The technical challenge of these parts is that they are complex parts with high demands on dimensional and geometric tolerances with high Cpk value requirements. In order to meet the market demand, our customer made a strategic decision to find a supplier that could be a capacity buffer on all critical pump- and dosing-head parts on a pump segment in strong growth. Quality, capacity, OTD and price competitiveness were key selection parameters.

Key challenge was to find a strategic partner/supplier that could act as a capacity buffer for a range of complex pump- and dosing-heads in PVC.
