potential for Feintool
The systematic implementation of our Group strategy is bearing fruit.
The focused expansion of our core skills in the two strategic business
areas of systems engineering and components manufacturing is firstly
resulting in synergies and increasing the benefits to our customers.
Secondly, the efficient processes resulting from our vertical structure,
organized along segment, business unit and regional lines, give us
a critical degree of efficiency and customer focus.

Selected markets offer potential
for healthy basis
The Feintool Group is pursuing a focused,
successful strategy in sectors with a global
dimension and high growth potential such
as the automotive and telecommunications
industries. However, our clients are also
innovative players in other exacting fields
such as electronics, electrical engineering,
medical and optical engineering and the
leisure equipment industry.

Assembling units
Assembly/
automation systems
Fineblanked/formed parts Plastic/metal
sub-assemblies
Besides this broad base in future-driven
sectors, the global dimension also contributes
to a healthy degree of stability. Feintool
has strong positions in both Europe and
the USA. Added to this, it is building up its
position in Asia.
By meeting our customers’ demands in the
areas of engineering, development and
delivery times, as well as reliability and
quality, Feintool has established an excellent
market position. This is underpinned on a
daily basis by ideas and actions that put our
customers first. The process of combining
our different quality systems to form a groupwide,
uniform quality management system
is under way. E-business will also be brought
in as an additional aid to making our
technical communications simpler and more
efficient.
Technologies, core skills and synergies
for two-pronged strategy success
Feintool is both a system builder and a
components manufacturer. All the core skills
derived from mastering these comprehensive
processes help us establish our goals:
optimum solutions, both in technical and
financial terms, for manufacturing parts and
components in large volumes.
At the systems engineering level, Feintool
combines its core skills in engineering,
manufacturing and sales for fineblanking/
stamping/forming, as well as fastening
and riveting and the automated assembly
of components and units made from metal
and plastic.
At the manufacturing level, Feintool concentrates
at its own plants on its core skills
in high-volume manufacture of system
components from various different metals
in combination with plastics to form readyto-install
components and sub-assemblies.
Where additional skills are required,
the Group cooperates with selected, local
partners.
