Suppliers

For many years we have has a close working relationship with out machinery and raw materials suppliers in Taiwan, France and Finland. They have provided us with a good flow of information. This concerns the installation, operation and maintenance of lathes, milling machines and mixing/dosing machines.

They have been very accommodation and have also hosted un on excursions to their factory, and have followed this up with a number of visits to our facilities. With respect to raw materials, they have been essential to the development of our competence, and we have a close and good dialogue in order to successfully develop special material properties as per the customer’s desires.

Customers

During projects we have contact with customers concerning the relevant product, and we always work closely together on the design of prototypes. This applies in particular for discussing 3D drawings of the products viewed in relation to their planned use.

Significant points can be: to adapt the product such that it will be designed ergonomically correctly, have the lowest possible weight if it will be handled manually and of course so it fulfils the functionality it is intended to have.

Users

”Idea persons” are often users of potential products. These people have useful first-hand knowledge and thus provide us with invaluable information for developing test productions and prototypes. We often work closely with these people.
