Shaping<br />

by cutting<br />

with extreme<br />

precision<br />

We manufacture complex industrial<br />

components for sectors that operate<br />

with extreme requirements on<br />

precision and quality. Thanks to our<br />

superior technical skills, the leading<br />

spearhead technology on the market<br />

and remarkable flexibility, we<br />

can handle even the most challenging<br />

production projects. <strong>Our</strong> broad<br />

customer base encompasses worldleading<br />

pharmaceutical companies,<br />

the aerospace industry and hi-tech<br />

niche enterprises.<br />

We take on everything from comprehensive designand-build<br />

commissions – where we are involved from<br />

the initial idea phase onwards – to small-batch production<br />

and consultancy in the field of product development.<br />

By participating actively in the process from<br />

the drawing board stage, we ensure agile production<br />

and make sure to meet all demands and expectations.<br />

In fact, the earlier we join the process, the better we<br />

can optimise production and the end result.


Using our own-design process management system<br />

– PLUPP (Product Lifetime Unified Production<br />

Path) – we ensure that the products progress from<br />

prototype phase to batch production in a smooth,<br />

cost-efficient manner.<br />

Focus on the environment<br />

and sustainability<br />

<strong>LK</strong> <strong>Precision</strong> focuses unswervingly on work with sustainability.<br />

In all areas of our manufacturing process,<br />

we apply environmental management and quality<br />

assurance systems approved to the applicable ISO<br />

standards. We tailor our development production<br />

activities to enhance sustainability, and work closely<br />

with <strong>customers</strong> and organisations on sustainable solutions.<br />

We always choose the most eco-friendly work<br />

methods and are committed to reducing emissions<br />

and energy consumption. The demands we make on<br />

our own operation are often much more stringent<br />

than those <strong>set</strong> out in the prevailing environmental<br />

legislation and regulations, and we strive constantly<br />

to minimise our environmental impact in all areas.<br />

Service and the personal touch<br />

With unswerving commitment to your specific needs<br />

and a finely tuned problem-solving approach, we<br />

make sure your delivery features the highest quality<br />

in all areas. Throughout the production process, we<br />

are on hand to provide advice, answer questions and<br />

keep you updated about how the work is progressing.<br />

We supply the personal touch which we know our<br />

<strong>customers</strong> find reassuring.<br />

30 advanced CNC machines, most of which can<br />

perform 5-axle machining. Through regular quality<br />

assurance processes in our own-design quality system,<br />

we guarantee the highest quality in all phases<br />

of the manufacturing process. We are also investing<br />

heavily in automation and robotisation so as to optimise<br />

efficiency and capacity utilisation. This actually<br />

entails several of our machines operating 24/7.<br />

Prototype or full-scale production?<br />

<strong>Our</strong> manufacturing process is principally geared to<br />

small and medium-sized batches that are subject to<br />

the highest demands on precision. The customer’s<br />

needs, wishes and requirements are always centre<br />

stage, and we undertake everything from assistance<br />

with product development to prototype manufacture<br />

and full-scale production.<br />

Examples of the services we provide include:<br />

· Project management<br />

· Product development<br />

· Materials science<br />

· Tool manufacture<br />

· Preparation<br />

· Production<br />

· Measuring facility services<br />

· Assembly<br />

· Manual processing<br />

· Warehousing<br />

· Labelling, cleaning and packaging<br />

World-class equipment<br />

We keep a close eye on the development of new<br />

machinery, and make sure our production apparatus<br />

is always updated with the best equipment on the<br />

market. <strong>Our</strong> machine fleet currently comprises around


When<br />

mistakes are<br />

not an<br />

option<br />

The components we manufacture<br />

are often used in the medico-technical<br />

industry and other sectors<br />

where human life and health can be<br />

put at risk if the products provide<br />

anything less than optimal function.<br />

The highest precision and accuracy<br />

are thus the alpha and omega of<br />

our production processes. Here is a<br />

small selection of customer cases.


CASE<br />

SAAB<br />

BOL300<br />

FROM DRAWING BOARD<br />

TO PRODUCTION<br />

CLIENT<br />

The SAAB electronic defence system for military<br />

aircraft involves the manufacture of the BOL<br />

missile defence system, which protects aircraft<br />

from missile attack by firing a blast of heat towards<br />

heat-seeking missiles, thus leading them away<br />

from <strong>their</strong> intended target.<br />

NEED<br />

With a tight window for getting its new product,<br />

BOL3000, to the market, SAAB needed a full-service<br />

strategic partner to assist with everything from the design<br />

phase to final production of the components. The<br />

structure of the product made it imperative for SAAB<br />

to work with a supplier skilled in both design and the<br />

advanced machining of tough-to-process materials.<br />

RESULT<br />

In just a short time, we designed and manufactured<br />

components for the BOL300 system. The project<br />

was a great success and helped SAAB launch its new<br />

product on the market within the specified timeframe.<br />

Over the course of 20 years as a strategic supplier<br />

to SAAB, we have designed and manufactured<br />

a large number of similar components<br />

for the company’s range<br />

of aircraft.<br />
