Don’t just take our word for it - here’s what our customers say...

What really remains etched in our minds is the personal commitment of the project team.In each phase of the project, we felt that everyone involved was completely invested in it’s success. For us, this was the difference between just being a supplier and being a partner.

Boehringer Ingelheim

Festo worked from the early stages of the project, from basis of design to detailed design. Several options were put forward during the initial BOD, and once architecture was agreed, Festo supported us with pricing, bill of material and drawings. They also reached out to nominated suppliers globally to ensure the final design was adopted and delivered from one source.
