ABOUT US

Our philosophy

Achieving success together – in friendly, straightforward partnership. This is what we stand for, what we are proud of and what we aim to demonstrate every day when we deal with our partners and customers. Because there’s nothing that brings people together more than a common goal and a shared passion – in our case, that’s a good end-product.

History

This was the vision Martin Gärtner had when he founded his company in 2002. Starting out on a small scale with just two employees and limited machinery, but more than enough motivation to make up for it, he created the first specialist components for the motor sports sector. Today, we can look back on almost 20 years of history, and yet it’s still early days. With our constantly growing team managing a wide array of machinery, every day we are glad to be a part of this company.

Quality assurance

Quality is paramount when it comes to our services. In order to guarantee this, we have an in-house measuring equipment department, which is not only equipped with the best 3D measuring technology, but also inspects and monitors the measuring equipment at each individual workstation on an ongoing basis. As a result, you benefit from on-schedule deliveries, simplified incoming goods inspection and a perfect price-performance ratio thanks to a minimal error rate.
