REPORTS ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURING, MATERIAL TECHNOLOGY AND THE PRACTICAL APPLICA-
TIONS OF ENGINEERING SPRINGS AND ON THE SYSTEMS, MACHINERY AND TOOLING DIVISIONS OF THE SCHERDEL GROUP
Dear reader,
As far as small and medium-sized
businesses are concerned, political
decisions must provide equal opportunities
in relation to competition,
and greater scope for business enterprise.
This applies especially to
a key industry such as automotive,
which is an important factor in
promoting economic growth, and to
the automotive parts industry in particular.
In recent years, however, the
political framework has deteriorated
to a considerable extent. Take the
amendments to the Employees' Representation
Act, the laws concerning
working hours, or tax legislation, for
example. In addition, there are the
questions relating to financing which
have been raised by "Basel II". To
an increasing extent, banks are refusing
to provide the loans which are
essential for a company's survival. At
the same time, the automotive parts
suppliers have extended their activities
to include development work, for
example, which means that they
need more capital. The possibilities
for economising and reducing costs
are practically non-existent. According
to the experts, the small and
medium-sized business sector is
likely to be hit by a wave of bankruptcies
on an unprecedented scale.
The failure of automotive parts suppliers
in this sector could lead to bottlenecks
in the supply chain for system
manufacturers and OEMs. Let
us make a joint effort to bring about
the necessary political reforms.
Please help to ensure that the BDI
and VDA "Fairness Regulations" –
which were signed by all those involved
in our trade – are observed.

The new SCHERDEL staff participation company MBS
very employee acts as an 'entrepreneur'
at his own workplace.
For years now, this has been the motto
of Group Managing Director Walter
Bach and, with the formation of a staff
participation company, it has now taken
on an added significance: SCHERDEL
staff can now become sleeping partners
in the Company. The new scheme
is being introduced in the 30
SCHERDEL companies in Germany,
with approximately 2,000 employees.
Within the SCHERDEL Group, which
operates at global level, the staff participation
scheme can be seen from different
points of view. At a staff meeting,
Michael Lezius, Director of the working
party "Partnership in German Trade
and Industry", emphasised that the
main aim in operating a firm on a partnership
basis was to enhance economic
efficiency. He mentioned the following
points: non-hierarchical structures,
staff taking responsibility for their own
work, group work in the production and
administration departments, quality
management, shared responsibility as
a result of participation in the company,
and a flexible approach to company
organisation. According to Mr Lezius
the factors for success are: increases
in the amount of private capital, improvement
in productivity, rise in per
capita sales and enhanced return on
capital employed. In his opinion, staff
participation leads to improvement in
working atmosphere, a more efficient
Employees' Suggestion Scheme, and
increased cost awareness. An additional
reason for introducing this
scheme is the fact that it will meet the
requirements for subsidies provided by
the Ministry of Economic Affairs in Saxony.
Group Managing Director Walter Bach
said he would regard it as a sin of
omission if they did not introduce the
staff participation scheme. He was
certain that companies operating on a
partnership basis had a greater chance
of success. (Reiner Bittner)

