Quality, safety and efficiency
Expert in the sheet metal working industry
The sheet metal processing industry is a central component of many sectors: from automotive and aviation to mechanical engineering and building technology. In this demanding environment, maximum precision, material quality and process reliability are essential. Experts and appraisers not only evaluate machines, but also play a decisive role when it comes to quality assurance, damage analysis or investment decisions.
Experts are indispensable in mechanical engineering
Defective workmanship or faulty material cause high costs in the sheet metal processing industry because they lead to production downtimes, complaints or even liability claims. In such situations, companies need a strong partner. Qualified experts help companies to identify risks in mechanical engineering or systems at an early stage. They also assess damage and can explain complex technical relationships in a comprehensible manner. In this context, experts help with, among other things
- Damage (e.g. cracking, corrosion, dimensional deviations)
- Material and process analyses
- Quality disputes between clients and suppliers
- Insurance claims and liability issues
- Appraisals for machinery and equipment
- Technical assessments for investments or restructuring
