Globalization poses major challenges for production, such as greater competitive pressure or greater demands for individualization of products, with ever shorter desired delivery times. This has a particular impact on assembly. In order to increase their own competitiveness, production is often relocated to countries with very low labor costs.
The focus is usually on reducing costs to maximize profits. Secondarily, you accept a loss in quality and the security of product availability. The internal resources and reserves that lie in improving existing production processes are often not utilized.
Since the 1990s, as part of reshoring, more and more companies have begun to withdraw production capacity from low-wage countries such as China. The focus was on optimizing recurring processes through automation in order to reduce the advantages of cheaply available labor in other countries.
In addition to the reduced personnel costs due to automation, domestic production has many advantages, with direct contact, short distances, highly qualified personnel and a lack of language barriers being just a selection of them.
The expansion of intralogistics, the switch to efficient and resource-saving interim storage facilities, optimizations in the supply chain and the ever-increasing awareness of an environmentally friendly company policy were crucial for this.
For this reason, companies from sectors as diverse as electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and the consumer goods industry have now started to expand their capacities in this country or even open new plants and locations.

High-quality mounting systems for photovoltaic systems (PV) must now have the following properties:
- Use of high-quality materials
- Particularly resilient
- Durable and reliable (guarantee)
- Easy construction
Another aspect that should not be ignored is the service, the goodwill services and the error culture, i.e. how the company solves such things quickly and unbureaucratically.
If you compare the different solar mounting systems, they are usually all of high quality and resilient.
However, there are big differences in the warranty period and the definition of “easy installation” always depends on the perspective of the observer.
- No training period necessary? The solar mounting system is self-explanatory?
- How many tools are needed? Is it a click system?
- Is the assembly technology overall time-saving? Is the system delivered pre-assembled?
What speaks for 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 than comparable assembly systems.
- 12 year guarantee on all components.
- 90 percent pre-assembled.
- Socket bolt technology instead of screw connections.
