Individual Manual Assembly and Partially or Fully Automated Assembly of Connectors for the Automotive Industry
Connectors are assembled using machines and equipment we develop and build ourselves. This enables us to assemble several hundred thousand connectors within one week. You as a customer can also benefit from our flexibility in assembly: we can assemble insulation parts customized especially according to your specifications and needs without any additional effort. Our universal assembly lines offer you the advantage of fast throughput times thanks to the low retooling times, among other things. And of course, we also have in-line inspection systems, not to mention automatic printing/labeling and packing.

Early Error Prevention
We work using an FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) to ensure defects are prevented from an early stage – no matter whether in feasibility analysis, production of operating equipment, or prototyping.
Outstanding Quality
We are committed to the zero-defect target as specified by the International Automotive Task Force (IATF).
We have the lowest error rate in the entire market. We also guarantee you the lowest contingency risk and the avoidance of expensive line stoppages, combined with a high on-time delivery rate. We have been able to improve the quality of our connectors ourselves and can assure you of optimum quality monitoring, thanks to the high level of vertical integration in our plants. This guarantee is backed up by a functioning quality and environmental management system that is ISO-9001, ISO-14001, and IATF 16949 certified.
