Specialists for problem-solving strategies

Small springs, big impact. Inconspicuously hidden inside, technical springs are an integral part of everyday life. They make engines run, aeroplanes fly, electrical appliances work and cupboard doors close. And these little all-rounders can do much more: hold, clamp, press and make contact: A spring is the perfect connection solution and is cheaper and faster than a screw.

 

What may not seem very spectacular on the surface may turn out to be the solution to a highly complex problem on closer inspection. At Mario Schaaf Technische Federn, more than ten years of experience in problem-solving expertise is combined with a passion for unusual designs and the unconditional goal of finding the optimum solution.
