S+C Special Products

Machine construction / plant engineering and shipbuilding

Performance from the outset

No other industry place such diverse demands on design, materials and processing as machine construction / plant engineering including shipbuilding. We at S+C meet these requirements with our products from the outset:

With more than 145 years of experience, a groundbreaking material range and a wide variety of production processes, including static and precision casting, alongside centrifugal casting, you can be sure to obtain individual solutions with a good value for money. On request, we collaborate with you starting in the design phase already to find cost and design benefits.

Together we will find the best possible solution for your area of application, whether you need wear-resistant tools for tube bending (mandrels for the Hamburg bending process), components made of martensitic steels, duplex steels for sealing and filtration equipment or components with perfect surface structures for the food processing industry. Whatever you task us with, we will use our manufacturing processes, innovative materials and our teams’ expertise to develop the best possible solution for you.

Plant Engineering:
Static cast elbow during machining
Plant Engineering:
Centrifugally cast Y-flange
Machine construction/Plant engineering:
Selection of centrifugally cast products
Plant Engineering:

Your benefit for individual solutions

“Made by S+C” also means; we check which production method and which material is best suited for your requirement. As high-performance materials, stainless steels made by S+C are as diverse as the requirements for their use and prove their strengths every day in numerous “extreme applications” around the world.

S+C’s various production processes, in combination with its high-quality stainless steels, meet your requirements in terms of performance, cost-effectiveness and individuality. On request, we can also supply our castings in pre- und finish machined condition, which are ready for installation. Individual solutions tailored to your application are our strength.
