Globalization poses major challenges for production, such as increased competitive pressure and greater demands for product customization, coupled with ever-shorter delivery times. This particularly affects assembly. To increase their competitiveness, companies often relocate production to countries with very low labor costs.
In most cases, cost reduction is the primary focus for profit maximization. Secondarily, compromises in quality and product availability are accepted. As a result, internal resources and reserves that could be improved through streamlining existing production processes are often underutilized.
Since the 1990s, reshoring has seen a growing number of companies relocate production capacity from low-wage countries like China. The focus has been on optimizing recurring processes through automation, thereby reducing the advantages of readily available, cheap labor in other countries.
Besides the reduced personnel costs due to automation, domestic manufacturing offers many advantages, including direct contact, short distances, highly qualified personnel and the absence of language barriers, to name just a few.
The expansion of intralogistics, the switch to efficient and resource-saving intermediate storage facilities, optimizations in the supply chain and the ever-increasing awareness of an environmentally friendly corporate policy were decisive factors in this.
For this reason, companies from such diverse sectors as electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or the consumer goods industry have once again begun to expand their capacities in this country or even to open new plants and locations.

High-quality mounting systems for photovoltaic (PV) systems must therefore exhibit the following properties nowadays:
- Use of high-quality materials
- Particularly resilient
- Durable and reliable (guarantee)
- Easy construction
Another aspect that should not be overlooked is the service, goodwill gestures, and the company's approach to mistakes – how quickly and efficiently the company resolves such issues.
Comparing the different solar mounting systems, most of them are of high quality and durable.
However, there are significant differences in the warranty period, and the definition of "easy assembly" always depends on the viewpoint.
- No training time required? The solar mounting system is self-explanatory?
- How many tools are needed? Is it a click system?
- Is the assembly technique time-saving overall? Is the system delivered pre-assembled?
What speaks in favor of T.Werk:
- All solar mounting systems are manufactured at T.Werk in Germany, in Ellzee, Bavaria.
- T.Werk's assembly systems have 50% shorter assembly times compared to similar assembly systems.
- 12-year warranty on all components.
- 90 percent pre-assembled.
- Plug-in pin technology instead of screw connections.
Gold medal for T.Werk
It is therefore no coincidence that the TRITON flat roof mounting system from T.Werk GmbH received the gold medal in this category. This prestigious award is given only to products that meet legal criteria and are positively evaluated by a professional jury. The competition jury, a team of leading specialists from relevant economic sectors, seeks modern, innovative products manufactured using cutting-edge technologies. The MTP gold medal is thus a confirmation of product quality and an element of market presence.
