Given the increasing geopolitical uncertainties these days, companies in Europe should be aware that globally structured supply chains could soon become dysfunctional due to completely changed market situations and disruption. Crises such as the coronavirus pandemic have painfully demonstrated that even supposedly long-term cost advantages from low-cost sourcing from Asia can ultimately lead to higher total cost of ownership (TCO) due to longer-term procurement problems. Therefore, the "Made in Germany" concept is becoming increasingly important and essential for companies that value quality.
In this global view, the advantage of local manufacturers is becoming increasingly attractive. Especially in industries where precise, complex and reliable components such as printed circuit boards (PCB) are essential, European manufacturers such as PRECOPLAT decisive advantages:
This quality and reliability are in line with the image of products that are “Made in Germany” and underline the advantages of local production.
Reliable quality without compromise
One of the biggest challenges is the quality of imported PCBs. Since you are often dealing with suppliers from different regions, there can be significant differences in manufacturing standards and quality requirements. This can lead to the assemblies associated with the PCBs being compromised by faulty components - which can lead to production downtime and increased warranty risks.
PRECOPLAT guarantees consistently high quality and reliability through strictly monitored processes at the sole production site in Germany.
"Our customers benefit from a location advantage that not only impresses with quality and reliability, but also with sustainability. With short delivery routes and efficient production, we are actively contributing to climate protection," explains Andreas Brüggen, Managing director of PRECOPLAT GmbH. "Our flexibility and experience enable us to implement individual customer requirements quickly and reliably."
communication without hurdles
Instead of laborious communication across time zones and language barriers, customers benefit from a direct contact person on site. This means that individual requirements are immediately understood and implemented precisely. The website also provides a Live chat with direct contacts from the sales department. In addition, PRECOPLAT numerous other uncomplicated communication channels to process your requests quickly and reliably.1
Calculable costs without customs duties
Don't be caught unprepared by new tariffs - be prepared! In times when trade conflicts, uncertain transport routes and exchange rate fluctuations as well as tariffs imposed by the US administration and on imports from Asia are causing turbulence, it makes more sense to rely on a circuit board that is completely manufactured in Germany.
Build local, reliable supply chains with trustworthy partners in a timely manner. Rely on PRECOPLAT and get your PCBs always on time and without customs problems. Production in Germany ensures transparent and predictable prices.
protection of intellectual property
When importing PCB's There is always a risk of infringement of intellectual property rights. PRECOPLAT your intellectual property is always safe. There are no risks from counterfeit or cloned circuit boards, only credible, certified products directly from our own production in Germany.
On-time deliveries – 365 days a year
In events like the Chinese New Year celebration Many companies in China are on holiday, which results in delivery delays. PRECOPLAT There are no such bottlenecks. Our PCB production in Krefeld continues to run reliably, so that customers receive fast and predictable deliveries at all times – and that year-round. With printed circuit boards "Made in Germany" rely on a reliable supply chain without unexpected risks.
