Machine assembly can be outsourced to Centwerk: we build sub-assemblies and complete machines based on your drawings, covering both mechanical and electrical construction. For nearly 30 years, we have worked for machine builders, electrotechnical manufacturers and installation companies in the Netherlands and abroad. You can place individual orders or hand over an entire machine project from drawing to finished end product. Request a quote for your machine assembly and receive a price within 24 hours.
Machine assembly: what does it cover?
Machine assembly covers all work required to join individual parts into a functioning machine. We work from the drawings and bills of materials supplied by your engineering department. Our team handles both mechanical and electrical construction: mounting frames, housings and CNC-turned parts, cable assembly and connecting control units and sensors.
Projects vary considerably in size and scope. We build individual sub-assemblies that slot into your production line as a module, but also take on the complete build of a full machine. The machine you submit as a drawing leaves our workshop as a fully checked end product. This ensures that the machine assembly remains fully in line with the requirements laid down by your engineering department.
When is outsourcing machine assembly the right choice?
Outsourcing assembly work is the logical step for machine builders and manufacturers when no in-house assembly department is available, or when order pressure temporarily exceeds internal capacity. We take over the assembly work in full, with a dedicated contact who oversees your project from start to delivery.
Companies typically choose to outsource in the following situations:
- Peak demand that the in-house assembly department cannot handle
- New projects requiring specific technical knowledge or tooling not available internally
- Series production where outsourcing proves more cost-effective than expanding the workforce
- One-off or small series where hiring dedicated assembly staff is not economically viable
In our workshop or at your location?
We prefer to carry out machine assembly in our own workshop in Delft. There, we have all tools, measuring instruments and work instructions immediately to hand, and quality control is more tightly managed. Working in our own facility gives us more control over the process and results in a shorter lead time.
For larger machines that are difficult or impossible to transport, we assemble on-site at your premises or at your end customer’s location. Our team brings the necessary equipment and works according to your instructions and schedule. In both cases, you have one dedicated contact throughout the entire project.
How does Centwerk ensure the quality of your machine assembly?
Quality assurance for assembly projects starts with clear agreements, precise work instructions and a structured inspection of the end product. We are certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, the international standards for quality management and environmental management, ensuring that we work in a controlled and responsible manner.
You communicate with one dedicated contact throughout the entire project. All questions about progress, delivery time and pricing go through the same person, keeping communication clear and consistent. We work from your own drawings and requirements and record the outcome of every quality check per order.
What does outsourcing machine assembly cost?
Outsourcing does not carry a fixed rate. The price is determined by the size of the order, the type of work involved and the materials required. We apply separate rates for straightforward assembly work and for specialised assembly work, so you only pay for the level of expertise your project actually needs.
Our rates are competitive and we offer strong value for money. After submitting your request, you will receive a tailored quote within 24 hours, so you know exactly where you stand before placing the order.

Frequently asked questions about machine assembly
What documents do I need to request a quote?
To request a quote for machine assembly, it helps to have drawings, a bill of materials and the required quantities to hand. An indication of your desired delivery time is also useful. If you do not yet have complete documentation, send what you have along with a brief description. We will contact you for any missing details and can provide a preliminary price indication even on the basis of limited information.
Does Centwerk combine machine assembly with other services?
Outsourcing machine assembly to Centwerk can be combined with CNC turning, CNC milling and panel building. We can also handle the procurement of required parts and materials on your behalf. This means you work with one party for multiple steps in your production process, keeping communication straightforward and reducing lead times.
Which industries does Centwerk serve with machine assembly?
Centwerk carries out machine assembly for machine builders, electrotechnical manufacturers and installation companies, and deliberately does not focus on a single industry. Both small and large orders are welcome, and we work for companies in the Netherlands and abroad. The broad range of projects we handle means we bring knowledge from a wide variety of sectors to your project.
Is there a minimum order quantity or series size?
We do not apply a minimum order quantity for machine assembly. Small series and prototypes are just as welcome as larger production quantities. The quote is always tailored to the size of your order. From a single prototype to an ongoing production series: we provide an appropriate price for every order size.
How long does a machine assembly project take?
The lead time for a machine assembly project varies per order. The complexity of the machine, the quantities involved and the availability of materials together determine the timeframe. We discuss the lead time with you in advance and include it in the quote, so you can align your own planning accordingly and avoid unexpected delays.
