Extrusion tools S+C Extrusion Tooling Solutions (S+C ETS), based in Lindlar, Germany, is focused on the requirements of the extrusion industry. The company, which is part of the international Schmidt + Clemens Group, produces tool components and systems for the extrusion industry and focuses on maintaining a close dialogue with its customers. “In order to provide optimum solutions, we need to be familiar with and understand the customers’ processes,” said Werner Schwetje, director of S+C ETS. The company provides an increasing number of services; its engineers, as well as providing customers with technical advice, are also responsible for the design of containers and the optimisation of customers’ existing systems. Faulty tools are repaired after diagnostics, right up to installation of the components. This ‘relining’ takes place at one of the company’s relining centres. S+C ETS supplies a full range of extrusion tools, complemented by customer service that completes the portfolio of the family business. The company is also focusing on internationalisation – agencies around the world represent its products and services with the support of the materials experts and engineers at the parent plant in Germany. The company is continuing to set benchmarks thanks to the S+C High Grade Steel Academy. At regular seminars and workshops, customers and interested parties have the opportunity to get further acquainted with extrusion tools – an experience that is always closely related to practice.
