Core competence in development, design and production

From the idea to the product

Valves and fluidic components for analytical and medical devices

Our core competence is customer-specific application development and individual adaptation of technically sophisticated components and efficient production. We can build on decades of system and development expertise as well as extensive production experience. Almost 100% of our solutions are customer-specific developments or individual product adaptations.

Take advantage of our profound expertise and enthusiasm for medical technology. Together with you, we work out the optimum specification, create a concept that meets your requirements and develop your project in time to market.

Product development

RAPA has its own research and development department with more than 150 development and design engineers working in various specialist areas. Each area is staffed by selected experts who have extensive experience and know-how in terms of technology and industry requirements. RAPA also has its own extensive laboratory, simulation and validation facilities, which are used for intensive testing and validation in the product development process and for the creation of prototypes.

Process development and plant engineering

It’s good to know that RAPA not only manufactures high-tech components and innovative solutions, but also the production systems – from manual workstations to fully automated production lines. RAPA realizes the individual production process for every requirement.
This includes the development, manufacture and procurement of state-of-the-art systems.

Manufacturing, assembly and series production

We prefer to produce in series. Series production takes place in modern production halls with a total area of an impressive 13,500 square meters, making it possible to implement a wide range of production orders to the highest quality. From the first pilot series to established series production, we rely on innovative technologies and proven processes to meet our customers’ requirements in the best possible way.

State-of-the-art technology and precision for first-class series production
– Standardized machinery with state-of-the-art technology
– Highly automated production lines
– Use of robotics
– Component assembly at validated assembly workstations
– 100% EOL tests (end-of-line) for maximum quality control
