An Optimum of Flexibility and Delivery Reliability During Purchasing and Production
Market requirements are continuously changing. A high ability to adapt is essential nowadays. Our purchasing strategy is oriented toward the economic requirements that we have identified. In doing so, it is a matter of course that we and our partners focus on the long-term economic advantage for both sides.

- Design and tool-dependent synthetic parts
- Electronic printed circuit boards
- Electromechanical Components
- Design-dependent parts for turn lathes, mill and stamping work
- Design-dependent transforming items
- Design-dependent textile products
- Pneumatic components
- Services
- Semi-finished goods
- Technical and medical standard products
- Sensor technology
Requirements
- Annual needs for our items lie between 1 to 40,000 pieces.
- We mainly pursue single sourcing.
- We place general orders covering several years.
- For logistical reasons, we avoid using auxiliary parts and prefer functionally tested structural components.
- Kanban delivery contracts are preferred.

Quality Starts With Supplier Selection
Our goal is to address the increasing technological quality demands of our clients – despite sinking market prices as a consequence of steadily limited funds in the health care sector.
We are counting on cooperation and on the continuous improvement of processes on a partnership basis. For this reason we give preference to suppliers whose company philosophy resembles ours. Furthermore, our partners should distinguish themselves through established and applied quality management, delivery and contractual reliability, as well as taking great pleasure in innovation.
Requirements Profile for Suppliers
The success of our medical devices is strictly dependent on their quality
We pursue the goal of fulfilling the ever-increasing technological quality requirements of our customers while keeping in mind decreasing market prices in an environment of scarce resources for health care.
In following our purchasing strategy, which is oriented toward economical and ecological requirements, we prefer long-term cooperation with suppliers who share our company philosophy. Together with you we strive for top quality and great efficiency. We consider ourselves to be a developing management enterprise with exceptionally good access to the market. As such, we look for national and international suppliers of structural components and primarily conduct final assembly and testing on our premises ourselves.
