Belangrijk daarbij is dat we het complete ontwikkeltraject van A tot Z voor onze rekening kunnen nemen. Met veel kennis en ervaring op het gebied van ontwerp en value engineering kijken we hierbij samen met onze opdrachtgevers naar de zowel technisch als economisch best haalbare oplossingen. Doordat we binnen de groep beschikken over uitgebreide productie-, assemblage- en testfaciliteiten in combinatie met een veelzijdige supply-chain, kunnen we die oplossingen vervolgens ook snel en efficiënt realiseren.

Binnen de Hittech Groep zijn alle competenties verenigd om minuscule hoognauwkeurige onderdelen, maar ook complexe (sub)assemblies en complete machines te ontwikkelen en te produceren. Als dynamische private onderneming met Nederlands-Duitse roots doen we dat voor veeleisende klanten over de hele wereld.

ABOUT THE Hittech group

Masters in improvement

We are a group of self-responsible but not independent companies supported by a relatively small holding. We aim to promote flexibility, customer focus, and entrepreneurship while facilitating collaboration within this group to unlock scale advantages and share best practices.

Our strategic focus is on a specific set of markets in which we strive to be the best in our field. These markets are defined by global megatrends, such as improving life by enabling affordable healthcare, advanced research, and a globally accessible digital world. We do this by managing the entire development process from start to finish and leveraging our design and value engineering expertise to find the most technically and economically viable solutions for our customers.

We continuously improve our processes and the products we create, engaging our customers through value engineering. We want to understand the challenges our partners face so we can be a part of the solution from the early stages of development. We communicate openly and respectfully, even when the going gets tough. For us, this is the only way to create meaningful, reciprocal and profitable cooperation.

We are a global system supplier where you can outsource developing and producing high-end MedTech, semicon and analytical equipment, alongside robotics and industrial automation solutions. We specialise in highly complex and accurate mechanics, mechatronics and opto-mechanics, often used in vacuum and ultra-clean environments.

We operate efficiently within our extensive production, assembly and testing facilities. We maintain a versatile and specialised supply chain network and unite all our competencies to develop and produce small, high-precision parts, complex sub-assemblies, up to complete machines.

Innovations are evolving rapidly, and to remain competitive, we must stay curious and eager to learn. We utilise our teams’ curiosity and vast experience to enhance our knowledge and skills, applying them in our state-of-the-art facilities. We embed creativity and innovation in our products and services. As improvement experts, we are committed to improving continuously and are never content with the status quo.

Our technical competencies, decades of experience, strong supply chain network, and tight project management to coordinate all activities make us the perfect partner for managing the entire product life cycle, from prototype to reproducible and economically viable series product.
