As the world's leading manufacturer of carbon brushes, Schunk Carbon Technology is at work in almost every vehicle. For the automotive industry, we develop carbon solutions for electrical current transfer, high-performance components for fuel, coolant, and vacuum pumps, and thermal management for batteries and power electronics. Tailor-made materials, IATF 16949-certified large-scale production, and early involvement in your development make us a reliable partner when quality and performance are what count.

As an experienced development partner to the automotive industry, Schunk Sinter Metals manufactures high-precision components for powertrain, e-mobility, comfort systems, and body applications. With axial pressing and metal injection molding (MIM), we apply the right process for every geometry and volume. Our components are delivered ready-to-install, are IATF 16949 certified, and are tested according to a zero-defect philosophy. The result is cost-effective solutions that meet the automotive industry's high demands for quality and performance.

Schunk Smart Charging is the name of our unique portfolio of automated charging solutions based on pantograph technology. Whether e-busses, e-trucks or electric-autonomous vehicles at ports, airports and in mines - our solutions can be perfectly adapted to your requirements and integrated into your existing infrastructure.

Whether in trucks, buses, trains or maritime applications: commercial vehicles offer great potential for hydrogen motors. With durable graphite bipolar plates for use in PEMFC and DMFC fuel cell stacks, Schunk sees itself as a development partner for customers who see hydrogen technology as the future.

We upgrade our pantographs and make them intelligent: Schunk OnTrack Monitoring generates condition data of pantographs and catenary wires during operation: the basis for predictive maintenance and increased availability of vehicles and infrastructure.

As the market and innovation leader for ultrasonic metal welding, Schunk Sonosystems is a partner in high demand  in the automotive industry when it comes to manufacturing wire harnesses, batteries and IGBTs. This joining technology ensures secure connections both from strand to strand and strand to terminal or for high-current contacts. 

With environmental simulation systems from Weiss Technik, you are able to simulate any kind of conditions - from air flows and vibtrations to extreme temperatures and pressure - for observing corrosion behavior. For safe and reliable mobility.
