Every innovation begins with a good idea and ends in a perfect trio. At least that is the case at Marquardt: Because our core competence is to create a perfect synergy of mechanics, electronics and software. We understand the development process as a complete structure of mechanical, electronic and software components. We adjust the interfaces of these three areas to a perfect fit. This way the trio is in perfect harmony.
As a creative mechatronics expert and partner of leading brands, we strive to make ideas become reality. But one thing we never do: to stand still. That is why at Marquardt, development and production interact like gear wheels. Test and validation are carried out throughout all product-cycle phases, from the first development steps to serial production, in order to eliminate errors from the outset. The advantage: We conduct our product testing in-house. We are able to perform almost all the required tests ourselves in our own laboratories and test centers. This allows Marquardt to react faster to deficiencies and improve its performance.
