People in Minifaber
At Minifaber, our success stems from the strength of our team: a young, dynamic, and highly qualified group that combines freshness and experience to meet industry challenges with energy, creativity, and innovation.
Working with the client begins with our sales team, which collects inquiries and investigates specific needs. Next, the Project Leader team enters the scene: technical figures who assess the feasibility of the product, analyze the production cycle, and identify the most suitable technologies, leveraging Minifaber's established experience. At this stage, Project Leaders also engage with the customer to propose innovative solutions and material alternatives, improving product performance.
Teamwork involves all internal areas: technical department, research and development, time and motion, design-to-production, quality, purchasing, and the production departments, where our specific know-how resides. We also collaborate with external partners, such as suppliers, research centers, and universities, to ensure cutting-edge solutions.
The customer is supported during the sampling and prototyping stages, which are crucial for product development. This is possible thanks to our advanced technologies and Minifaber's specialized skills. The engineering department is in charge of the study of dies and tooling, while the tooling department is in charge of their construction and maintenance. The Time&Motion and Design-to-Production team optimizes the work cycle, defining the best methods in terms of efficiency, ergonomics, and tools to ensure smooth production.
Once the product goes into mass production, customer service takes over the customer’s day-to-day management, from order entry to delivery, ensuring that requests are fully met.
All other departments, such as production planning, purchasing, logistics, and production departments, are involved in the efficient realization of the product, supported by the quality team to ensure compliance with standards and the maintenance team to keep the machines running properly. Complementing our structure are teams dedicated to key functions such as administration, finance & control, information systems, health, safety & environment, and human resources, contributing to the smooth operation of the entire production process.
