INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS FROM SCHUNK SINTER METALS

Sintered metal – precision manufactured for the world's most demanding markets

Schunk Sinter Metals develops and manufactures high-precision sintered metal & MIM components for industries that accept no compromises. From the traction motor in an electric vehicle to the engine component in an aircraft, from the actuator to the functional part in a wristwatch – Schunk's powder metallurgy solutions are used wherever tight tolerances, economical series production, and long-term reliability are required at the same time. 

Industry Solutions

Materials expertise as the common foundation

What connects all our industry solutions is the depth of our materials expertise. Over 100 years of experience in powder metallurgy, an accredited testing laboratory, and three complementary manufacturing processes – axial pressing, MIM, and additive manufacturing – allow us to develop the technically and economically optimal component for every requirement. We get involved early in our customers' product development and support the project from the first material idea to qualified series delivery.

By your side

Your development partner – from idea to series

Schunk Sinter Metals does not see itself as a contract manufacturer. We are a development partner – with our own materials research, our own tool making, and an accredited testing laboratory that supports the entire process. Simultaneous engineering, sinter-friendly design consulting, and IATF 16949-certified production based on a zero-defect philosophy form the foundation for partnerships that often last for decades.
