Schunk Xycarb Technology

All of our manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001 certified. Many of our customers manufacture products for the automotive industry. Therefore, Schunk Xycarb Technology has established a Quality Management System that adheres to the highest quality standard: ISO/TS 16949. Our Integrated Management System also complies with the requirements of ISO 14001 for environmental management and OHSAS 18001 for occupational safety. Quality assurance is a key focus for Schunk Xycarb Technology, exceeding customer needs and expectations to drive mutual success and sustainable growth. To consistently deliver top-quality products and services, we’ve implemented an Integrated Management System (IMS) covering Quality, Environment, and Safety, meeting various international standards.

Schunk Xycarb Technology attaches great importance to QESH and applies the Environmental, Energy and Occupational Safety Policy of the Schunk Group. Environmental protection today leads us away from mere treatment towards a more integrated approach - for the Schunk Group this includes the improvement of energy efficiency - with the responsibility to sustain human livelihood and to preserve nature as well as to reduce the impact on humans and nature when manufacturing, storing, transporting, selling and applying our products. The Schunk Group is continuously improving its internal environmental policy and its energy efficiency. We ask our suppliers and external companies working on our Company premises to observe the same environmental Standards as we do. When introducing new Operations, new products, new technical equipment or processes, the impact on the environment and energy consumption is evaluated in advance. In doing so, the compliance with environmental regulatory requirements is a matter of course for us. Applied environmental protection in all areas is a sign of high product quality. It secures our future by considerate exploitation of available resources, reduction of waste, energy consumption and environmentally unfriendly emissions, and prevention from runaway emissions during equipment malfunction. An open and objective dialogue is the basis for mutual trust with Citizens and authorities. We involve our employees by regular Information and training, thus leading to ecology-minded thinking and acting and achieving our objectives.

Schunk Xycarb Technology takes responsibility for creating a safe working environment and enables its employees to take responsibility for their own and others safety. Schunk Xycarb Technology works with substances that may pose risks to humans and the environment. We recognize these risks and accept our responsibility to manage our branches in order to protect health and safety of employees, customers, suppliers, third parties and the environment. The policy aimed towards safety, health and environment at least meets or exceeds requirements to its statutory. Schunk Xycarb Technology continuously works to improve these areas by reducing risks, increasing employee engagement and improving the working environment within Schunk Xycarb Technology.

Schunk Xycarb Technology monitors organizational performance using a Balanced Scorecard. This framework encompasses four perspectives: customer, financial, internal operational processes, and innovation/learning. Within each perspective, Critical Success Factors and Key Performance Indicators are defined with clear targets. The Balanced Scorecard ensures that operational activities align with our vision and strategy. To enhance products and processes, Xycarb Ceramics employs Lean manufacturing and Six Sigma principles. Lean techniques reduce waste and boost speed and throughput. Design for Six Sigma is used in R&D projects, solving complex problems. Project prioritization considers the impact on the Balanced Scorecard and total cost of ownership. The combination of Six Sigma, Lean manufacturing, and the Balanced Scorecard yields quality, innovation, and shorter lead times, making Schunk Xycarb Technology an ideal business partner.
