What Do You Consider Your Key Differentiators As An EMS?

  • Family-owned business = short decision-making paths
  • Sustainability = no gas, no oil; Energy recovery heat pump in use - only renewable energy (mainly wind and green energy from energy provider); photovoltaics currently of 180kWpeak, expansion in 2023: 220kWpeak and in 2024: additional 180kWpeak; with the goal of 40-50% being self-produced
  • own certified EMC & climatic laboratory = available knowledge and resources; additional EMC laboratory for testing battery packs for passenger cars is under construction
  • automatization = team specializing in automation solutions
  • highest standards = ISO 9001; IATF 16949; ISO 13485; ISO 14001
  • Individual Embedded Solutions and Products = ToF, Sensor integration, With various pre-developed technology
  • Subsidiary companies with the same equipment = risk management
  • One Stop Shop - Development (R&D quota ob 5%!) - Validation - EMC - Production - After Sales Service
  • Cooperation: Matrix charging Pad = https://easelink.com/
  • Own products = ToF (time of flight sensoric) with a broad field of application
  • Challenges
  • Interest rates (material financing)
  • Energy costs
  • Collective agreements for employees increase by 12 percent
  • Material supply for running production
  • Rigid material supply chain (eg. NCNR) vs. Strong fluctuations for non-binding delivery call-offs from OEMs
  • many discussions on the implementation of price adjustments
  • Hiring of specialist staff (eg. Q-experts)