COMPANY PROFILE
Staff profile
We'd like to introduce staff members
to you who will act as your
contact if required.
Klaus Katholing,
Works Manager at the Röslau
compression spring factory
Klaus Katholing (50), Works
Manager at the newest member of
the SCHERDEL "family", the Röslau
compression spring factory, is
a genuine "SCHERDEL product".
On 01.09.1966 he started as an
industrial management trainee and
on completing his training he was
called up for military service. Returning
to SCHERDEL in 1973,
Klaus Katholing was employed at
Christian Eberl KG in Röslau, a
company which had been taken
over by SCHERDEL the previous
year, and today he is Works Manager
there. It should be noted that
the Röslau factory was also responsible
for the commercial and
technical departments at the
SCHERDEL subsidiary Flauger &
Flämig. During the 80s Mr Katholing
was made an authorized clerk
and in 1994 he was given full signing
power. One important assignment
for him and his team was the
setting up of the Röslau compression
spring factory. Here too, his
experience as Works Manager
stood him in good stead and, true
to his motto "New tasks mean new
opportunities", he is pleased to report
that six months after the formal
opening ceremony production
is in full swing.
Klaus Katholing is married and
has a daughter aged 20 and a son
aged 22. He has been keen on
sport since he was a child and, in
addition to going on long cycling
tours, he still acts as goalkeeper
for a veterans' football team.
Production in
full swing
SCHERDEL subsidiary Röslau compression
spring factory working to capacity
I
n Röslau in Upper Franconia, the
SCHERDEL Group has spent a huge
amount on setting up one of the biggest
production units for compression
springs in Europe. The Röslau compression
spring factory, which covers
an area of approximately 7,500 square
metres (including office buildings), is
concerned exclusively with the manufacture
of conical and cylindrical compression
springs ranging from 0.10 mm
to 2.5 mm in size. The large production
hall houses 170 machines and items of
equipment including automatic coiling
machines, grinders, shot-peening
equipment, and automatic testing and
setting machines. With a staff of 180,
the factory processes about 2,000 tons
of material a year for customers from
every branch of the automotive industry.
In addition to the need to keep pace
with global competition, the main reason
for this project was the lack of
space at the Leutendorf and Eberl/Röslau
factories. The question was whether
to erect a new building or to make use
of the comparatively new premises of
the former Winterling porcelain factory.
It was finally decided to give a new
lease of life to the building which was
lying idle – in other words: "Engineering
springs instead of cups and saucers".
Despite this "new building" the original
company in Röslau, Christian Eberl KG,
has been retained. Here, torsion and
tension springs will continue to be
manufactured, in addition to stampings,
pressings and wire shapes. Christian
Eberl KG also houses the tool-making
shop and the maintenance department,
and it is the main centre for the training
of apprentices. At SCHERDEL we have
Although the Röslau compression spring factory has only been in operation for a few months, production
is already in full swing. Despite the problems facing the automotive industry and the associated
economic stagnation the order book is well filled.
always set great store by in-house
training for those responsible for setting
up the machinery, and for other specialists,
to prepare them for their future
tasks.
By the way, the continuity of our Röslau
location is underlined by the fact
that exactly 30 years ago the company
known as Christian Eberl KG was taken
over by SCHERDEL. "Progress based
on tradition": this motto also applies to
Röslau. (Reiner Bittner)

Backlog of reforms requiring
to be carried out
Economic expert Professor Wolfgang
Wiegard in Marktredwitz
P
rofessor Wolfgang Wiegard, one of
the "five wise men", came to Marktredwitz
to give a talk at the instigation
of Group Managing Director Walter
Bach. In the SCHERDEL Tower, Professor
Wiegard, an economist who has
been a member of the advisory board
of the Federal Ministry of Finance since
1990, examined the present economic
situation and indicated possible ways
out of a seemingly hopeless state of affairs.
He stated that the period of economic
stagnation was over and that he
expected to see an upward trend in the
final quarter of this year. There was,
however, a considerable backlog of reforms
requiring to be carried out.
Germany leads the field as far as a
high level of taxation is concerned and,
in Prof. Wiegard's opinion, this has disastrous
consequences. In the course of
his talk he warned the trade unions not
to make excessive wage demands –
anything over 2.5% would mean a loss
of jobs – and he said there was an ur-
gent need for the Government to do
something about the benefits paid to
people out of work, for example: "Instead
of paying unemployment benefit
to people for doing nothing, it would be
better to give wage subsidies to the
employer". The following factors also
have an adverse effect: the amendments
to the Employees' Representation
Act and the fact that internal wage
agreements are not permitted. Prof.
Wiegard also deplored the inefficiency
of decision-making processes and
called for a reorganisation of federal
structures.
The event was arranged by the Marktredwitz-Selb
Industry and Commerce
Panel, the CDU-CSU Economic Advisory
Board, the Working Party for Industrial
Affairs and the Steinwald-
Fichtelgebirge Academy. (Reiner Bittner)
Numerous representatives of trade and industry received firsthand information from the economic expert
Professor Wolfgang Wiegard, 2nd from the right. The photo also shows (from left to right) Franz-

