How we work
Every project follows the same path, with a named engineer from the first review to delivery.
-
Step 1: Send your project
Share drawings, BOM, 3D models, specifications and assembly instructions. If you prefer, we sign your NDA or send ours before you share anything.
What you receive: A confirmation and a named contact.
-
Step 2: Engineering review
Our engineers check every drawing, tolerance, material and finish. Open questions are raised before we quote, not after production has started.
What you receive: Questions and suggestions, where needed.
-
Step 3: Project proposal
A price for the complete scope, a schedule, the manufacturing plan and the list of documents you will receive with the delivery.
What you receive: One proposal for the whole project.
-
Step 4: Build and assemble
Parts are made by our audited partners and inspected on arrival. Assembly and testing take place in our group's 14,000 m² facility.
What you receive: Regular progress updates from your project engineer.
-
Step 5: Delivered complete
One shipment, packed for your line, with the full documentation package.
What you receive: The assembly and its documentation.
Included in every project
Our quotes are rarely the lowest. They include the engineering, supplier management, inspection and assembly that cheaper quotes leave to your team.
You pay once, and the assembly arrives ready to install.
