Supply Chain Stability: Our Strategic Approach to Purchasing

Quality standards

Our Supplier Management

We place the same high demands on our suppliers as we do on our products and processes. Compliance with the extensive specifications is ensured by continuous audits.

Steel quality

It is all about the inner values

The selection of high-quality materials is crucial for the load-bearing capacity of a spring in an axle assembly of a commercial vehicle. Schomäcker works exclusively with certified steel manufactures for original equipment (OEM). From the outside, a spring may look geometrically correct, however the inner values of the chemical composition, the hardness structure and the specifically applied residual stresses are decisive for its service life.
