Hirschberg Company Presentation
WHO WE ARE. We are your speed boat SOBEK specializes in high-quality performance products focusing on engineering services, prototype development and small series production. We are more than a supplier. We consider ourselves as a partner to the high-performance segment of the automotive industry. Your project is our project and we assume responsibility for your success. This is our philosophy. Proven for 40 years now. The initial roots of our company as well as our main strengths today, center around the motorsports industry with their special demands on high-performance materials and flexibility. We know, high-performance automotive does not mean just to add on a sportive element to a serial car. Both, the motorsports industry and the high-performance automotive segment do have exacting requirements on quality and unique engineering of components. We push technical possibilities to the limit. Find out how you can benefit from our wide-ranging experience in motorsports for your project. We want your small series production. Because small quantities with high requirements are what we are good at. We are your partner when time is critical. While regular suppliers still remain in the first steering committee you have our first prototype in your hand. Which boat do you choose to reach the coast as first? The tanker or the speed boat? We are your speed boat. 2
OUR HISTORY. 1975 Company founded by Bernd Sobek 2009 Company succession by Dr. Olaf Hahn and Peter Stöckl 2011 Extension in production depth: CNC manufacturing, 15 CNC milling and lathe machines 2015 More than 70 employees, decades of experience in the automotive sector, certified according to DIN ISO 9001:2008 2013 Broadening of competence: development and manufacturing of brushless high-performance electric motors and ECUs 3
WHO WE ARE. Our Values Our values are our DNA. They guide the way we work with our business partners, within our communities and with each other. Mastering the complex Hands-on approach Build trust True partnership Encourage team work We aren t afraid of a complex challenge. In fact, we enjoy them. We master the challenging details that keep OEMs on the cutting-edge and help the customers to be ready when SOP starts. We see the big picture and understand the role small parts play in it. When the bar is set high, we get to do what we do best: go beyond convention. We ll get our hands dirty and we ll get in the trenches with our partners to get the job done. Acting quickly and result oriented. We believe in honesty not only because it s the right thing to do, but because it leads to better ways of getting things done. We are keeping agreements and we believe in having continuous communication, even if the message is not positive. We are facing the truth and we accept the reality. Together, we can accomplish what couldn t be done alone. Our success is based on lasting relationships that we have built with our customers for several decades. We empower every team member to question the processes openly and constructively and challenge the standards around them in service of continuous improvement. Because the best ideas come from the floor, not necessarily from the board room. Passion for our customers 4
WHAT WE DO.. No matter which stage of development we are working for you and your project. In the brainstorming phase, in the CAD design process, in the production of prototypes or in the manufacturing process. Whether for individual parts or complete systems. We organize, develop, produce, edit and configure until we find the right solution for you. Our success is based on the integration of our diverse skills. Our teams are staffed interdisciplinary and profit from each others knowledge together to create our spirit. This is the decisive added value. Mechanical engineers CAD designers Milling and lathe operators Electrical specialists Project managers Engineering Prototypes Small series What we deliver Tube bending Hoses Compounds (pipe-hose) Valves Filters Electrical drives + ECUs Pumps Impellers Heat protection Apparatus Engineering 5
WHAT WE DO. Engineering Create and validate CREATE No matter if we start with a specific design specification from your side or even if you just have an issue and you need to fix it quickly we will find a solution. Concept generation and feasibility study analysis Design using CAD tools Knowledge based and value engineering Improve performance Improve weight and size Improve reliability Reduction of design cycle time VALIDATE Product assessment of all facets is our passion. Particularly, when sights are set on very high goals. Specification of testing and inspection processes Experimental procedure Interpretation and analysis of test results Monitoring of improvement measures Documentation of test results 6
