Working Together
Over the past 13 years our product range has constantly been growing. Many of the products have been developed in close collaboration with, and involving a significant contribution from, various labs. The ultimate aim is to serve the launch user as well as the rest of the accelerator community. We have been continuously accumulating experience in requirements gathering, specification writing, project management, industrialization of prototypes, series manufacturing and quality assurance and control. And add to this technical support, monitoring of component obsolescence, warranties, and more.
Apart from products being developed for the entire community, there are also many projects under way in the labs that are lab specific and that may never be needed anywhere else. The challenges, however, are the same as those listed above. So why not combine your expertise and needs with our experience in addressing those needs?
Working closely together we can address your specific needs rapidly, professionally and with controlled costs.
