When choosing a gas spring, quality, durability, and adaptability are critical factors, especially in the B2B market. In this article, we compare our Brimotech stainless steel 316 gas springs with those from Protempo. What are the differences, and why are more customers choosing Brimotech?
Material and durability
The Brimotech stainless steel 316 gas spring stands out for its use of premium-grade stainless steel 316, renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance. This makes our gas springs ideal for use in humid or aggressive environments, such as the maritime industry and food processing.
Protempo also offers stainless steel gas springs, but they primarily use stainless steel 304. While stainless steel 304 is suitable for many applications, it provides less resistance to corrosive elements compared to stainless steel 316. For customers seeking maximum durability, Brimotech offers a clear advantage.
Custom solutions
At Brimotech, we understand that every application is unique. That’s why we offer fully customized gas springs. With our 3D engineering and close collaboration with clients, we deliver precise solutions tailored to specific requirements. This level of customization has proven essential in industries such as yacht building, where precision and quality are paramount.
Protempo focuses more on standard products. While sufficient for some applications, the lack of customization can be a limitation for companies with unique needs.
Production and quality assurance
Our production takes place in Europe and adheres to the highest quality standards, including ISO 9001 certification. This ensures our clients can rely on consistent and dependable products. Additionally, European production offers shorter lead times and a lower environmental footprint.
Protempo, on the other hand, sources many of their products from Asian manufacturing facilities. While this often reduces costs, it can impact lead times and quality control.
Value for the customer
B2B clients value our expertise and customer-focused service. Our experts are ready to guide clients through selecting the right solution, from design phase support to after-sales care. At Brimotech, we aim to build lasting partnerships.
Success stories, such as the implementation of custom gas springs in bicycle parking systems and retractable awnings, highlight our strength in delivering durable and efficient solutions. Clients report significant cost savings due to the longer lifespan of our products and reduced maintenance requirements.
