Focused on your objectives...
Global solutions you can build on...
Industry hates risk. And so do we.
So we work with you to eliminate cost, quality and
performance risks from your production lines.
We know that finding the best solution is about much
more than just picking a new tool.
That is why we start every project by opening our ears,
not our catalog.
Optimize
your investments
Raise
productivity
Process
optimization
Your production lines are some
of your company’s most important investments. The quality
and performance of Desoutter
industrial tool solutions enable
you to optimize your return on
investments by producing more
in the same cycle time. Our airline systems, for instance,
keep our pneumatic nutrunners spinning at exactly the
right speed and power, saving
you precious seconds for
each operation.
Good ergonomics makes good
economic sense. Not only are
Desoutter tools designed to
reduce operator stress factors,
such as vibration and noise, they
also take into account the
relationship between the operator, the tool and the process.
Our experts work with you
to obtain long-term gains in
productivity and safety, while
improving cost, quality and
cycle times.
Producing high-quality products
requires high-quality processes.
That is why many of the world’s
major motor vehicle, aerospace
and appliance manufacturers
rely on Desoutter. Each
Desoutter solution is tailored to
your exact needs. Our experts
propose solutions that deliver
a quantifiable return on
investment, whether in terms
of productivity improvements,
quality gains or safety improvements.
Increase
revenues
Production
transplantations
Production line efficiency is
worthless if the quality of your
final goods generates costly
recalls and after-sales support.
With our industrial tool solutions,
you produce consistently at high
quality levels. For example, our
tightening
control
units
enable you to error-proof
complex assembly tasks and
provide full traceability on
the quality and sequence of
operations.
We believe firmly in the adage:
“don’t reinvent the wheel”. Our
customer service teams are experts at replicating best
processes around the world.
When a major European car
maker wanted to duplicate a
highly efficient wheel assembly solution in two new
factories, it entrusted the
project to Desoutter. Deployed
in two factories to two very
different markets, the replicated
processes operate at the same
speed and with the same quality
as the original, despite sizeable
differences in operator expertise.
Worldwide
coverage
Desoutter combines global
reach with local expertise. To
ensure the smooth running of
Desoutter solutions in your
factories, all our local teams are
trained to the same high level of
expertise and service. Each
team is in direct contact with the
Desoutter area application and
customer care center for your
region. Together they ensure
that solutions are implemented to worldwide standards,
but in compliance with local
criteria.

Expertise you can grow on...
Peace of mind you can count on...
From vehicles to chemicals, appliances to metal,
planes to power, electronics to energy, ships to
buildings – there is a Desoutter air powered and
electric tool solution for you.
Our support services keep your processes operating
at maximum levels – and leave you to focus on your
core business.
Covering
all segments
Complete
systems
Maintenance
contracts
Proactive
logistics
Each Desoutter tool is designed
as a full system, complete with
its own accessories. Taking
a system-based approach has
a dramatic effect on the
productivity and longevity of
your investment. For example,
our airline systems regulate and
lubricate the air supply for
pneumatic tools. Air quality is
important, when you realize that
a drop of just 8% in air pressure
can slow drilling operations
by nearly 40% (2 seconds
per operation instead of 3.2
seconds).
Our maintenance contracts
make unexpected downtime a
thing of the past. They provide
budget predictability and fixed
price costs. Contracts are
tailored to your needs and are
available globally, regionally
or for individual plants. By
performing regular preventive
maintenance you will experience
less downtime and fewer emergency repairs. Maintenance
contracts also lower your
administrative and logistics
costs.
When your operations are
global, it is essential that your
logistics are too. Our centralized
inventory and warehousing
system is highly responsive. We
proactively manage our production to ensure a reliable supply of
the products and parts you need.
The majority of the solutions
in our catalog can be shipped
to you in three days, no matter
where you are located. Next-day
service is available in many
markets.
Motor vehicle industry
Desoutter provides a wide
range of tool solutions for vehicle
makers, tier one suppliers and

Installation & set-up
Get new tools up and running faster
with our installation and set-up
services. A qualified Desoutter
service engineer commissions new
tools to specification. To save time,
tools are optimized through simulation before they are shipped out for
installation. They are then tested and
their performance verified on-line.
Based on application and joint
analysis, the engineer tunes each tool
for maximum reliability. Depending on
the customer's need, our engineers
can then provide a follow up of the
production during the ramp up and
final line speed. This ensures that
the highest tightening capability is
achieved at mass production levels.
