Monitoring audit 2023 according to IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 successfully passed
SynFlex has successfully passed the certification audits in 2023 at the Blomberg and Schramberg sites, according to the standards IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 9001:20215, as well as at the Innermanzing site in Austria according to ISO 9001:2015.
The standard for QM systems in the automotive industry IATF 16949:2016 defines the industry-specific requirements for series and spare parts production based on DIN EN ISO 9001:2015.
In the course of the annual certification, SynFlex has been audited by the certification company DQS and has successfully passed the certifications at the sites. For this purpose, the processes of the QM system are continuously scrutinized, monitored, evaluated and optimized by the employees. The continuous improvement of system and process quality optimizes customer satisfaction. Thus, we can meet the increasing demands on product quality, productivity and competitiveness and also increase the efficiency for our customers.
"With our certification, we want to show reliability and a high standard of meeting our customers' needs. The certification is a signal of confidence for our business partners", explains Heinz von der Heide, Head of Quality Management at SynFlex.
The successful certification is an achievement of all SynFlex employees.
The blood donation service celebrates its premiere at the SynFlex Group in Blomberg
Together with her team of three, Ms. Ledig (DRK-Blutspendedienst West) regularly prepares the large blood donation vehicle. Today, 50 blood donations are planned, to be given by employees working in shifts.
"As a family business, we are committed to the region and to our fellow man. It's great that so many of our employees have accepted the invitation to donate blood," says Dr. Henning Martens, Director Human Resources & Legal Affairs at SynFlex Elektro GmbH.
Employees from our sister company SHWire (Schwering & Hasse Elektrodraht GmbH) also came to donate. For them, as for the other colleagues who come to donate at a specific time, the first step is a preliminary consultation with the doctor. The doctor checks whether they are suitable donors and then directs them to the mobile unit. Five people can donate at the same time. About half a litre of blood is taken from each person. They then go to the rear VIP area to acclimatise - and then the company provides free refreshments to replenish their fluids.
Ms. Ledig recommends that donors drink plenty of fluids and eat well before giving blood. "Two cups of coffee are not enough, otherwise the blood is much thicker and it is harder to take," says Ms. Ledig. The blood donation service travels almost every day, at least three times a week.
All the blood donors from the SynFlex Group came through the day well, and Ms. Ledig is also satisfied with the result: "We will gladly come again."
Coiltech Pordenone 2023

In addition, the wide product range of our stamped and formed parts and adhesive tapes.
We would like to thank all visitors.

Summer fair 2023
On 1 September, we held a summer fair for all employees on our headquater in Blomberg.
Despite the rather autumnal weather outlook, the funfair was accompanied by dry weather and pleasant temperatures - a real stroke of luck!
With a variety of tasty treats, exciting games like throwing cans and darts, exciting horse races and of course the indispensable bull riding, the funfair was a real highlight. The grounds were full of employees who were in the best of moods and enjoyed the festival to the fullest.
Our Managing Director, Mr Karsch, opened the bull-riding very skilfully. After the spell was broken, there was a lot of competition among the colleagues.
The party went on until the early hours of the morning - undoubtedly a great success!

Our all-in-one system is specifically designed for processing roll materials. On this basis, the machine is accordingly used as a laser for cutting and engraving our stampings and blanks.

Pad-cleaning tapes
The Target is clear: the customer wants to have the perfect printing result.
One of the main factors, which is unfortunately often ignored, is the cleanliness of the printing process. It is not enough to apply the ink safely to the end product. The stamp must be perfectly cleaned for the next printing process. Pad-cleaning tapes of SynFlex have exactly these properties by reliably removing residual ink and dirt.
The SynFlex Group introduces itself
If you want to shape the future, you need strong partners. SynFlex has found these partners with the companies SHWire and IsoTek, united in the SynFlex Group.
Together, we bundle our competencies in the SynFlex Group, make use of synergies and offer customers added value that is unmatched in our industry.
IEC 1906 Award – Expert knowledge honored
SHWire and SynFlex are very active in national and international standards bodies. These worldwide valid so-called IEC standards describe the state of the art regarding important tests and product properties, e.g. for winding wires in the 60317 and 60851 series of standards. Our customers can refer to these comprehensively and reliably and also agree on specific tests or properties.
Shopping for the good cause
The year is drawing to a close, the time of contemplation has come and we are presenting gifts to loved ones. But also there are many people around us who need our support. The Schwering & Hasse Foundation is committed to these people in the city of Lügde and the region. Especially the children are in the foreground.
Certification of real-life Practice
Until recently, the standard for QM systems in the automotive industry was ISO/TS 16949. It defines the additional industry-specific requirements for the production of series parts and spare parts in the automotive industry. This has been replaced by IATF 16949. SynFlex successfully completed the transition audit for IATF 16949:2016 in September 2018 and is therefore one of the first among the very few in the industry.
Chemistry can also be different
Environmental protection has long ceased to be merely an issue for the future but, despite this, very little is evident in some areas of collective efforts designed to protect the environment. We regard it as a very important task, and we also see in the enforcement of international agreements throughout our sector an opportunity to promote efforts in environmental protection beyond national frontiers.
Industry 4.0
Production secures prosperity, employment and, ultimately, the future for all of us. During times in which we see relocation to low-wage countries, the European economy asserts itself through flexibility, quality and stability. This applies in particular to the winding industry.
Growing significance of the EU railway standard
When it comes to the safety of passengers and personnel, use of the final product and individual components in railway technology involves the strictest demands along the entire manufacturing chain. The regulations in DIN EN 45545 must be observed to detect and evaluate any hazard potential at an early stage.
10 years high-bay warehouse
Smooth logistics have for many years been one of the basic demands customers make of a system provider such as SynFlex. Expressions such as just-in-time and 24-hour delivery service have now become an indispensable service which many customers no longer wish to do without.
Two jubilees, two success stories
A company jubilee is a very special event. Together, the enterprise, its employees and customers can look back on the many milestones achieved, tricky challenges and successful moments. Two very special birthdays will be celebrated at SynFlex in 2017: 10 years of SynFlex China and 20 years of SynFlex Italy. Two jubilees, and two success stories that need to be told.
SynFlex A/S’ 25th anniversary
The history of the second international subsidiary of the SynFlex Group began as a result of the acquisition of Eldra GmbH in Austria in 1993. The reason being that Eldra GmbH initially owned 50 % of the shares of company John Hjalholt A/S which had been the Danish distributor at that time.
