing component of the business is well into the planning stages. Because the Digital Geographer contains few components, its manufacturing process is expected to be relatively simple.
The majority of Bottlieb’s initial sales will be directly to customers in California’s fast-growing construction industry, but the company plans to swiftly expand its domestic and worldwide sales.
