Kitting & Assembly and Co-Packing

Enquire about co-packing ↓

Delivered components need to become an approved sales unit, a stocked display or a campaign ready for dispatch. PROWERB combines the bill of materials, assembly or packaging, finishing, inspection and inventory booking. Quantity, manual operations and material determine the appropriate line.

Index 01 · Starting point

Three articles become one. That's exactly where many lose track of inventory.

Co-packing is first a booking problem: a set is a new article. Anyone turning three components into one sales unit has to book three withdrawals and one addition — otherwise inventory only checks out on paper. When goods leave the warehouse for a contract packer, they become a set there and come back.

Inventory is blind between the handovers. PROWERB does kitting & assembly within its own warehouse operations: goods stay in-house; withdrawal of components and addition of the finished set run through bill-of-materials and value-added processes in the WMS — booking-consistent, in real time, RFID-capable.

Index 02 · Service

Product add-ons, displays, sample packs — kitted and assembled where they're also stored and dispatched.

PROWERB handles the complete kitting & assembly chain: from the bill of materials through production to distribution. Warehouse, kitting & assembly and dispatch sit within the same operation — no detour via a second facility.

01Sets and product add-onsCampaign sets, add-ons, mixed crates: kitted and assembled to order, from small batches to large campaigns — for campaigns ranging from a small add-on to full-truckload size.
02Co-packing and display assembly →Unfolding, stocking, checking and palletizing displays. Flat-delivered displays run through fishbone inflow before being stocked onto the line.
03Sample packs and sweepstakes setsSample packs for retail and hospitality, prize and winner packages for end customers — kitted and assembled and dispatched directly from the same warehouse.
04Finishing in the same flowWhen components need finishing first: flocking, transfer printing, embroidery, screen printing and direct-to-garment printing run in-house — bulk apparel printing on transfer presses in a row.
05Special goods and cartonageGlass, bulky goods such as umbrellas, handling of goods including alcoholic beverages. On request, cartonage design for the set is part of the service.

Index 03 · Operating paths

Permanent assortment or one-off campaign — kitting & assembly runs on two lines here.

Ongoing orders can be handled within the fulfilment flow; scheduled campaigns are prepared on an appropriate campaign line. Co-packing includes packaging work, product inserts and display stocking as well as kits. Throughput and changeover are planned for the bill of materials, materials and inspection scope.

01Within the fulfillment flow · VALUEOrder-based kitting & assembly at modular cells in a goods-to-person model. The VAS order hangs directly off the fulfillment order: picking, kitting & assembly, packing — without the goods ever leaving the system. Designed for repeat accuracy with permanent assortments, with gapless system integration from the online shop through to production.
02On the campaign line · MOTIONOne-off campaigns with 1 to 15,000 assemblies per day, changed over in under three hours. During peaks, capacity scales via the flex-staff pool and shift extension to 200 percent of baseline capacity within 24 hours, to 400 percent of baseline capacity within 72 hours. Since 2026, PROWERB PROMOTION adds autonomous cobots to the line with direct MEP integration.
Index 04 · Process

Six steps from the bill of materials to Ready 2 Go.

The process is documented and starts with data, not goods — so the line is ready before the first pallet arrives.

  1. 01 · Bill of materials and data

    The set is set up as a bill of materials in the system. Shipment lists and delivery notifications arrive via the online tool, the MEP platform, or SFTP file transfer.

  2. 02 · Goods receipt

    Components come from existing inventory or arrive just in time for the campaign. Every addition is booked in at goods receipt.

  3. 03 · Setup and release

    Staff scheduling and setup in under three hours. Process engineering verifies the setup, the production-readiness check clears the line.

  4. 04 · Kitting & assembly

    Kitting sets, stocking displays, co-packing — at modular cells or on the campaign line, depending on the order.

  5. 05 · Inspection and labeling

    Final inspection and labeling. Every unit is checked before moving into staging.

  6. 06 · Booking and distribution

    The finished set enters inventory as its own article, distribution to retail, hospitality or end customers begins — track & trace and inventory development in the Operations Cockpit, around the clock.

Index 05 · Evidence
Kitting & assembly is proven by campaigns that were on the shelf.

Kitting & assembly is proven by campaigns that were on the shelf.

The densest cadence is in the beverage sector — there, kitting & assembly is often the core of the partnership. These peak figures refer to baseline output: 200% is double, 400% is fourfold (+300%). Achievable volume and lead time are agreed for the item mix, goods and data availability, staffing and shift plan.

Questions about kitting & assembly and co-packing

What does kitting & assembly and co-packing at PROWERB cover?

Sets, product add-ons, mixed crates, sample packs, display stocking and prize packages — from order-based kitting & assembly within ongoing fulfillment to large campaigns on the campaign line, including distribution to retail, hospitality and end customers.

What volumes are possible?

The campaign line is designed for 1 to 15,000 assemblies per day. During peaks, capacity scales to 200 percent of baseline capacity within 24 hours and to 400 percent of baseline capacity within 72 hours — via the flex-staff pool and shift extension.

How is inventory managed during kitting & assembly?

Via bill-of-materials and value-added processes in PROWERB CORE, the proprietary ERP and WMS: withdrawal of components and addition of the finished set are booked in real time, RFID-capable and gapless.

Do the goods have to be stored with you for this?

No. Components come either from existing inventory or just in time for the campaign — shipment lists and delivery notifications are imported in advance via the online tool or the MEP platform.

Do you also handle finishing of the components?

Yes. Flocking, transfer printing, embroidery, screen printing and direct-to-garment printing run in-house, with bulk apparel printing on transfer presses in a row. For Arizona, PROWERB sometimes also handles procurement of the textiles.

How fast is a kitting & assembly line ready?

The changeover time for a campaign switch is under three hours. Before the start, process engineering verifies the setup, and the production-readiness check clears the line.
