PRODUCTION CAPACITY AND MANUFACTURING METHODS
From precision parts to large assemblies.
The range of products we manufacture is the broadest in Europe: from gram-sized precision parts to large industrial assemblies. For us, production capacity means more than just machinery—it means the ability to combine the right methods, factories, people, and processes according to the customer’s product requirements.
When production needs to be transferred, scaled, or launched in a controlled manner, the entire process must stay firmly in hand from the very beginning.
Methods as Part of the Whole
Stera’s production capacity covers multiple manufacturing methods and technologies. For the customer, this means that different manufacturing stages of a product can be planned and executed as a whole: with the right methods, at the right factory, and with agreed quality.
These methods are combined according to the customer’s product, material, batch size, intended use, and quality requirements. More detailed information can be found on the contract manufacturing page.
Production Transfers and Ramp-Ups
Outsourcing production, changing manufacturers, or ramping up a new product is a major strategic decision for the customer. Stera has strong experience in outsourcing takeovers, production transfers, and ramp-ups, as well as in the processes needed to make the start of collaboration as controlled as possible.
We understand the magnitude of the responsibility involved. Production must start in a controlled manner, responsibilities must be clear, and the overall process must remain as predictable as possible for the customer.
Scaling Capacity
Customer needs can change rapidly. That’s why production sometimes needs to be scaled, reorganized, or divided into phases. Stera’s multi-factory model provides options for this. The production capacity, methods, and expertise of different factories can be combined according to the situation.
For the customer, this means flexibility, operational reliability, and reduced risk. The multi-factory model helps Stera grow with the customer, even rapidly when needed.
Developing Manufacturability
Stera doesn’t just manufacture what the customer needs today. We look ahead together and develop the product’s manufacturability as part of the customer’s business.
Developing manufacturability can mean, for example, clarifying work stages, evaluating materials and methods, streamlining and automating production, developing tooling solutions, or considering testing at an early stage.
