About us
About TECSAFE

No standstill since the first second

Since July 2010, we have been operating our production at the Solingen site and thus maintaining proximity to many of our customers from the hand tool and industrial sectors. Today, TECSAFE is one of the leading producers of foam inserts for storage, securing, transportation and packaging.

In 2010, we started our production with a milling machine. 10 years later, we produce with almost 30 machines, over 2,500 m² of storage space and serve more than 100 producers, retailers and associations. We have always been delighted with the positive response and meet the constantly growing demand with currently more than 40 employees. We are proud of our growth, which has now been confirmed for the third time with the title “Growth Champion” from Focus magazine.

info

The production process at TECSAFE is already largely digitized, which enables us to process individual inquiries and small quantities just as economically as larger order volumes. This enables us to react very quickly and flexibly to customer requirements and, with delivery times of 2 weeks, we have realized an extremely fast production chain. We are constantly increasing the efficiency of our production chain in order to meet growing customer requirements for just-in-time deliveries and low storage capacities at eye level. As a result, we now have an optimized production chain with our 5 core processes:

Cutting

All foam inserts are cut to the correct basic dimensions before they are further processed in the CNC milling process. The use of special band saw blades enables a perfect cutting result with groove-free edges.

Cutting

CNC milling

The heart of our production is milling. We not only mill internal contours, but are also able to fit any material in our portfolio by milling external contours as case or cabinet inserts.

CNC milling

Rework

Each individual foam insert is carefully inspected after the milling process. Chips, protruding edges etc. are carefully removed by hand using scissors and tweezers. Our foam inlays are given an attractive sheen by the subsequent surface finishing.

Rework

Laser treatment

Our ultra-modern laser offers a wide range of organization and individualization options. Unlike conventional lettering, laser engravings can withstand even heavy material stress and guarantee good legibility at all times. In addition to workplace identifiers, serial numbers and article numbers in different font sizes and types, logos and other pictograms can also be easily immortalized in any position on the black foam surface.

Laser treatment

Quality assurance

We attach great importance to high-quality results. We meet this requirement with our quality assurance. Each insert is checked manually according to our quality characteristics before it is sent to our customers. Depending on customer requirements, the foams produced are also labeled in this step in order to meet the digital process requirements of our customers.

Quality assurance

Tecsafe stands for quality & innovation

Quality

Our success is no accident. TECSAFE has been based on 3 convictions right from the start:

Premium inside and outside

Premium inside and outside

Since the company was founded, we have been committed to the highest quality. This applies to our materials and our entire value chain, from production to quality assurance. But we also pursue the highest quality standards when it comes to service. With fast and flexible processes, we have also been fulfilling individual customer requirements from day one.

Fully digital

Fully digital

We have always actively invested in the development of our own technologies. Today, we are already looking at the second version of our unique online foam configurator and control our production processes using our specially developed process digitalization. Our technologies enable us to achieve a high degree of individuality for our customers while at the same time being cost-effective.

Environmentally conscious

Environmentally conscious

Packaging and protection are necessary, but not at any price. With our premium approach, we have also made a conscious decision to use higher quality materials in production. These are more expensive to produce, but also more environmentally friendly. Our customers are pleased with the high quality and our environment with the increased service life of our products.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a central component at TECSAFE. We therefore mainly use the highest quality PE foam, which is foamed using only CO². It is therefore 100% free of chemical vapors and is considered one of the most environmentally friendly of its kind. TECSAFE recycles 100% of all waste material. In addition, we generate the majority of our energy ourselves through our own combined heat and power plant and are constantly optimizing our production in order to be even more efficient in our use of resources.