Staff profile
We'd like to introduce staff members
to you who will act as your
contact if required.
Dr. Hilmar Brödler, Head of
the Development Department
Dr. Hilmar Brödler (40) is a native
of Baden. He attended the Grammar
School in Mainz where he gained his
A levels. From 1982 to 1986 he studied
traffic safety engineering at the
University of Wuppertal and took a
degree in mechanical engineering.
He then devoted himself to accident
research at DEKRA for two years, after
which he spent two years at the
Institute for Ergonomics at the Technical
University in Munich where he
completed the thesis for his doctorate.
From 1990 to 1994 Dr. Brödler
was employed at Robert Bosch
GmbH and he has been working at
SCHERDEL since 1995.
Having played an important part in
setting up the new companies in the
USA and the Czech Republic, Dr.
Brödler is now Head of the Development
Department and thus responsible
for product development within
the Group. He regards this as a
"very exciting task" – especially the
work connected with strategic product
planning. At SCHERDEL the
whole field of research and development
has acquired a high level of
strategic importance and this is
something which has been taken into
account in the setting up of a new organisation
(see report elsewhere in
this edition). As soon as possible,
further steps are to be taken to make
the existing resources available to
our clients and to the Group as a
whole. Of course this is linked to the
important task facing us in the future:
the internationalisation of product development
work in line with the internationalisation
of the Company.
From this it is evident that Dr.
Brödler attaches great importance to
innovation and change. As departmental
head he is energetic, full of
optimism and a firm believer in teamwork.
He is in the habit of illustrating
his philosophy with appropriate sayings,
such as "Electric light wasn't invented
by improving the candle".
Dr. Brödler is married and has two
children. Most of his spare time is
spent with his family and his hobbies
include skiing and music.
At SCHERDEL the focus
is on the customer

O
ur activities are aimed at fulfilling
our customers' wishes. In view of
the large number of projects, this presents
a considerable challenge and so
we have given a lot of thought to the
question of how we can make co-operation
between customers, Sales and
Development Departments even more
effective and more efficient.
First of all the special status of development
work in co-operation with the
customer was underlined by the fact
that this area became an independent
department. Dr. Hilmar Brödler (see
CV) has been head of this department
since March 2002. He is responsible
for all activities relating to development
work within the Group and within the
Prototype Division, which is part of it.
The developers co-operate closely with
the key account managers of the Marketing/Sales

time, a matrix structure optimises functional
expertise in relation to the different

DUPLEX coatings
for springs
Alternative coating process provides cost-optimised
corrosion protection
T
he regulations pertaining to the disposal
of used cars, which will
come into force in 2003, will only permit
the use of hexavalent chrome as a
constituent of anticorrosive coatings to
a maximum of 2g per vehicle. For the
distant future, various car manufacturers
are planning to produce vehicles
which are completely chrome-free. This
means that, in relation to springs, chromating
will no longer be permissible.
In the spring manufacturing industry,
chromating was only carried out to a
limited extent with zinc electroplating,
the reason being that – because of the
high-strength material used for springs
– electroplating always entails the risk
of hydrogen embrittlement. As an alternative,
chromating was applied to
springs made from wire drawn after galvanising.
Admittedly, this didn't improve
the appearance but the anticorrosive effect
was enhanced considerably. For
many applications, especially in the automotive
industry, the service life attained
from this method no longer
meets today's requirements.
In order to satisfy the customers' increasing
demands, wire manufacturers
optimised the hot-dip galvanising
process and introduced zinc/aluminium
coating for wire. Of course, for years
now there have been spring coating
systems on the market which offer sat-
isfactory protection against corrosion.
The main systems are Delta Tone/Delta
Seal and Dacromet. SCHERDEL has
been using the Delta MKS coating system
for about 20 years now because it
combines the advantage of a low firing
temperature (which maintains the hardness
of the spring and the favourable
residual stress values) with a chromefree
coating. Admittedly, the coating
procedure usually has to be repeated
several times.
A systematic range of tests has con-
firmed that the Duplex coating system
for springs provides a satisfactory alternative
to chromating. It combines the
positive characteristics of hot-dip galvanised
or Zn/Al coated wires with an
organic sealing process (for example a
Delta Seal coating) for the springs. This
provides cost-effective corrosion protection,
since the galvanised wire doesn't
cost much more than the bare wire and
fewer coating operations are required.
Another advantage is that, when subjected
to certain types of corrosion, the
service life of the wire is improved. With
Delta Seal the coating can also be
coloured, the procedure being similar to
that of chromating. It has also been
shown that in relation to the duration of
corrosion protection Duplex coatings do
very well in the salt spray test and in
the Kesternich test in particular.

