Manufacture of the
SPITFIRE 3
The SPITFIRE 3 is manufactured by
SWING using the most modern
machines and processing techniques.
A precise quality control is carried out
after each processing step. This quality
control naturally also includes the
incoming inspection of the materials
used. In this way we try to exclude
material defects and can trace the
exact origin of all materials used.
