Before you inquire
We start with a free initial consultation to clarify your requirements and parameters. Afterwards, you will receive a detailed offer with clearly defined project phases – from conception to commissioning.
Depending on the scope, the project takes between 3 and 18 months. Automation projects typically run for 12 months, while tooling and fixture projects are often shorter. We define clear milestones with you from the outset.
We work with Tier 1 suppliers, OEMs, and innovative medium-sized companies in the aerospace, automotive, and industrial sectors. We are driven by technically demanding projects – regardless of company size or origin. If you want to take your manufacturing to the next level, you've come to the right place.
We are ISO 9001 certified. For aviation projects, we provide fully traceable documentation in accordance with EN 9100 Aerospace standards.
Yes – we have completed projects for clients in Germany, France, Spain, the United Arab Emirates and other countries.
