«Precise, reliable, open-minded»
There is no doubt at all: Capable and dedicated employees are the basis of any successful company.
In consulting and development, in production, quality inspection and shipping, we employ the best people in their respective fields. Skilful hands are a prerequisite for success also in industrial production.
With a precision second to none, our employees produce top-class quality. And with their open minds, they are continuously on the lookout for potential improvements and optimisations. In order to make sure this will remain so, we permanently train new specialists.
And knowing that they have the privilege of working where others spend their holidays has an additional positive impact on our employees’ motivation.
«Efficiency breeds growth»
To produce efficiently means to optimally utilise existing resources.
As early as during the design stage in the manufacture of hot-forged components, we take the utmost care to minimize raw materials consumption. This conserves resources and breeds business success. For our customers and for ourselves.
Our production systems, some of them fully automated, make us a promising partner even when manufacturing large production runs.
«Painstakingly planned and surprisingly flexible»
Efficient production also implies accurate planning of logistics on a local and international scale.
From raw materials procurement to shipping of the finished parts – our logistics people perform a high-precision job day in, day out. They make sure that promised dates are observed and that required raw materials are available in sufficient quantities.
Boundless flexibility is the hallmark of our shipping people. Occasionally, we split up production lots among several deliveries to different destinations. We deliver our products by road, rail, sea or air to anywhere in the world – and just in time.
Our national and international customers appreciate and rely on this high level of flexibility.
«Ready to use as scheduled»
Modern just-in-time production requires partners who keep their promises. We know that and therefore always keep a watchful eye on scheduled dates.
We always observe promised dates, no matter whether single hot-forged components or ready-to-use assemblies are involved. Our customers in all corners of the world rely on this.
This fills us with pride and spurs us on to achieve top performance over and over again.
