The Gold-Plated Assignment: Contact Pins for the Vorwerk Thermomix
The Thermomix by Vorwerk is renowned as one of the most advanced and high-end kitchen appliances on the market. Behind its sleek design and multifunctional capabilities lies a complex engineering ecosystem—one that depends on absolute precision in every component.
So when our customer—who supplies a key assembly partner for the Thermomix—was searching for a manufacturer to mass produce the contact pins used in this premium appliance, they turned to Gebrema.
A High-Value Component That Demands Perfection
Though small in size, these brass contact pins play a critical role in the reliable functioning of the Thermomix. After production, each pin is gold-plated by an external specialist—an operation that significantly increases its value. This additional step elevates the importance of getting the manufacturing right the first time.
Any dimensional deviation, surface flaw, or inconsistency would compromise both the plating process and the functionality of the final product—an unacceptable risk in such a high-precision, high-value environment.
Why Gebrema Was the Right Fit
With our decades of expertise in high-volume brass turning and our uncompromising quality control, we were perfectly positioned to take on the challenge. Our team understood that this was more than just a machining job—it was a precision-critical assignment that would be part of a flagship product sold across the world.
Here’s what we brought to the table:
Consistent dimensional accuracy across large volumes, batch after batch
Exceptional surface quality, critical for post-machining gold plating
A seamless ramp-up process that allowed our customer to align with the assembly schedules of their client
Reliable Dutch manufacturing, ensuring predictable lead times and traceable quality
