About Us

Sintertechnik GmbH is a third-generation German family-owned company, established in 1962, specializing in the development and production of high-performance materials. Our work includes engineering, design, improvement, and optimization of specific materials and products as well as the development of complete production processes, including the corresponding plant technology for operations at temperatures of up to 2,000°C and beyond.

By following this approach, Sintertechnik has been able to become a trusted development partner for globally recognized enterprises such as Siemens AG, Continental AG, and renowned aerospace organizations including ESA, EADS and MTU Aero Engines. Sintertechnik’s high-performance components were utilized in EADS’  “zero-g” parabolic flights and have also proven their value in NASA’s Mars missions – specifically in the first wheeled vehicle ever to travel to another planet in the history of humankind.

The development of a complete production process for turbomachinery parts composed of titanium alloys (such as titanium aluminide) utilizing a novel investment casting technique was a major technology milestone. Sintertechnik was a pioneer of this advancement, which enabled, for the first time, the production of „cast-to-size“ highly loaded turbomachinery parts, including turbochargers and, in particular, turbine blades for aircraft engines from this highly complex Ti-alloy. The manufacturing process, including the corresponding machine technology, also enables the realization of the required material properties through specific microstructure adjustments across a wide range of titanium alloy components.

An additional key element of our successful approach is Sintertechnik’s long-standing collaboration with universities, colleges, and research institutes, as well as with highly qualified partners, particularly in the Far East. For many years, Sintertechnik has operated a production facility in Thailand, having recognized early on that future growth markets would lie outside of Europe. This strategy enables us to deliver tailored solutions using our in-house resources or, depending on the project requirements, in close collaboration with our established partners.

Sintertechnik has adapted to the changing global boundary conditions and the increasing pressure European industries are facing. Future products and their production processes have to meet new challenging requirements due to the climate change. In this context, the responsible use of resources is just as important as quality and cost-efficiency. This means, among other things, extending product lifespans and reducing the production-related carbon footprint. In response to these global challenges, Sintertechnik has developed a range of cutting-edge solutions that align with these future sustainability trends.

Long-life DC motors are a prime example. These small DC motors are particularly well-suited for mass-market applications, including those in the automotive industry, medical devices, and various other fields. The original service life of approximately 900 hours, was increased to 10,000 hours by Sintertechnik. Thanks to this innovation, cost-effective and easily controllable DC-motors can now replace certain expensive BLDC-motors that require complex control systems.

Another example is our electric burner technology, which enables the conversion of current fossil fuel-based heat treatment processes with their associated considerable CO₂-emissions (at least 200g of CO₂ per kWh of energy produced which are inevitable when operating with fossil fuels such as natural gas) to new CO₂-emission-free electric burners.

Additional savings of theoretically up to 80% can be achieved by replicating the flow characteristics of fossil-fueled thermal processing plants using a concept focused on maximum achievable energy savings. With decades of experience in the materials industry, Sintertechnik can assist with both the switch to energy-optimized CO₂-free heat treatment processes and the improvement of the quality to reach the full potential of the respective products.
