Range encompasses single component PCB mounted heatsinks through to high-performance fan-cooled heatsink assemblies and liquid coolers.
With improvements in efficiency and quality, spare capacity has become available which Schaffner is now able to share with other manufacturers.
"This facility would be ideal for a small or medium sized domestic manufacturer who would like to reduce production costs but doesn't have the volume to justify their own manufacturing plant or joint venture".
"They can just buy-in to our existing, proven factory and only have to deal with Schaffner in Europe, which simplifies co-operation considerably", says Andy Kotas, Schaffner's Marketing Manager.
Schaffner can offer potential users of this service electrical and mechanical assembly and test for a wide product range such as cable harnesses and assembly tasks including purchasing and logistics.
The company also offers the possibility for plastic injection moulding and to shift complete production lines to Thailand.
The facility fulfils compliance with quality standards ISO9001:2000 and the automotive quality standard ISO/TS16949:2002, along with environmental compliance to ISO14001:1996.
"To make this service viable", continues Kotas, "we are looking for production runs of more than 10,000 units per year with a value above GBP 5000".
"We believe this will be a very useful service to any manufacturer with an existing product being produced in the UK who would like to reduce manufacturing costs without the need to do the extensive research and evaluation required to find an offshore partner".
