Datwyler’s interdisciplinary approach to customer solutions.
The approaches, methods and thought processes inherent in our many specialist subject areas have been brought together under the term “Interdisciplinary Cooperation”.
The interdisciplinary approach encompasses independent cross-departmental subject areas whose approaches to specialist knowledge are applied to answer questions, solve problems or develop products. In short, we bring together partial solutions into a successful whole.
To optimise this cross-departmental approach, Datwyler ensures that these individual methods are exchanged and communicated between departments, thus guaranteeing that the best possible solutions are reached.
This interdisciplinary team thinking is deployed throughout the product creation process for all products in prototyping and serial manufacture. Here, all members of the material development, construction, automation, engineering and purchasing departments work together on the solution for developing new products, or for reengineering existing ones.
To maximise the benefits of this process for our customers, Datwyler ensures that the following behaviours are observed throughout this process:
- A mutually beneficial collaboration between departments
- Reciprocal value and respect
- Adherence to commonly forged principles
- A robust cross-departmental team sprit
There is no holding back when involving expert external development partners in the process, or in subcontracting externally when necessary.
By maintaining an optimum level of interdepartmental communication and team-work, customer expectations and requirements can be respected and fulfilled in a timely manner.
Only with all departments working in collaboration can we can succeed in offering our customers the best possible solutions for their existing or new products.

Co-engineering with Datwyler Sealing Solutions.
Co-Engineering with Datwyler Sealing Solutions means: designing together with you, our customer.
And that’s what the term “Co” stands for. It means working with you and alongside you to incorporate our unique Datwyler process know-how into the design of your product from the very beginning of the development process.
Our objective is to guarantee a creation process for your product that is as cost-optimised and perfect as possible, and our experience and technical know-how ensure that we are ideally placed to produce your products quickly and expertly.
Our committed appreciation and understanding of the functions and applications of your products means we can assist you in determining their test criteria and functionality as fully as possible.
But it doesn’t stop there. By working with you on small adjustments to the design we can help you reduce the expenses of rework, and bring down materials and testing costs. Even your investment outlay can be cut.
The cost advantages that this process offers you are further enhanced by the optimisation of the production process itself. Your products can be run on faster and more efficient production cycles, meaning more production capacity is made available to you in our manufacturing sites.

Datwyler - setting a standard
Datwyler’s creation and deployment of a technical standard of exceptional rigour means that your products are designed and manufactured to a consistently outstanding level of quality.
This standard has not been dictated by a committee, but has taken shape over many years as a result of our extensive experience of the sequences and tolerances essential to tooling and producing your products. From this wealth of data and facts we have developed an industry-level standard that we see as the norm, but one which equally and naturally incorporates the ISO and DIN standards in general use.
We first began by setting down all the processes and operations vital to the creation of your products, from design and tooling through to prototyping and production. These steps were then standardised, incorporating all essential machinery, and resulting in a creation process not unlike that of a modular system.
Not only do standards shorten development, production and throughput time, they reduce the costs inherent in the process of manufacturing your products. Our commitment to these standards thus ensures that you can offer your end customers the best possible prices.
Our insights, experience and knowledge allow us to refine the creation process of your products on a continual basis. We ensure that all operators in each of our global facilities are trained to create your products to an identically high quality standard.
This standard, enshrined in the Datwyler Q handbooks, guarantees that your products are manufactured using the same robust, proven and uniform process steps in our facilities the world over. To your continued satisfaction.
