Summary: 
A German SME that supplies filter elements to a variety of industries is looking for SME partners in Eastern Europe or the Baltic States to manufacture customer-tailored filter elements. A range of bending and welding tasks as well as CNC (computerized numerical control) machining need to be carried out according to the specifications of the German company. A long-term subcontracting agreement is offered.
Description: 
A German family-owned SME is specialised in filter manufacturing. They deliver liquid filter elements to various sectors. Liquid filters are often installed as full flow filters or partial flow filters in suction lines and pressure lines in order to protect the following plant components. The filter elements concepts are in many cases individually tailored to specific applications with the objective to achieve the optimum operating life for the plants and equipment. In order to attain the relevant characteristics stainless steel wire mesh is used. The company is looking for a partner to take over part of the manufacturing and would like to subcontract the production of filter element parts in small and medium batch sizes. The work steps range from 3D constructions over welding and drawing to CNC machining and surface treatment (see below for complete list and illustration) with a focus on welding. It is important that the partner fulfills highest quality criteria that are set by the German company. The partner company should preferably be a family-owned SME, located centrally in Eastern Europe or the Baltic states with up to 50 employees. The co-operation should be long-term within a subcontracting agreement.
