FREI FÖRDERTECHNIK AG
YOUR GENERAL CONTRACTOR
Tailor-made solutions, experience, expertise and meticulous planning are the cornerstones for the success of the projects.
An accurate flow chart is drawn up for the planning of each system. In this step, all the customer's specifications are integrated, and machines and components are combined accordingly.
We take on projects as a general contractor and are therefore responsible for all concerns with respect to the client. This has great advantages for both sides. The customer has a single contact partner for everything: we are responsible for ensuring that everything runs smoothly, from project planning to start of production and even after commissioning.
