Long-term partnerships with suppliers so that we can grow together

Our suppliers are of great importance to the success of our company and our customers. Through trusting partnerships along the entire value chain, we ensure that quality and service always take centre stage. This orientation connects us with our suppliers. We are proud to have partners who share the same passion for industrial automation as we do.

One of our long-standing suppliers is the ISO-9001-certified Käppeli welding mechanics AG, which has its headquarters in the building opposite. The company specialises in a wide range of welding processes. As a professional for quality welding in the fields of medical technology, tool and mould making, precision mechanics, aerospace, defence technology and the chemical and food industries, Käppeli welding mechanics AG welds parts without pores and with high strength. Also for us.

Thanks to the close proximity of TRI-MATIC and Käppeli, we can discuss existing and new projects quickly. This ensures short and efficient communication channels and proximity. It also shortens delivery times and saves on delivery costs.

Oliver Ligthart, owner of Käppeli welding mechanics AG, and Michael Bucher, Head of Projects & Assembly at TRI-MATIC, recently met for a chat. Find out how the high quality requirements for the partnership are met.

Oli, what is important to you about our partnership?

Values are very important in business relationships. These include mutual appreciation and respectful behaviour. They also include honesty, openness, reliability and trustworthiness. Working with TRI-MATIC is a togetherness. These are all important factors in our long-standing partnership and also for our Swiss quality. Another plus point, of course, is the geographical proximity.

Michi, in what areas does Käppeli welding mechanics AG support us?

As soon as we are allowed to develop a customised assembly that requires welding, pickling and polishing, Käppeli welding mechanics AG supports us from A-Z. For larger quantities, Oli uses automated laser welding to produce for us efficiently and cost-effectively with consistently high quality. We can also realise adaptations in drilling and turning technology together.

I appreciate being able to drop by at very short notice to discuss new challenges in person and hold project meetings at the same table. This significantly increases the efficiency and quality of communication.

Oli, which innovations are part of an intelligent supply chain?

We are at the cutting edge of welding technology with the 900W fibre laser. We also have a fully automated wire feed system. This enables precise and reproducible welding work to be carried out, which increases efficiency and quality.

Using reusable packaging and transport materials and thus improving sustainability in the supply chain is also a big issue for Michi and me, which we want to implement consistently.

Oli, what are the key factors for successful projects and applications?

Käppeli welding mechanics AG has many years of experience in various welding processes. Our in-house production depth is an important key factor for our customers and guarantees high quality and flexibility.

In order to achieve the required goals of our customers, the requirements, applications and ISO standards must be clarified. We offer customised solutions that are tailored to the specific needs of our customers. This ability to provide customised solutions can significantly increase the success of a project.

We evaluate welding processes in terms of strength, cost-effectiveness and process reliability. Quality control is also an important point. We have implemented quality control measures to ensure that the welds meet the required standards and specifications.

Michi, what requirements do we have of our partners?

As a player in industrial automation, we have high quality requirements for our business partners. These include high-quality services, in-depth technical expertise, ISO 9001 certification, high delivery reliability, competitive prices, fast, direct communication and a willingness to enter into agreements and developments. A special feature of our relationship with Käppeli Schweissmechanik is our proximity. This enables us to achieve a high pace in projects. In return, we offer stable business relationships and long-term partnerships with growth prospects.

Our ability to provide customised solutions can significantly increase the success of a project.
