Frequently Asked Questions

How does your custom development process work?

We start with a short questionnaire covering the key technical details. From there, we check which size from our modular system fits best and whether suitable components already exist. Based on that, we develop an initial design proposal, which we review with you before providing a quote.

At what quantity does a custom solution make sense?

We also produce single units. Whether a custom solution makes sense in your specific case always depends on the overall project.

Do you offer samples or prototypes before full production?

Yes — for series production, first samples and pilot runs are a standard step before full production begins. For project-based work, we coordinate this individually with you.

Are your products manufactured in Germany or the US?

Development and manufacturing take place in Germany, to our established quality standards. Our US team handles sales and technical support locally.

How long does development and delivery typically take?

It depends on the scope: if the application is already familiar to us, development can be ready within a few days. For completely new requirements with more coordination needed, it can take a few weeks.

What quality certifications do you hold?

We are certified to DIN ISO 9001.

Are spare parts available for older Amsbeck products?

Yes, wear part kits are also available for older Amsbeck products.

Do you provide engineering support for sizing and selection?

Yes, we support every inquiry with technical consulting on the right sizing. We see ourselves as problem solvers and work with you until we've found the best solution for your application.
