Schunk, with a global workforce of 9000 employees strategically located in 29 countries across the globe, develops customtailored high-technology products and system solutions in the areas of carbon technology, technical ceramics, environmental simulation, airconditioning technology, sintered metal and ultrasonic welding.
Schunk is a worldwide leader in the development, production and application of carbon and ceramic solutions. With a highlyspecialized technology-based product portfolio consisting of mechanical carbon, electrical carbon, thermal carbon and technical ceramics, Schunk offers solutions for a wide industrial spectrum. In addition, our customers benefit from the know-how we have accumulated over decades as well as from an extensive development partnership that continuously generates pathbreaking material technologies. Among these are, for instance, customized solutions in the fields of current transmission, hightemperature applications and engineering ceramics for extreme conditions.
With its highly-specialized Thermal Carbon portfolio, Schunk offers innovative materials for effective thermal management.
Latent Heat Carbon, a composite consisting of phase change materials and graphite, stands out due to its high energy storage capacity which can be used for peak temperature buffering. Schunk offers tailormade Latent Heat Carbon solutions for a range of applications. This includes components for battery thermal management, climate control/HVACs in vehicles or electronics cooling.
Aluminium Graphite composites meet the highest thermal management requirements in high-performance power electronics. Aluminium Graphite has a low density paired with a high thermal conductivity and low coefficient of thermal expansion. This makes it the ideal material for highreliability RF, power and microelectronics applications. Schunk Carbon Technology produces a wide range of customized parts with different plating options, such as base plates, heat sinks or soldering jigs.
