At the end of December 2021, a 120 t. machine was replaced by the 130 to. machine, the 80 t. machine was purchased as part of a capacity expansion. We now have 43 injection moulding machines.

The new injection moulding machines are specially equipped with a removal robot and a lateral discharge conveyor belt. This makes it possible to produce parts on a cooling line or to deposit and package parts separated by mould cavity. Both machines are fully electric and enable us to manufacture with high precision and very high repeatability to ensure the required quality.

As an ISO 14000 certified company, we always strive to invest in the latest technologies and to produce in an energy and environmentally friendly way.

SKS AG will be back at Fakuma this year from 12 to 16 October 2021 in Hall B2, Stand B2-2107 in Friedrichshafen. This 27th International Trade Fair for Plastics Processing is the world's leading trade event for injection moulding. We would be pleased to invite you for snacks and drinks and look forward to your visit.

We look forward to seeing you!

Your SKS team

We congratulate our apprentices Mr. Adin Baltic, plastics technologist EFZ (left side) and Matthias Moser, polymechanic EFZ (right side) on passing their final apprenticeship exams.

We are proud of their great performance and wish them both continued success on their paths.

We are very pleased to announce the second step of our succession plan. Karl Steiner, owner and founder of SKS AG, is retiring completely from the operational business after 40 years in management. He will remain with SKS as Chairman of the Board of Directors with his great experience in an advisory capacity.

Ms Valerie Steiner will take over the position of Managing Director from July 2021. She has already been in the business for 11 years and has been responsible for the company's finances and personnel for a long time. Ms Steiner was able to ideally prepare for the position as CEO thanks to this experience.

Together with all members of the executive board, Valerie Steiner will continue to lead SKS AG in the spirit of Karl Steiner and accompany the company into a modern, digitalised and sustainable future. The focus is on ensuring that SKS AG remains a valuable partner for our customers, suppliers and employees at a high technological level.

We are already looking forward to continuing our good cooperation with you and would like to thank you for the great support we receive from you time and again.

Best regards
Your family Steiner

At the end of February 2021, our valued employee and friend Marcel Krapf officially retired after 39 years!

He joined SKS AG on 1 November 1982 as Karl Steiner's first employee and has experienced all phases and times of the company with him. From the beginning, our "Mäse" was always a loyal, eager employee and an absolute team player. From his passion sport "football" he knows that you can only win as a team. He has therefore always ensured good cohesion in the tool shop. Even in difficult times, he let the coach in him and motivated the employees. We are very grateful to Mäse for this and for his always good performance.

He also became a family friend during this long time and it is always nice to chat with him about God and the world. The nicest compliment he gave Karl, however, was when he once said: "You know, Kari, the SKS is also my company!

Fortunately, Mäse Krapf will stay with us for a while after his official retirement. He would like to continue supporting us on a 60% part-time basis until he can finally start his journey in Asia after Corona.

We thank Mäse from the bottom of our hearts and wish him all the best for his new phase of life.

The Steiner family
