"Heerbrugg's central European location in Switzerland enables ESCATEC to build bridges for rapid communication and support for our customers all over the EU. From Heerbrugg we provide contract product design services and manufacturing from prototypes to low volume, high mix assembly. We also act as a bridge to our factories in Asia that combine our Swiss quality and reliability standards with low labour costs for high volume production."

These Open Days enable us to share our vision of quality that is paramount in ESCATEC from having the latest equipment through to continual staff training so that they are familiar with the latest techniques. We are very proud of the fact that we have very low staff turnover and always try and develop each person's career to make their jobs more fulfilling."
