A peek into HMS production in Halmstad and York

Our production philosophy

At our custom-built facilities in Halmstad. Sweden and York, Pennsylvania, we develop and manufacture products according to the high demands of our customers.

Surface mounting of components and box building in high volumes is carried out by sub-constructors (EMS) in Eastern Europe and Asia. This flexibility allows us to handle one-off orders as well as large orders by the thousands.

Usability

At HMS, we keep a record of any returns/broken products and test the conditions that caused these errors. With millions of products successfully delivered, HMS has been a source of quality products for years with a guarantee to resolve defects in material, design, or manufacture free of charge.

Testing

Other companies might achieve matching compliance levels, but we go beyond this. By having a testing lab during the design process allows quick turnaround, testing for customer requests, and more product updates. The tests are not just done when the product is being prepared for a release but throughout the designing process.

Quality

HMS customers require high-quality products that are easy to install and use for a long period of time. HMS is able to meet these requirements because we have full control over the entire value chain, from product development, component supply and manufacturing, to distribution, sales, training and after-sales service.
