Sintron-Polymec maintains market lead in precision plastic parts
A synergistic fusion of two complementary companies makes Sintron-Polymec a competitive niche player in meeting Asia's growing demand for high-quality precision plastic parts. The company draws on more than 50 years of combined industrial expertise of Sintron - a high-precision gears and gear assemblies manufacturer, and Polymec - a specialist in injection moulded parts mainly for Switzerland's medical industry.
A synergistic fusion of two complementary companies makes Sintron-Polymec a competitive niche player in meeting Asia's growing demand for high-quality precision plastic parts. The company draws on more than 50 years of combined industrial expertise of Sintron - a high-precision gears and gear assemblies manufacturer, and Polymec - a specialist in injection moulded parts mainly for Switzerland's medical industry.
Through its Zhuhai subsidiary founded in 2012, Sintron-Polymec serves existing clients that have moved their manufacturing facilities to China. "Localising the supply chain for our customers lowers production cost and shortens time-to-market delivery," says Kilian Hunziker, managing director.
For its vehicle segment, Sintron-Polymec is a trusted partner of top-tier manufacturers such as Bosch, Continental and Brose. For its medical segment, the company specialises in insulin distribution for the diabetes care market and parts manufacturing for hearing aids, with Roche and Sonova among its esteemed clients.
Sintron-Polymec takes pride in its human capital to further its competency-based strategies and tap into fresh market opportunities. "Our success is anchored on the creativity, knowledge and dedication of our people. We bring solutions by developing alternative assembly principles with our customers," Hunziker says.
The company developed a one-of-a-kind approach to conduct a three-step parts production process simultaneously. This allowed Sintron-Polymec to manufacture four times higher quantities in the same amount of time while maintaining Swiss standards, and bring customer savings to up to 50 per cent.
Sintron-Polymec seeks to replicate its European success in China - comprising a third of its sales - particularly in the automotive and medical industries. For its regional expansion, a significant portion of its production already goes to Asian car manufacturers such as Toyota and Hyundai.
The company is in the process of finalising its assembly business, which it plans to set up by early this year to serve customers in China and to increase export competitiveness.
