MANUFACTURING – We produce Trust

To ensure you and your products are ready for a great future, RAFI applies all the key technologies for HMI (human machine interface) and EMS (electronic manufacturing services). Our production methods meet high standards of both economy and ecology. That’s because we aim to guarantee defined quality standards at optimum profitability, economical use of natural resources, and high environmental compatibility. This is why almost all production is in-house on our state-of-the-art machines: SMT and THT assembly, plastic injection molding, metal processing, contact technology, printing, and component and system installation. We even manufacture our own touch sensors in Germany. RAFI offers you everything from a single source.
