5 hrs confidence: working together to raise the bar; wired for success
Explanation:
Ok, I am aware that the correct translation would be to act in concert or to pull together, but since you are looking for something a bit different:
1) working together to raise the bar
Working together will cover the Miteinander bit, raising the bar expresses a dynamic action and direction, and the bar, other than being part of the idiom, can also be used in the context of Eisen - steel bar.
2) My other suggestion would be:
Wired for success

13 hrs confidence: a cast-iron partnership
Explanation:
"Doppelbedeutung Eisen/Miteinander".
I don't know if this fits with your client's product range.
Or possibly a "solid-steel partnership".
