About us
In the factory on Weiherstrasse in Bayreuth, in addition to our own dictation machines, products for customers are also increasingly being made to order. Whether an engine control for car seats, radio units for trains or innovative solutions for e-mobility - as an electronic contract manufacturer, we face almost every challenge. From small sensors to assemblies for large systems. There are many good reasons for relocating production to Grundig Business Systems.
Relocation of production - why switching to Grundig Business Systems is worthwhile
There are many good reasons to outsource the production of electronic components. There are just as many good reasons to choose Grundig Business Systems as an EMS service provider. Because the range of services offered by the EMS partner plays a key role in determining the quality of the end product. Grundig Business Systems convinces with know-how and first-class services from the first inquiry to delivery.
Execution and project management
The biggest challenge when changing or relocating the production of electronic components is the data situation. If it was created by external developers, the entire know-how is usually not transferred. Thanks to many years of expertise in electronics manufacturing, Grundig Business Systems can prepare a deficient data situation so that both circuit boards and housing parts can be produced in series production without a loss of quality.
We call it Design for Manufacturing - our competence to be able to manufacture high-quality products even when data is unknown. It is part of our service to accompany the customer through the entire process. This includes the complete production from mounting to device assembly, the EMC advice, as well as a well thought-out production chain including internal and external processes such as painting and potting.
Material management
Required components are no longer available? We take care of it and provide an equivalent replacement with the necessary parameters and functions in order to be able to manufacture on schedule. Obsolescence management as well as product and supplier selection are our tasks. We also have complex warehousing and can guarantee short lead times.
Manufacturing quality
Grundig Business Systems offers two different assembly processes: SMT and THT production. In addition to the target agreements with the customer, all products go through established internal approval processes to guarantee the best quality. And: At our factory, there is no production without the appropriate know-how. All of our employees are appropriately trained in handling and programming the production systems to ensure the highest quality of the end product.
Our company is growing
The area of electronic contract manufacturing has been an integral part of Grundig Business Systems' success for years and ensures increasing company growth. We know that outsourcing manufacturing services is a matter of trust. That is why customer satisfaction is our top priority. The annual customer satisfaction surveys show that 100% of our customers would hire us again and most would even recommend us. This is confirmed by Silvan Hartwig, Managing Director of Abaled: "You can rely on GBS even under tight time pressure. It's great when an EMS partner goes along so well!"
Quality - Made in Germany
Millions are invested in upgrading the machine park every year. We integrate traceability and Industry 4.0 into our production processes. Every component and every step in production can be traced. All important production data can be called up at any time and provide information about the quality of the production. In the event of errors, the problem area can be quickly narrowed down and countermeasures can be taken. We are not only certified by quality management according to ISO 9001 but also according to the more stringent standards of the automotive industry IATF 16949 and for medical technology products according to ISO 13485.
With our high level of expertise in the fields of electronics and mechatronics, we have now made a name for ourselves in electronic contract manufacturing. You too can rely on proximity and top quality "Made in Germany"!
