Integrated value creation
Everything from one source
The standardized value creation process at KEBA starts with consulting for hardware and software and ranges from system design and architecture to a maximum depth of development. This consistency is continued in the production that does more than comply with the highest quality demands. It also ensures the greatest possible flexibility and not least for higher cost efficiency.
The intensive cooperation of departments from the very start is another success factor in our value creation chain. In this way, we connect the experiences and expertise of other industries, find analogies, and use them in our development partnerships. -
