Manufacturing precision parts under control

ICE projects

Our machines for electronics, such as connector pressing, automated soldering, and printed circuit board assembly, place extraordinary demands not only on precision but also on the competencies of our people.


Due to the supply of special technologies and parts for precision mechanics, we have expanded our subcontractor base with additional verified partner companies. Often, these involved parts for machines handling materials of minute dimensions and/or requiring special technologies for the assembly of manufactured parts, special materials, and surface treatments. 

In 2023, this expansion significantly increased our  know-how, enabling us to supply machines that I jokingly call "sewing machines." If someone had told me ten years ago that we would be capable of manufacturing, assembling, and commissioning such machines to the satisfaction of our customers, I would not have believed them. For me, the greatest reward is seeing the company's progress: from initial deliveries of only electrical components of projects, through simpler complete machines, to complex lines, and f inally to the machines we supply today. 

We have expanded our metalworking shop and worked throughout the year on standardising processes, which has resulted in higher-quality parts. Additionally, manufacturing in-house has become more efficient, allowing us to respond quicker to changes, not only in our projects but also in our clientele as we gain new customers. We are proud of our in-house production and are committed to its further development. 

Similarly, we will continue to develop the production of switchboards for our projects, where we have stabilised the production team. The motivation is the same as for the production of mechanical parts, intending to have the highest possible share of production in-house. 

Precision manufacturing would be pointless without people capable of assembling and fine-tuning these complex parts into functional units. I am pleased that we have strengthened our installation team with several skilled mechanics who, together with other technicians from various teams, have breathed life into numerous complex machines and lines.

Our continuous improvement efforts across the company persist, primarily through standardisation. This approach aims to eliminate errors, speed up and streamline the design of our machines and production lines, and make optimal use of inventory. 

"I would like to thank all the people who form the heart of ICE. They are open to cross-team collaboration, unafraid of change, and passionate about technology. Thanks to the dedication of our people and a welldeveloped process system, we can ensure the high quality of our machines, which is the main reason our customers return to us."
