Flexibility

M-Products strives to leave little or nothing to chance. With our own tool workshop, our own technical department for production equipment maintenance, our transport vehicles and our own drawing and designing department, M-Products can be as flexible as our customer wants us to be. In addition to that, we keep thousands of items in stock in our modern warehouse. The outcomes are quick responses to market demands and delivering on our promises.

Innovation

With our own drawing and design department, modern design software and our own R&D department, M -Products has all it takes to be a quality partner in product design and development projects. Precisely because M-Products controls and implements nearly all the sub-processes of a given project, the subsequent steps within the overall process can be accounted for from an early stage.

Design department

The M-Products design department works with contemporary design software. The SolidEdge 3-D drawing software enables us to accurately implement complex designs. Because this software suite spans the entire design process, several steps can be implemented digitally. This saves not only on creating physical prototypes but also on time and money.

sing the Femap software suite, products and materials can be stressed virtually. This allows calculating from an early stage how certain materials and structures will behave under specified conditions.

• Automatic cutting lines
