A manufacturer of pharmaceutical packaging machines required a CNC programming partner capable of working directly inside their production environment — not alongside it. The machined components of pharmaceutical packaging equipment operate within tight dimensional tolerances, and any deviation in an NC program has direct consequences for part quality on a validated production line. The client’s internal standards were well defined and non-negotiable. What was needed was a team that could absorb those standards completely and maintain them consistently over time.
Before the first program was written, the GFE team lead spent over a month at the client’s manufacturing facility. During that period it was possible to observe the full production cycle first-hand — from planning and blank material ordering, through tool preparation and machining, to final quality control. This direct exposure to the production environment informed every programming decision that followed. Programs are written in SolidCAM and validated in Vericut before reaching the machine. All work is delivered through the client’s own file structure, naming conventions, and revision control process. The team adapted entirely to the client’s working methods — the client’s internal workflows did not change.

in-client-system delivery
We need partners who guarantee quality regardless of external circumstances. GFE delivered on time, without compromise.
Programs are written and validated inside the client’s own CAM environment — using their software, file structure, and naming conventions. No separate system, no format conversion.
Each project is handled by programmers with direct experience on the relevant platform — Siemens NX, SolidCAM, Mastercam, or STUDER.
All programs are collision-checked and validated in Vericut before reaching the machine. This eliminates first-part scrap and reduces setup time on the shop floor.
All team members communicate in English. Senior programmers also speak German, enabling direct coordination with production and quality departments at client facilities in DACH.

Our customers
Our company produces safety-relevant welding assemblies for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
Due to the fact that it has become increasingly difficult to find good engineers and designers for our design department at our location in rural Münsterland, we set out at the end of 2018 to look for new external solutions in the service market.
I really appreciate GFE’s flexibility and openness for new challenges. They are not afraid to start a new journey.
If I think about the external circumstances of the project we started together, we reached a learning curve and relating results that I did personally not expect.
We required additional capacity and professional support for our R&D Team especially for a new product development.
And GFE Solutions offers capable support by very well-educated engineers. High professionalism. On time delivery and great communication (native German speakers).
We are the company in constant need for plants for research or pilot projects of our clients. Last year we were working over the order in the field of medical technologies, which we succeeded to realize, including thanks to efforts of GFE Solutions team.
We were in need of help with our design department ressources and we had to move fast, internal ressources were not available and GFE was able to help quickly and competent. GFE works with dedication to the very needs of its customers, has a variety of specialists and has offered a fair price on a transparent basis.
We were looking for additional engineers to expand our construction capacity. You seemed to be a young, motivated Team and except your professional expertise, your personal commitment made me confident to work with you. The cooperation has been seamless and very productive from the start. We are happy with the results.
GFE Solutions is a specialized engineering services company. Our engineers are mainly from Eastern Europe – to our customers we offer onsite- and offsite-engineering-services. All our specialists speak and write fluently English, some of them German and other languages.
