Please contact us if you are looking for an innovative solution to a particular castor challenge. The answer to the problem may lie in designing a brand new product or just improving a single feature.
Finding solutions together with the customer
The starting point is usually a problem that cannot be solved with standard products. The customer’s need is thoroughly explored by the customer and Manner specialists, who work together to find a solution. At Manner, customisation means either modifying a standard product or designing a new one so that it meets the customer’s needs perfectly. Customisation may relate to the product’s appearance, fittings, functionality, durability, resistance to certain conditions or usability.
Small or great needs
At its simplest, customisation may be a small change to an existing product, though its impact on the customer can be great. Even a small change can significantly improve quality, which in turn can further increase the life cycle of the end product or prolong the service interval.
At the other end of the scale, Manner has designed completely new products to meet customer’s requirements. The need for customisation can be small or great, Manner is always ready to find a solution
