Our key skill: Chrome from Jumbo-Fischer

Jumbo-Fischer was instructed to develop unique components and was allowed to draw on unlimited resources. The specials: 1. chromed stainless steel of all kinds, based on 25 years experience, was intergegrated. But unsurpassable will always be real chrome. We took it as a new challenge and so all visible parts consisted not only of polished stainless steel - they were also chromed. Unique how the surface refelcts and in addition to that chrome is a non corroding base material. 2. Chrome & LED. An important component of the chromefinishing is also the integration of light concepts. Again we could revert to our experience so that we developed attachment parts which embedded the LED lights in the entire visiul appearance.

All lights are from Hella.
