Development activities

Series production and the product life cycle

  • Once development has been completed, we expertly adjust your production - or that of an EMS - and support your system throughout its entire life cycle.
  • We take the pressure off your team by providing competent support for your successful brand-name products.
  • In the event of component discontinuations, we will help you revise your systems and products.
