German Engineering

BUILT FOR WHEN IT MATTERS MOST

A Mitraset is seal-welded from 1.5–2.0 mm aircraft-grade aluminum, built to DIN EN 60297-3-100 and EIA-310-E, sealed to IP65 and held to MIL-STD-810 transport and environmental standards. ZARGES has been holding those tolerances in Germany since 1933.

Paint is applied in-house. Case bodies travel on an overhead conveyor through the spray booth and leave the line in their RAL or CARC color, finished in the same factory that welds the case, with no outside coater.
