Co-engineering: working together towards the optimal outcome

At Mifa, co-engineering results in the highest quality, sustainability, and an optimal end product.

What is co-engineering?

Co-engineering is a process where two or more parties collaborate to design, develop, or improve a product.

An optimal product through co-engineering at Mifa: from the design phase, our engineers provide advice during the development of your custom profile, component, or product. Our expertise in precision extrusion, surface treatments, and other techniques goes in-depth. Below, you’ll find what our engineers can do for you and what co-engineering can yield.

Co-engineering at Mifa: sustainable solutions in every step of the proces

Selecting the appropriate aluminium alloy, thinner wall thicknesses, saving CO2-emissions: some of the many choices our engineers can help you with. Customers have the freedom to submit their own designs, however, we also encourage collaboration through co-engineering. This partnership can result in a product with enhanced effiency, quality and refinement. In summary, these are the benefits of co-engineering at Mifa:

  • A refined profile or component
  • Optimal results
  • Faster time-to-market
  • Lower costs for an efficient design
  • Single-party responsbility

As a leading aluminium precision extrusion company, with 50 years of experience in various markets, we can offer sustainable, cost effective, solutions in every step of the proces:

Co-engineer with our experts during a masterclass!

We offer masterclasses on precision extrusion – Rely on the power of precision – during which our experts tell you more about the specifics of Mifa’s techniques. The program of the masterclass consists of knowledge sessions in the field of aluminium precision extrusion, the extrusion process, and surface treatments. Sustainability is also covered, as it currently plays a crucial role in our production process, and we would like to assist you in improving your ecological footprint.
