Network
Because standard is not our claim
We want to achieve more for you – by covering a broader range of topics and knowledge. For this purpose, we have established a network that has grown since the founding of Krehl & Partner. This puts us in a position to carry out projects even more flexible, complex and above all effective.
In addition to the cooperations listed here, we are also involved in various associations. From a practical point of view, this means that we not only have our thumb on the pulse of the times, but through contacts with chairs, professors and scientific areas we can also address topics that could be the content of future projects and could also be of interest to you.

The result is the fast and verifiable reduction of procurement costs.
Pforzheim University is characterized by its strong interdisciplinary orientation.

Due to this cooperation Krehl & Partner has quick access to the latest scientific findings and can implement them in a practice-oriented way for each customer, adapted to his specific requirements. Thus, our customers are always up to date.
NWIS has been successfully offering solutions for VA/VE/VM, project management and individual-based software solutions worldwide since 1998.

Together with OTT engineering, Krehl & Partner is expanding its range of services to include conception, design and rapid prototyping. Our customers benefit from our profound knowledge in the areas of product development, mechatronic systems, additive manufacturing and robotics.

Krehl & Partner is therefore well prepared for customers who already use agile procedures in product development or want to introduce them.
Krehl & Partner and robomotion, this describes a successful partnership for more than 10 years. The cooperation enables Krehl & Partner on the one hand to bring in profound technical expertise in any rationalisation task with automation scope into the projects and on the other hand to implement the rationalisation concepts developed from it as a turnkey solution for our customers. Robomotion is able to design, simulate and design the complete plant technology and manufacture it in its own production halls until acceptance by the customer. Krehl & Partner ensures with supporting project management that the goals of the concept work are achieved and proven.
When designing and developing innovative products, such as a processing machine with integrated robot for tool and part handling, Krehl & Partner often integrates the competence of robomotion very early in its product development projects. With the practised cooperation we are therefore able to bring advantageous products for our customers to the market in a short time and with high technical maturity.
Prof. Dr. Martin Selchert is specialized in questions of innovation, strategy and market-oriented management. We work with him if technical and business expertise is required.

Our joint services are upstream and downstream of the re-engineering of the product in the process.
