Co-development and collaborative agility

Beyond its expertise in cutting, tooling, injection, overmolding, machining and assembly, its engineering capacity is at the heart of its positioning and allows it to provide each Client with optimized technical and production solutions. Its high expertise in project management and its multi-site organization allow it to effectively mobilize ad hoc skills and integrate the specific requirements of each project (example: location of prototyping, imposed material supplier, etc.).
Its suppliers are trained in this collaborative organization. When they obtain the status of “premium” supplier, they can intervene, in co-business, in the development of solutions and in project engineering.
