<strong>Touratech</strong> is strengthening its presence in Germany, with production, <strong>as</strong>sembly and sales b<strong>as</strong>ed in Niedereschach<br />

now and in the future. It is a key element of our company‘s philosophy to be able to continue to<br />

guarantee our customers quality “Made in Germany”.<br />

Because not every part can be produced directly at <strong>Touratech</strong>,<br />

we still need sub-suppliers. These are also predominantly<br />

b<strong>as</strong>ed in the region.<br />

Ide<strong>as</strong> for new products evolve out of suggestions from our<br />

customers, from our race team or from our own experience.<br />

Our development team then turns these ide<strong>as</strong> into new<br />

parts. This is followed by an extensive test ph<strong>as</strong>e with<br />

prototypes. When the l<strong>as</strong>t possible weakness h<strong>as</strong> been<br />

eliminated, production can start in Niedereschach.<br />

The parts are cut by l<strong>as</strong>er from aluminium sheets<br />

and polycarbonate panels, e.g. the handlebar<br />

bracket for the Garmin GPSMap 278 navigation<br />

system. The very sharp-edged metal parts<br />

are then ground smooth, i.e. they rotate in a<br />

drum with abr<strong>as</strong>ive media until all the edges<br />

have been rounded. The parts prepared in<br />

this way are then given their required form<br />

on the bending presses. The next station for<br />

the raw parts is the surface treatment. For the<br />

aluminium bracket this means anodising.<br />
