WHAT WE PROVIDE
Reliable. Speedy. Exceptional.
Extraordinary.
Designed to achieve unmatched availability.
Our engineers’ first priority is user safety. That is then closely followed by optimizing the return on invest. Only an operating plant is a good plant.
The aims of our engineers are:
- Minimize downtimes
- Maximize availability
- Simplify and accelerate potential maintenance and repairs
- Extend operational service life and be there in case our support is needed.
We know our clients’ pain points and we do everything to make them feel more comfortable.
Relying on solutions developed and crafted by SCHMIDTSCHE SCHACK is a safe bet when considering quality and reliability.
HOW WE WORK.
Do you know the true meaning of family? It is a community of completely different personalities, sharing roots, values and genes.
We cannot deny our ancestry. This may sound boring and not particularly likeable. Still, we like where we come from.
Some call it smugness. Some call it fussiness. Some call it profoundness.
We call it German engineering. We care about each and every detail when it comes to heat transfer solutions.
We are obsessed by the ambition to be able to even exceed our client’s requirements. We engineer with highly sophisticated tools in order to conceive and calculate every possible aspect to provide a lasting solution.
Calculations are performed and insoected in-house by our own specialists.
Utilizing the most advanced manufacturing technologies, which are executed by highly skilled and annually certified staff, enables us to ensure that every detail is put into action.
Welding of heat resistant high chromium steels or high nickel alloys is performed to increase the product quality.
In addition, designated work is accomplished as automatized, for example by welding robots, orbital welding machines. Tandem narrow gap submerged arc welding is also used to create reliable units.
The use of state-of-the-art quality testing machinery is another key point for achieving to highest standards. It also complies with all national standards and specific customer requirements – everything you would expect from a product labelled as “Made in Germany” – boringly reliable.
WHAT OUR QUIRK FOR QUALITY IS ALL ABOUT.
Quality is very much linked to the ideal of German engineering. Yes, we have a little quirk for quality.
For us, quality always starts with the first customer pitch. It is in the way we listen to your demands and the way we transfer understanding into our designs. It is in the way we contiuously rethink, reinvent and rework our products in order to support our customers with the best possible product for their requirements.
It is in the way we respect your demand for profitability and pursue your goals. It is in the way we handle your project. It is in every thought and idea that we invest for your process.
It is in the neatness of our workshops. It is in how we select material. It is in each and every weld seam. It is in the way we treat our suppliers. It is the way we deal with challenges, with our staff and with resources.
This idea of quality is deeply embedded in everyone who works for SCHMIDTSCHE SCHACK.
Complying with the national standards for Quality Management, Environmental Management and Occupational Health and Safety Management is self explanatory for us.
Our Values
Sharing values constitutes a company mindset. In the coordinate system of our values, people are always right in the centre:
Not just partners and clients but also our staff and their families.
Around these people, excellence, passion, progress and efficiency are grouped as guiding principles of high priority.
Above all, sustainability serves as a kind of superstructure. Sustainable excellence. Sustainable progress. Sustainable profitability. Sustainable interaction with people and – of course – with nature.
People
We always put people first
We believe in the power of people, the energy from their different cultures, their personal commitment, their inspiring relationships and their very personal value.
This is why people are at the heart of our company’s activities.
Everything we do, we do for the benefit of people – the ones who invest in our products, the ones who work with our products, the ones who cooperate with us, the ones who are employed by us as well as their loved ones.
Satisfaction promotes motivation, promotes performance, promotes additional satisfaction.
Efficiency
We strive for efficient solutions for everyone’s benefit.
We strive to increase efficiency by optimizing processes, partnerships, technologies as well as our products.
Our clients always have to benefit from this high effectiveness as well. We always aim at growing profitable, together with all our stakeholders.
However, we never just pursue profitability at the expense of safety or excellence.
Excellence
We are motivated by extraordinary challenges
Excellence is our attitude. Mistakes may endanger human lives in our senstive business. Downtimes imply millions of dollars lost every day. That is why we always put quality first at all levels of our organization.
One example: In order to deliver excellent premium products, our welders have to pass a test which is probably the most demanding one worldwide.
Progress
We transform expertise into innovation
In times of transition, we all require reliable partners. Farsighted. Open-minded. Always inventive.
As a global leader, we have been consistently in progress, performance and partnership since 1910.
Many pioneering innovations have been originated from the heads of our leading engineers. Progress is our heritage. We carry it further with pride and passion.
Sustainability
We treasure tomorrow
Everything we do is thought through to last. We strive for sustainable progress, sustainable excellence, sustainable profitability, sustainable passion and sustainable treatment of people and – of course – nature.
We fuel the circular economy. In a first of its kind plant in Nevada, USA, our solutions now contribute to converting household garbage into synthetic jet fuel which has an 80% reduced carbon footprint compared to the conventional kerosene.
Aiming at protecting our environment is deeply rooted in our history. Saving resources by reusing energy was the initial idea of our founders.
Up to today, we have always pursued this aim by constantly developing and refining technology in order to recover energy and reuse it.
Passion
We are motivated by extraordinary challenges
Our average is the extreme: highest pressure, maximum temperature.
We develop outstanding technologies to fulfil the most exceptional demands with reliable solutions.
This passion for the exceptional is what drives us on. We always want to push the limits of what seems to be impossible.
Our corporate pride is the ability to provide custom made solutions for process gases at very high temperatures of up to 1,500 °C and high pressures of up to 300 bar. With this excelling expertise, we thereby set the benchmark on a global level.
