Inside Schwarze Industries: How Street Sweepers Are Manufactured

From Munro Live.

Throughout the manufacturing process, Schwarze has shown a strong commitment to cost optimization and operational efficiency. A major source of savings has come from re-evaluating their make-versus-buy decisions across critical components.

Working alongside Munro, the teams conducted a detailed review of the cost structures for several key parts, uncovering opportunities to either source components more economically or shift production in-house. The exercise underscored the value of regularly revisiting these decisions, especially as market conditions, supplier pricing, and internal capabilities evolve.

By taking a proactive, data-driven approach, Schwarze has identified multiple opportunities to reduce costs and strengthen the profitability of its street sweeper lineup.
