The Schunk Group is an international technology group with more than 8,500 employees in 29 countries. The company is a leading supplier of products made from high-tech materials - such as carbon, technical ceramics and sintered metal - as well as machines and systems - from environmental simulation to air-conditioning technology and ultrasonic welding to optical machines. The Schunk Group achieved a turnover of 1.3 billion euros in 2018. A long-term orientation is essential for the Schunk Group. This was already given to it by Ludwig Schunk, who founded today's Schunk Group over a hundred years ago. Accordingly to his wish, the management of the company is to be kept in such a way that the healthy development and the maintenance of independence are in the foreground. The long-term goals of the Schunk Group derived from this: financial stability and independence, profitable growth and global presence. With more than 90 years of experience in powder metallurgy, the Sinter Metals division is a technology and development partner when it comes to the production of sintered metal parts using both axial press technology and metal injection molding technology (MIM - Metal Injection Molding). High-precision sintered parts from Schunk are mainly used in the automotive industry. Here they bring both speed and safety along the streets of the world: no car moves without sintered parts. Components from Schunk can be found particularly in the engine and its peripherals, such as turbochargers, injection systems, pumps, valve controls as well as in brake and safety systems, in seat adjustment mechanisms or in sensors or actuators.
