Unit price and total cost
For large, stable series with a high share of manual work, locations with lower labour costs can offer lower unit prices. The full picture also includes transport and customs duties, the capital tied up in safety stock, the effort for quality assurance and complaints, and the risk of delayed deliveries.
Where a cable assembly supplier in Germany scores
- Short delivery times and short distances for samples, changes and repeat deliveries
- Flexibility with small and medium quantities and with fluctuating call-offs
- Direct coordination in the same language and time zone, including with design and quality assurance
- Fewer transport routes and lower safety stock
- Quality you can verify: visit the plant, review the processes, know your contacts
When manufacturing in Germany is particularly worthwhile
- Prototypes, pre-series and projects with frequent changes
- Variants and small series
- Safety relevant applications or applications that require documentation
- Demand at short notice and spare parts
- Projects in which development and production have to work closely together
Cable assembly from Kitzingen
Powertune has been manufacturing in Kitzingen near Würzburg since 2006, with its own design office, fully automatic and semi-automatic cable processing machines, electrical final testing of every wiring harness and an MES that schedules orders by due date and priority. Design, samples and series production are under one roof, which shortens project and delivery times.
