A company with tradition –
well-placed to cope with the future
1895 – short time after the invention of the filament
lamp the founder of the company Adolf
Schuch produced the first waterproof lampholder
for a filament lamp. It was made from
porcelain. Thus, he justified his reputation as a
specialist of solving problems appearing under
extreme environmental conditions.
Explosion protected light fittings - the beginning
As from 1910 the first mining light fitting could
be supplied to almost all mines in the Saarland
as well as in the Ruhrgebiet and it could also be
supplied to foreign countries such as South
Africa.
Due to such activities experiences could be gained
on the field of the mine gas and explosion
protection. This special knowledge had been the
basis to a wide-ranging manufacturing program
of explosion protected light fittings that has
constituted a focal point in the company since
1929.
Innovative with a new basic material
Street light fittings and luminaires for industrial
application had been a firm element of the manufacturing
program of SCHUCH at that time already.
It was in the early 50s when the production of
the luminaire housings from glass fibre reinforced
polyester began. Since in those days this material
was a comparatively new product in the
production of light fittings the glass fibre mats
i.e. the so-called „Prepreg“ had been produced
in the Schuch-owned factory as well. From now
on SCHUCH was the first company that put light
fittings from this new material on the market.
Pioneer of modern explosion-proof luminaires
With the worldwide first explosion-proof light
fitting with ECG as well as with the first explosion-proof
luminaire for 2-pin fluorescent tubes
SCHUCH became a pioneer of modern explosionprotected
light fittings for fluorescent tubes.
The „End-of-life Switch-off“ system of fluorescent
tubes in an explosion-proof light fitting
which meanwhile has become a mandatory
point in the standards as well as the first explosion-proof
luminaires for induction-type lamp systems
are further significant milestones
documenting very spectacularly the company's
innovative strengh.
Specialized in extreme environmental conditions
Also in the field of dust / water-proof light fittings
SCHUCH has done a good pioneer work.
The first dust / water-proof light fitting from
glass fibre reinforced polyester and the first foamed
gasket instead of the inserted rubber gasket
are nowadays a standard of the martket and
closely connected with the name of the company.
For more than 60 years SCHUCH has produced
glass fibre reinforced polyester light fittings and
owns a broad know-how in this field. Chemical
and thermal resistance as well as a high stability
of this material have successfully stood the test
especially in the industrial application.
Nowadays and in future - most modern technics
The modern LED technics takes over a continuously
wider scope in the product portfolio of
SCHUCH. Especially its application in the industrial
field is a fascinating challenge for the future.
Envisaging quality - environment obliges
SCHUCH light fittings are a distinctive branded product
„made in Germany“ on the proverbial high quality standard
of which you can rely. This point is documented by
a QS certificate acc. to DIN ISO 9001 which is continuously
reconfirmed by regular Audits. This certificate was
given for the first time in 1995. This quality certificate
comprises all activities of the company from the design
to the sale of the product and it is valid for all areas of
the product and of the manufacturing sectors.
Being a manufacturer of explosion-protected light fittings
and components SCHUCH, moreover, is subject to
an even stronger supervision by PTB with regard to the
quality control of explosion protected products as per
the regulations 94/9 EG. Also this supervision audit was
successfully passed for the first time already in 1999. This
confirmation is subject to a regular repetition.
As to an illumination of power plants SCHUCH is the absolute
market leader. In recognition of the high quality
of the delivered products SCHUCH got in 2009 for the
first time the QA (quality assurance) certificate
acc. to KTA 1401 as a supplier
to all large German
power
plant operating companies.
As a matter of course the SCHUCH company
comes up to her eco-political responsibility.
For ensuring a professional disposal of the packing material
as well as of old equipment acc. to the WEEE rules
SCHUCH is connected to the Recycling System INTERSE-
ROH. Moreover, all products meet the REACH regulation
and the ROHS principle which forbid using certain dangerous
materials.
