Manufacturing as a service
Looking to outsource your manufacturing?
At APL Manufacturing we can coordinate all your manufacturing needs. We perform all assembly, QA, testing and packaging at our production facility in Gjøvik, and utilise our global network of manufacturing partners for component production.
We are experienced in assembling complex, electro-mechanical products. We typically cater for volumes in the range of 10 – 10 000 units/yr and are set up best for products <1x1x1m and <100kg.
Local assembly has many advantages - it is often more cost effective, it allows you to work closely with us, to see your products, and to resolve any issues efficiently.
