FSW Services – from idea to implementation

Technical consultation to each step as FSW full-line supplier
Many years of experience with numerous global projects and our qualified employees guarantee professional support for our customers. With its FSW services, Stirtec guides you from the very beginning, when design assistance in product development is required, through the subsequent feasibility analysis, prototype and pre-series production, right up to your own serial production equipment in the final step. Our aim is to identify the needs and wishes of our customers and find the best possible solution for each of them. In this context, we also offer additional services, such as quality inspection procedures (leakage test, part measurement via GOM) or ramp-up support, which guarantee precise results and smooth processing. Stirtec’s specialists support you with their deep technical knowledge from the very first second to recurring machine maintenance and spare parts management or FSW tool supply over the entire life cycle of our products. We care about your satisfaction!
