An idea evolves into a product
Our process chains are tailored to your requirements and product specifications.
Consulting:
We’re big enough to do the job, but small enough to work on a personal basis. We set store by personal contact in consulting and service. Our engineers, development specialists and sales men will translate your product requirements into complete solutions. They have the breadth of experience to take account of all production factors, from economic analyses to logistics.
Development:
Our yardstick for success is zero-defect products and end-to-end project support. The zero-defect approach starts with concept and consulting, covers design and development and includes all production and logistics steps. Customers use Hettich as an extended workbench in developing mechanical components and assemblies.

We use rapid prototyping processes to supply you with models and functional prototypes of components and assemblies. We’re experts in NC milling, stereo lithography, sheet metal processing and vacuum casting.
