Series production & procurement
Made in China
Production in China is a key component of CEKAtec's manufacturing strategy. Through its own facility in Jiaxing, in the greater Shanghai area, the company combines international sourcing, efficient series production, and Swiss quality standards into a high-performance overall package . Since the expansion of the production site in 2017, large production runs in particular have been implemented economically and reliably.
Efficient series production for high volumes
Production in China is particularly advantageous for large production runs. At its Jiaxing site, CEKAtec handles series production starting at around 40,000 units per year. Proximity to a strong supplier network and short distances enable efficient implementation and significant cost advantages. At the same time, customers benefit from a stable supply chain and high manufacturing flexibility.
Another advantage lies in the ability to carry out labor-intensive assembly steps directly on site. Complex assemblies and accessories are manufactured, assembled, and tested in China. This allows for process optimization and a sustainable reduction in production costs without compromising quality.
Strong procurement and supplier networks
International sourcing is a key component of production in China. CEKAtec continuously manages and develops its supplier network in Asia. Suppliers are carefully selected, audited, and regularly reviewed to ensure stable, long-term partnerships and consistently high quality.
Proximity to Shanghai also provides access to specialized suppliers and simplifies logistical processes such as transport, customs clearance, and material availability. This results in shorter delivery times and greater planning reliability for customer projects.
Quality assurance according to Swiss standards
Despite production taking place in China, the same quality standards apply as at the Swiss site. Clear processes, documented approvals, and transparent procedures ensure consistently high product quality. This is complemented by comprehensive on-site inspection and testing procedures.
In Jiaxing, tests such as hand and lifespan tests are conducted, the results of which are directly incorporated into product development. This creates a continuous improvement process that sustainably increases both product quality and the efficiency of series production.
Interaction between China and Switzerland
CEKAtec's particular strength lies in the close collaboration between its locations in China and Switzerland. While series production and procurement take place in China, Switzerland handles key tasks such as development, quality assurance, and some final assembly.
This model combines the cost advantages of production in China with the precision and control of Swiss quality control. Short decision-making processes and close coordination between teams create a seamless process – from the initial idea to the finished series.
Production in China as part of a holistic solution
For CEKAtec, production in China is not an isolated process, but rather part of an integrated value chain. Development, testing, procurement, and series production are seamlessly interwoven. This allows customers to benefit from predictable costs, short time-to-market, and high product quality.
By combining international production and Swiss engineering, CEKAtec offers a powerful solution for companies that want to realize their products efficiently and in a scalable way.
