Project types

Low-volume and series production, from one prototype

The same team supports your part through every stage, so you do not need a new supplier each time volumes change.

1 to 10 pcs

Prototypes

Fast parts to test fit and function, often in Europe for short lead times.

10 to 500 pcs

Small batches

Pre-series and low-volume runs without a minimum order quantity.

500+ pcs

Series production

Repeatable quality over every delivery, with agreed inspection plans.

Kits & assemblies

Assemblies

Several parts and processes combined, delivered ready to install.

Made in Europe

Speed and precision

Best for prototypes, tight tolerances, urgent orders and parts that need short supply chains.

Made in Asia

Volume and cost

China, India and Southeast Asia. Best for larger series, tooling-heavy parts and projects where unit price matters most.

Manufacturing in China, India or elsewhere in Asia, with an EU contact who speaks your language and handles quality, shipping and customs. Many clients combine both: prototypes in Europe, series production in Asia.

Quality control

Quality you can check, on paper and on the part

We agree requirements before production starts and check them before parts ship. You decide how much documentation your project needs.

  • Qualified factoriesPartners chosen for your process, volume and required certifications
  • First article inspectionSamples measured and approved before series production
  • Dimensional reportsMeasurement reports against your drawing on request
  • Material certificatesEN 10204 3.1 certificates and full material traceability
  • Compliance documentsRoHS and REACH declarations for EU markets
  • Pre-shipment checkPhotos and inspection before parts leave the factory

FAQ

Contract manufacturing questions

Not answered here? Ask us directly. You get a reply within 24 hours.

Ask a question
What files do I need for a manufacturing quote?

A 3D model (STEP or STL) and a 2D drawing (PDF or DXF) give the most accurate quote. Add quantity, material, finish, delivery location and your target date. If you only have a sketch or a sample part, send photos and dimensions and we will tell you what is missing.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

No. We handle single prototypes, low-volume batches and series production. Low-volume manufacturing is a large part of our work. Unit prices fall as quantities rise, so we will show you price breaks where they make a difference.

Do you work with companies across Europe?

Yes. We are an EU-based company and work with clients across Europe, including Germany, France, the Benelux, Poland, Italy, Spain and the Nordic and Baltic countries. We work in your time zone and deliver to your address.

How quickly will I get a quote?

You get a first answer within 24 hours: whether the part is feasible, which process and factory location we recommend, and an indicative price. A detailed quote for complex parts or tooling can take a few more days.

Do you manufacture in Europe or in Asia?

Both. We choose the location per part. Europe usually suits prototypes, tight tolerances and urgent orders. Asia, including China and India, usually suits larger series and tooling-heavy parts. Many clients prototype in Europe and move series production to Asia.

How does manufacturing in China or India work with an EU contact?

You deal only with us, in your language and time zone. We select and check the factory, approve samples with you, follow production and quality, and arrange shipping and EU customs. You get the cost advantage of Asian production without managing a supplier on the other side of the world.

Which materials can you work with?

Aluminium, steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, titanium, engineering plastics such as POM, PA and PEEK, moulding plastics such as ABS, PP and PC, and casting alloys. If your drawing calls for a specific grade, we find a factory that works with it.

How do you make sure the parts are right?

We agree quality requirements before production, approve first samples with you, and check parts before they ship. Dimensional reports, material certificates to EN 10204 3.1 and RoHS or REACH declarations are available on request.

Will you sign an NDA before I share drawings?

Yes. We are happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement before you send drawings, and we share your files only with the factory that quotes or makes your part.

Who handles shipping and customs?

We do. You choose express, optimum or economy delivery, and we arrange transport and customs clearance to your address, so parts arrive ready to use.
