Our development activities in Dresden are integrated with our pilot manufacturing services in Dresden, supporting the seamless transition from development to market supply. Pilot manufacturing is performed in a Class 8 (ISO 14644 or Class 100,000 FED-STD-209E) multi-room, clean room environment. The proximity between development and pilot production supports a manufacturing-oriented product development process, where a focus on manufacturability guides the development process already in the earliest stages of product development. Our ability to manufacture finished and semi-finished parts in our Dresden facility allows this site to serve as an “in-house second source” for our serial production in the Czech Republic.
