Manufacturing & Logistics
Thinking proactively, thinking forward, being creative. This all goes without saying for the AFRISO team. The team comes up with possible solutions to „impossible“ challenges in a way which is flexible, cost-aware, on schedule and fast yet careful. Efficient project management, state-of-the-art production processes and quality policies that work ensure top-notch process reliability.
Depth of production
Tools and equipment making
The core of our flexibility. Development and design of the finished product as well as tool and equipment making are concentrated in a single department and can consequently be optimally aligned with one another. This allows us to create new developments, special designs and customised products rapidly and in a highly cost-effective way.
Plastic injection molding
A key to adaptability is the in-house plastic injection molding shop with more than 1,300 injection tools. Our machinery is state-of-the-art – also in terms of energy efficiency. OEM and standard products can thus be produced efficiently, demand-oriented and in a wide range of lot sizes.
Production
A high degree of vertical integration enables maximum flexibility and allows us to optimally meet customer requirements. Variable manufacturing structures allow to efficiently produce a large range of lot sizes. Manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic – in the production of AFRISO quality products we use every opportunity to obtain the best results. All production processes are optimised on an ongoing basis and are subject to all pertinent quality standards.

Logistics and service centre
With a storage and logistics area of more than 3,750 m2 and a storage capacity of over 3,500 bin locations, the logistics and service centre, which went into operation in 2021, offers sufficient space for current and future requirements.
Digitised processes
Consistent digitalisation ensures lean, efficient workflows and speeds up daily processes. The SAP ERP system that is used across the entire corporation serves as a basis for this. In conjunction with specifically developed warehouse software, a high-performance and future-oriented system and process environment was created that meets the most modern requirements. Warehouse terminals guide our employees through the logistics centre, and „pick-by-light“ supports order picking.
Distribution centre for national and international markets
Maximum availability, short delivery times. As a distribution centre, the new building is used to ship AFRISO products all over the world. It operates in dual-shift operation six day a week in order to fully meet the demands of national and international customers in terms of short and reliable delivery times. Our range comprises more than 25,000 products. More than 3,000 of them are on stock; a total of more than 1,600,000 individual devices are available from stock.