SCHERDEL-SPONSORING
14-year-old Dominik Schraml
from Wiesau is one of the top
German kart drivers. This lad
from the Upper Palatinate can
hold his own against the best of
the works teams. However, his
dream is a career in formula
racing.
The photo shows him "trying out"
Nick Heidfeldt's racing car.
Following in Michael
Schumacher's footsteps
SCHERDEL sponsoring: go-kart driver Dominik
Schraml – one of Germany's top-notchers
O
ur aim is to sit in a formula racing
car in 18 months' time", says Dominik's
father Josef confidently, while
his son nods in agreement. He's not
much of a talker and prefers to leave
that sort of thing to his dad who gives
him every encouragement in his hobby.
When it's a question of daring overtaking
moves, tactical late braking manoeuvres,
and quick spurts, Dominik
comes into his own as he races round
the track in an attempt to make the best
time. This 14-year-old karting enthusiast
from Wiesau in the Upper Palatinate
region, who is sponsored by
SCHERDEL, is such a talented driver
that he ranks with the top German performers
and frequently outclasses the
works teams, who have a much greater
stock of material to draw on. His go-kart
can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in
3.5 seconds and can reach a top speed
of 140 km/h.
Five years ago, at the age of nine, he
was keen on football, like many boys of
his age. However his former idols, Oliver
Bierhoff or Mehmet Scholl, have long
since been replaced by Michael and
Ralf Schumacher or David Coulthard.
During football training sessions he noticed
young go-kart drivers on a neighbouring
track and that was the start of a
career which is now in full swing. In
events at county and regional level he
frequently came in first or ranked with
the best, and he was often the
youngest driver in the field. After just
two years this lad from Wiesau was
runner-up to the Bavarian Champion
and one year later he ranked with the
top drivers in Germany. After one year
Dominik had changed over from slalom
to circuit racing.
The season started well for Dominik
on Good Friday at the ADAC Kart Cup
meeting at Oschersleben. During the
open training session he made the best
time in a field of 39 competitors, and
during the two races he led the field for
much of the time. However, his choice
of tyres was not quite right and so he
didn't gain 1st place although, at the
end, he was up there with the winners.
This year the main event for our talented
kart driver will be the International
German Championship. This series
consists of seven races which will take
place at locations such as Ampfing in
Upper Bavaria, in Berlin, near Frankfurt
and in Braunschweig. Dominik knows
that he has to do well here but it
doesn't worry him. On the basis of his
previous performance he can afford to
be optimistic. In the opinion of the
Schraml family, Dominik's greatest success
was when he gained the Best
Newcomer Award at the Jörg von Ommen
Cup in 2001. And his fame has
spread beyond the German border too:
this year for the first time he expects to
receive an invitation to take part in the
Monaco Cup with an international field.
Of course the Schraml team, which includes
a very enthusiastic technician
from Dresden, would be really keen to
take part in the European Championship,
but it still depends on the financial
situation. The Wiesmann Roadster Kart
Team have promised their support, and
a contract with Bridgestone, the tyre
manufacturer, will also be a great help
to Dominik, who has had to depend on
his own resources so far.
The Schraml family are thinking well
ahead. "2003 will be a crucial year for
us", says Mr Schraml. Dominik will then
be too old for the Junior Class and will
move into the Senior Class. How long
will he be able to go in for kart driving?
Normally it would be up to the age of
about 17 but it depends on how quickly
he grows. They hope that by then the
course will have been set for his future
career. Will the dream come true? Father
and son are optimistic: "We won't
give up until we're convinced it's impossible".

COMPANY NEWS
A global approach:
SCHERDEL Service Centers
Worldwide network of sales branches provides
advisory service for customers
S
ince the Company was founded
more than 112 years ago
SCHERDEL has had an innovative approach
and has been committed to
progress at all times. This can be said
of many spheres of activity but in particular
it applies to our Company's number
one aim: customer satisfaction.
With 23 locations worldwide
SCHERDEL is always within reach of
its customers. Day in, day out, numerous
staff members in the production
and administration departments endeavour
to provide customers with the
support and information they require.
One of SCHERDEL's main challenges
at present is the restructuring of the decentralised
sales organisation. Here,
activities are focused on setting up the
"SCHERDEL Service Centers". This
term refers to a decentralised network
of sales branches operating on a worldwide
basis and staffed by qualified employees
who are ready to provide information
and advice. By providing local
contacts, these Centers will ensure that
we establish an even closer relation-
ship with our customers.
Another aim will be to open up new
markets and win new customers, in addition
to developing new product fields.
At the same time the intention is to use
the synergy effects available within the
Group and to provide an even more extensive
presentation of our range of
products and services. One of the Ser-
vice Centers' important tasks will therefore
be to represent the interests and
potential of the whole SCHERDEL
group in the marketplace: from spring
production to mechanical engineering,
automation technology or toolmaking.
The first Centers have already been
set up in Germany and abroad. Other
locations will be established in the
course of this year. In the short and the
medium term, the aim is to extend the
global presence of the SCHERDEL
Service Centers even further.
