SKS-Experts in injection moulding; consulting/development, Toolmaking, series production, assembly/automation technology

Whether product testing with proof of quality or analyses and expert opinions after damage cases - the Testing business unit supports your product policy and provides valuable arguments for the sales markets. Specialist conferences and courses on all aspects of plastics as well as on interdisciplinary topics make it possible to benefit from the recipes for success of strong companies and their experts in order to effectively incorporate these practices into everyday business. Not only in times of a shortage of skilled workers are companies in the industry well advised to push their own skilled worker qualification and to compensate for bottlenecks caused by new techniques and volume increases in production by means of specialised further training. The SKZ is a recognised DVGW course centre and offers you industry-specific and practice-oriented courses in the field of joining plastics with the possibility of a corresponding and recognised qualification according to DVS, DVGW, AGFW or EN guidelines. In research and development, the focus is clearly on the future in projects with direct practical relevance: From materials to production processes and component properties to the evaluation of processes and products under economic and ecological aspects. The research results directly serve operational practice for the benefit of quality and efficiency. Simply being aware of one's own company processes through activities within the framework of management certification constantly uncovers potential for improvement - a tailwind that no company today should do without. The SKZ is supported by the FSKZ e. V. - the Association for the Promotion of the Plastics Centre. Its members include successful companies in the plastics industry and related sectors. Membership in the association means the opportunity to fight for top positions in the team - to network, to benefit from the excellent contacts in terms of content and to be able to represent plastics-specific interests more sustainably with a successful team.

Whether first product samples, pre-series or small series of up to 100,000 pieces - we manufacture precise components with optimal mechanical properties and high attention to detail. Additive manufacturing opens up maximum design freedom and enables the rapid production of complex geometries, functional prototypes and near-series components without tool costs. We use a wide range of 3D printing technologies and materials - from plastics to high-performance polymers and metals. For small series with a wide variety of materials, vacuum casting offers a cost-effective solution for producing detailed components in castable plastics that have properties close to those of series production. Speedpart produces your individual injection-molded component from just one piece. The injection mold is manufactured using CNC or metal laser sintering processes. Speedpart can produce not only the tools, but also the end products themselves using its own injection molding machines in-house. This ensures quality and precision. You receive the mold, the prototype or the final series from a single source. This means quantities of up to 100,000 are possible - from the CAD drawing to certified production. By combining these processes, we guarantee economical and technically optimal solutions for every application.

Manufacturing of customized compounds made from recyclates, conventional and bio-based raw materials.

Our plastic regranulates aren’t just on a par with new material in terms of quality – when it comes to their economic and ecological advantages, they are better than new. Because they save costs over the long term and reduce your company’s emissions. For decades, we have been refining our future concept for resource efficiency based on a rational closed-loop economy and have developed standards that are valid worldwide. This innovative strength continues to drive us forward. Together with our partners in the energenta group of companies, we are working every day on new solutions for our customers. With a clearly defined ambition: Nothing gets lost. In the early 1990s, when we were still an internal business unit of Grundig AG, we began developing a recyclable housing material and an accompanying quality assurance system. Working under the name Sysplast – from ‘system’ and ‘thermoplast’ – we chose acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, as it was the most convincing engineering material from a combined economic and ecological perspective. In the energenta group of companies, we offer you all of the competences necessary for effective plastics recycling. In the plants of the Group companies, we demetallise galvanised plastic parts and separate composites into homogeneous materials, which we then grind down and reprocess into high-quality regranulates and compounds.

Custom plastic parts, from prototypes to small-batch production. Flexible manufacturing using a variety of processes.

Techniplas Schwäbisch Gmünd GmbH Your partner for high-performance surfaces Techniplas Schwäbisch Gmünd GmbH is an internationally active company that was founded in 1977 as a subsidiary of Degussa AG in Schwäbisch Gmünd and is active in the surface coating sector. From 1993 to 2010 it was run as an independent company, since August 2010 it has been part of the Nanogate AG group of companies and since 2021 it has been part of the Techniplas Group. Techniplas Schwäbisch Gmünd GmbH, in conjunction with the Techniplas Group, offers the entire value chain from plastic injection molding to surface finishing. Techniplas Schwäbisch Gmünd specializes in the optical and technical refinement of surfaces with its products SICRALAN® and ELAMET®. With the SICRALAN® product family, scratch-resistant, reflex-reducing and/or chemical-resistant surfaces are produced on plastic components using transparent coatings. In addition to a variety of conventional coating processes, Techniplas has a globally unique inkjet technology with which, in contrast to conventional painting technology, components can be coated without masking technology and selectively according to customer specifications. It allows use on transparent and non-transparent plastics. High-gloss black products with a scratch-resistant surface produced using the inkjet process are particularly in demand in the premium sector of the automotive industry. Another technical highlight from Techniplas is the electromagnetic shielding of electronics housings using the patented ELAMET® process. The ELAMET® process is a coating process in which metals such as aluminum, copper, steel or gold in the micrometer range are deposited on plastic surfaces in high vacuum vapor deposition systems, depending on the application. The metal layer created on the plastic surface forms a closed, electrically conductive surface with which effective shielding can be achieved. The ELAMET® process can be used for all electrical devices with plastic housings that need to be shielded against electromagnetic interference.
