Beflex starts building new prototyping centre in Hamburg

"Our branch in Hamburg will focus on rapid prototyping mainly for customers in the aerospace and medical technology industries, as well as those who develop high-quality industrial products and require complex electronic assemblies. The big advantage is that we can seamlessly transition from prototyping to small series production at the site in Hamburg and we only have to change the plant, not the supplier for large series production," said Jens Arnold, Managing Director of beflex. The company produces highly complex electronic prototypes in a week right up to the transition to series production of any batch size thereby completing the KATEK Group's services.

Andreas Klinger, Business Development Manager, has been responsible for strategic business alignment at beflex since early July. Klinger, 55, noted: "Accompanying the customer from the initial idea to the finished product changes the co-operation to a strategic partnership in which individual solutions are generated in a team and everyone's experience is incorporated. This makes the process of product introduction faster and more efficient and ensures that know-how remains with the customer and production takes place in close proximity." Production in Hamburg is due to start in autumn 2020.
