Romer Omega bras de mesure portable aide la société Krayer GmbH à atteindre la conformité ISO9001, assurant la globalisation de ses produits
Le pittoresque lac de Constance, situé au bord de la région alpine d’Allemagne, d’Autriche et de Suisse est la toile de fond de la société Krayer GmbH. Riche d’une longue histoire, la PME d’une cinquantaine d’employés, Krayer est spécialisée dans la production de formes 3D en tôle. C’est en effet en 1884 que Franz-Joseph Krayer fonda sa modeste usine dans la ville de Langenargen au bord du lac. Bravant les deux guerres mondiales et l’hyperinflation de l’entreguerre, Krayer s’est vu confisquer tout son équipement d’emboutissage par les forces alliées juste après 1945. Malgré tout, la société s’est reprise, a su recommencer depuis le début et se développer.
