ALLIANCE OF TECHNOLOGIES: WIESAUPLAST BECOMES PART OF THE SCHERDEL GROUP
WIESAUPLAST will becomes part of the globally active SCHERDELGroup from January 1st, 2022.
With this takeover, SCHERDEL is intensifying its activities in in the field of plastics/plastics-metal, which it started in 2006. WIESAUPLAST will benefit from the international positioning, the existing market access and the innovative strength of the SCHERDEL Group.
Information about the SCHERDEL Group:
The SCHERDELGruppe is a family company with more than 130 years of tradition in the fourth generation. Since its foundation, the company has been headquartered in Marktredwitz in Upper Franconia. With more than 6,000 employees and 42 manufacturing plants at 32 locations in 12 countries, SCHERDEL generates a turnover of around €700 million. In the business areas automotive, pharmaceuticals and industry, the Upper Franconian company is active in the fields of metal forming, joining technology, component assembly, machine and tool construction, as well as surface technology, research and product development.
In addition to the technological complementarity, the regional proximity between the SCHERDEL headquarters in Marktredwitz and the WIESAUPLAST plant in Wiesau, as well as in Mexico, where the WIESAUPLAST plant is only 2.5 hours away from the SCHERDEL site in Silao, was also a favourable factor.
The new alliance of technologies is consciously expressed both by the change of name from WIESAUPLAST to SCHERDELWiesauplast and by the new logo of the company, which includes both SCHERDEL and WIESAUPLAST.
Within the SCHERDEL Group, SCHERDELWiesauplast will act as a plastics technology center and lead plant.
The existing customers and the current parts portfolio of WIESAUPLAST will be further consolidated and expanded with the new possibilities through belonging to the SCHERDEL Group.
The management of SCHERDELWiesauplast will in future be taken over by Wolfgang Beer as Managing Director. Mr. Beer was previously in charge of the strategy project Plastics-Metal in the SCHERDELGroup and had previously worked for 30 years at WIESAUPLAST and the Dr. Schneider Group in Kronach in various management positions.
Mr. Ammer, the previous managing director of WIESAUPLAST, will retire at the end of the year with the transition to SCHERDEL.
We are convinced that both our mutual customers, SCHERDEL's own customers and WIESAUPLAST's own customers will benefit from this alliance of technologies and that we will thus create the best conditions for both companies to meet the challenges in the course of the transformation.
In the future, we will be able to offer our customers an even better service worldwide in the field of plastics / plastics - metal, both in series production, but also already in the prototype phase in terms of expertise, technologies and speed.
Due to the proximity, the plants in Wiesau and Marktredwitz, as well as San Iturbide and Silao in Mexico, can complement each other excellently and develop synergies. The new alliance of technologies creates highly interesting and future-oriented jobs. Training is an important part of the philosophy.
Services
scope of services
DEVELOPMENT EXPERTISE
From idea to function – Wiesauplast supports its customers with the realization of the most complex requirements in plastic. A product optimized in regards to function, producibility, and quality is our goal.
TOOL MANAGEMENT
Top quality is the result of consistent precision work. Tool design and construction as a core competency – because only an injection mold perfectly tailored to the respective needs meets the requirements for optimal series production and therefore ensures the satisfaction of our customers.
Automation
Complex products and systems often require a multi-stage manufacturing process. Wiesauplast counts on highly automated manufacturing concepts designed for individual products to ensure economical, reproducible production at the highest quality level.
HI-TECH MATERIALS
High-performance plastics are increasingly gaining importance as modern materials, especially as a substitute for metals. Wiesauplast processes thermoplastics based on PET, PPS, PEEK PPA, PAA, and PA containing up to 60% fillers.
ELECTRONICS EXPERTISE
Plastic meets Electronic – Wiesauplast has been expanding its service portfolio under this motto since 2009. The objective is to bring plastics and electronics together to overcome three-dimensional challenges, for example for mechatronic systems.
Global Supply
As a premium or preferred supplier of globally active customers, the internationalization strategy has been a permanent part of the Wiesauplast philosophy for many years. We are already manufacturing on two continents today, supplying customers in nearly all industrialized nations worldwide.
Human Resources
To ensure the growth of Wiesauplast going forward, our employees are the key to success. This is why the training of specialists, the promotion of new managers, and integrated human resource development have always been key components of our HR strategy.
We take this topic very seriously and are fully aware that the transformation of the employment market demands even greater engagement to ensure the long-term loyalty of our specialists and managers.
The line between metal and plastic continues to shift. Weight reduction, the integration of functions, ex- panded design freedom, and component and system costs are driving this trend.
With plastic-metal hybrid technology, Wiesauplast combines the benefits of two different materials and realizes synergy effects beyond the capabilities of a single material. Mechanical load capacity and electrical conductivity are just two examples of key benefits.
Plastic meets Electronics – we combine the techno- logies. 3D solutions based on plastics and electronics, as 3D MID or 2D flexible PCB solutions for mechatronic systems, optimize the utilization of scarce installation space.
Auch dieses Jahr freuen wir uns, drei neue Auszubildende bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen!
Als Industriekauffrau, als Verfahrensmechaniker für Kunststoff und Kautschuk und als Werkzeugmechaniker erlernen die Drei unterschiedliche, aber dennoch interessante, spannende und aufgabenreiche Ausbildungen kennen.
