Schwer Fittings has its own European production facilities, where a large part of the stainless steel range is manufactured. The raw material used comes exclusively from certified European suppliers. The largest plant is located in the Czech Republic near Pilsen. Numerous products from the heavy-duty fittings portfolio are manufactured there using more than 100 state-of-the-art CNC machines - precisely, efficiently and with consistently high quality.

Quality assurance is based on a multi-stage process:

• First quality check directly on the CNC machine
• Further inspection on leaving the factory
• Final inspection at the main plant in Denkingen

This closely interlinked quality chain guarantees the highest precision and absolute process reliability

The short transport routes between the European production sites and the main plant clearly set Schwer Fittings apart from many of its competitors who rely on long international delivery routes. The result: faster delivery times, greater flexibility and a better environmental footprint.
