MS-Schramberg

What MS-Schramberg does

MS-Schramberg GmbH & Co. KG is a privately-held German manufacturer of custom permanent magnets and magnet-based system solutions, founded in 1963 in Schramberg-Sulgen and operating approximately 450-500 employees generating roughly €105 million in annual sales as of 2023. The company's portfolio spans the full magnet technology stack: sintered hard ferrite and rare earth magnets, plastic-bonded pressed magnets (up to 97% NdFeB filling), plastic-bonded injection-molded magnets (HF, NdFeB, SmFeN variants), elastomer-bonded magnets via a 2020 partnership with Rubbertec GmbH, plastic and plastic-composite overmolded parts, contact assemblies, and complete system solutions integrating magnets with precision plastic gearing through proprietary 2-component injection molding.

The core technology is built on end-to-end in-house capabilities covering material development, magnetic and mechanical design, FEM-based magnetic field simulation, virtual tool trialing, in-house tool and mold making, pressing, sintering, injection molding, joining, automation, and precision metrology (including industrial computer tomography and tactile coordinate measurement with sub-0.2mm probes). Two-component injection-molded rotors achieve pitch circle diameters of 3mm at modulus 0.2mm and DIN ISO 1328 tolerance class 8-10. Elastomer-bonded variants deliver temperature resistance to 180°C with minimum pole widths of approximately 1mm.

MS-Schramberg generates revenue through direct B2B enterprise sales of custom-engineered magnet products and assemblies, with quote-based per-unit pricing negotiated individually with automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, medical device manufacturers, and industrial customers. Engineering services are bundled with manufacturing. Distribution is exclusively direct — internal sales staff, sales representatives in France and Italy, and a wholly-owned US subsidiary (MS-Schramberg Inc., Romeoville, IL) handle North America. Trade show participation across CWIEME, Coiltech, COMPAMED, IZB, and the Magnetics Show series is the primary demand-generation channel. The automotive and electromobility vertical is the largest target sector, followed by medical technology, building/HVAC, mechanical engineering, and consumer/household applications.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• Rubbertec GmbHcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2020Rubbertec GmbH, based in Nürtingen with approximately 200 employees, is a specialist for elastomer technology developing and producing high-quality elastomer products for automotive seals and industrial applications. MS-Schramberg entered a cooperation partnership with Rubbertec for the development of elastomer-bonded magnetic materials, including development of compounds, production processes, and manufacture of elastomer-bonded magnets. Rubbertec provides elastomer material expertise, testing, simulations, and acceptance capabilities at its Villingen-Schwenningen location, meeting high automotive industry technical specifications. This partnership enables MS-Schramberg to offer elastomer-bonded magnets when thermoplastic injection is unsuitable due to material shrinkage or when high pole pitch accuracy or chemical bonding with carrier materials is required.
