Founded in January 2019 in Eugene, Oregon, Antdesign set out to build innovative EDC gear for people who want to do more while carrying less. Titanium soon became our signature material, and it still threads through almost everything we make today.

In 2020, we fully funded COMMA, our first product, on Kickstarter—a titanium fidget spinner that put us on the map. That early success gave us the confidence to go further, and we began looking for a manufacturing model that matched our small-team, high-precision philosophy. That search led us to Valencia, Spain.

Why Spain?

Valencia sits at the crossroads of aerospace-grade machining talent and Europe's titanium supply chain. That means tighter control over material specs, shorter transit times, and faster delivery—duty-paid—to both U.S. and EU customers.

The region's satellite-and-aerospace ecosystem gives us access to machinists who treat an EDC tool like a flight-critical part. That precision is baked into everything we ship.

What's next?

Since June 2025, our dedicated Valencia factory has let us mill aerospace-grade titanium, assemble, and ship—all under one roof. Different time zones, same obsession with detail.

None of this would have happened without our Kickstarter backers and early customers. Thank you for turning a garage project into a global EDC brand.

We're a small, detail-obsessed team that brings every Antdesign piece to life through close partnerships with master craftsmen around the globe. Our titanium bodies are milled in our Valencia, Spain factory, while specialty components come from trusted suppliers in Japan, Germany, and the United States. Every product is a truly international effort built on win-win relationships—many of our partners have been with us for years and are now friends as well as collaborators.
