For over 200 years, the family of Wilhelm Schweizer in Diessen, Germany, has kept alive the tradition of creating pewter figurines and collectibles. For over 20 years the company that bears his name, Wilhelm Schweizer Zinnmanufaktur GmbH, has been using 4D for business. The in-house solution was initially developed to calculate the painting of pewter figurines, and it has since grown into a server application managing most oft the manufacturing process, including employee management, production planning, customer service, order processing and materials handling.
