Product development
With an extensive global in-house product development team, we strongly rely on close cooperation between quality assurance, product management and product development. Market-specific product requirements are determined prior to the start of project and detailed practice-orientated testing is conducted during the entire development process.
New products
Before any product is added to our range, it is subjected to several days of endurance testing in our network of test laboratories, all of which are certified to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025.

Customers play an important role in continuous improvement. With a highly experienced, in house team of local experts, we listen and guide customers on their applications and experiences. Feedback is captured and used to further develop the ever growing and expanding product range.
Occurring product reclamations are processes on a timely basis. In case of a reclamation increase for a particular product, we act immediately to develop potential problem solutions early on.
