Zilken ensures process reliability. From the bill of materials to the ready-to-assemble kit, we handle procurement, order picking, and quality control.
For a single assembly, purchasing departments often coordinate with up to 15 suppliers. That means 15 inquiries, 15 orders, and 15 invoices. If a part is missing or arrives late, the entire assembly process comes to a standstill. Zilken consolidates procurement and handles bill of materials management: a single point of contact sources all components, inspects each one, and delivers a complete set.
Zilken works with industrial companies that have complex assemblies and critical supply chains. For example, in high-voltage technology, mechanical engineering, and infrastructure.
In industrial procurement, problems arise at four key touchpoints: purchasing, warehousing, production, and quality assurance. In traditional procurement models, these areas often operate in isolation. Kit management brings them together.
You provide us with your bill of materials. Zilken handles the global procurement of all components and manages the entire process. You work with a single point of contact instead of multiple suppliers.

We assemble all components, test them, and package them according to your specifications. Labeling and packaging are customized to meet your needs.
Zilken picks the components in the order they are to be installed. Your technicians can install them immediately, without having to search for parts, sort them, or waste time.
We perform simple pre-manufacturing steps and deliver semi-finished products that are precisely cut to fit your production process.
HSP Hochspannungsgeräte GmbH manufactures complex high-voltage systems. To source the components for its assemblies, the company needed a comprehensive, on-time solution that did not require additional procurement effort. Zilken took over the entire bill of materials management, procured all components, and delivered ready-to-assemble kits that were fully tested and customized to the customer’s specifications.
Every set is thoroughly inspected before shipment. Missing parts are identified before they cause production downtime.
Zilken delivers kits directly to the point of use: to the factory floor, the production line, or the construction site. Learn more about our logistics services
Many suppliers deliver individual components. Zilken consolidates the entire procurement process and delivers complete sets. This reduces the workload for purchasing, prevents excess inventory, and eases the burden on production. Your skilled workers can focus directly on assembly instead of searching for or sorting parts. Every set is fully inspected and available on time. This prevents missing parts and production downtime.
Assembly involves putting together and packaging individual components according to specifications. An assembly kit goes one step further: the parts are picked in the order they are to be assembled, fully inspected, and prepared for immediate installation.
Kit management is suitable for all industries in which assemblies consisting of multiple components are assembled. These include mechanical and plant engineering, the energy sector, the chemical industry, railway infrastructure, and the construction industry. It is particularly relevant in situations involving high production rates or where downtime results in high costs.
You can submit your bills of materials in common formats such as Excel, ERP export, or PDF. During our initial consultation, we’ll determine which format and process best suits your infrastructure.
Yes, this is precisely where kit management proves its worth. In the Maintenance, Repair & Operations (MRO) sector, service technicians, local branches, and external partners worldwide need quick access to the right replacement and wear parts. Zilken ensures that complete, tested sets are available even for smaller production runs, so that local teams are ready to go immediately without having to go through the hassle of procuring parts themselves.
There is no minimum quantity. Kit management is particularly cost-effective for recurring assemblies, complex bills of materials, or in any situation where a single missing part results in high follow-up costs.
Yes. Every set is checked for completeness before shipping. Zilken identifies any defective or incomplete deliveries before they interfere with your installation.
Reduce the complexity of your bills of materials and avoid downtime caused by missing parts. Zilken ensures complete, verified sets and streamlined processes in purchasing and assembly. Kitting and sets are part of our comprehensive logistics services for industrial supplies.
