About us
Small by choice,
expert by design.
Somel is an R&D engineering company from Vipava, Slovenia — an extension of your own development, whenever you need it.
Our name
SOftware · MEchanical · ELectrical
Three disciplines under one roof — and one name. No coordination overhead between separate suppliers: one team carries your project from idea to prototype.
SOMEL — software, mechanical, electrical
Mission
Fast, honest access to complete multidisciplinary R&D — requirements turned into a working, validated prototype, with the IP and the value left in your hands.
Vision
Prove that a deliberately small team, run with radical transparency, can out-deliver large outsourcing firms — under ~50 people by choice, not by limitation.
