Quality as standard

“When we started, we wanted to focus on quality,” said Peter. “We have developed a facility packed with machinery that delivers very good quality – and the Kongsberg fits in well there!”

In our latest video, Peter explains how the precise, automated cutting of the Kongsberg table has delivered benefits to the business through improved efficiency, productivity and reliability - and how it has also enabled the company to expand its offering.

One of the benefits since installing the Kongsberg is that we have definitely gained new customers, with new products that we didn't have before.

“One of the benefits since installing the Kongsberg is that we have definitely gained new customers, with new products that we didn't have before,” he said. “With the tools we have, we can still develop many, many products that we have in mind but haven't yet brought to market.

“I can plan with this machine in production, saying, okay - it doesn't go on vacation, it doesn't get sick, it's available to me every day,” he said. “I can simply rely on this machine every day.”
