About A. Schüth GmbH
A. Schüth GmbH is a Hessian company founded in 1891, headquartered in Schotten, specializing in the manufacture of gaskets, stamped parts, strips and die-cut pieces as well as aeration elements. Key manufacturing processes include die-cutting on fully automatic die-cutting machines for large series of up to 150 million parts per year, large-format bridge die-cutting for components up to 2,500 mm, eccentric presses for parts from 3 mm in diameter, as well as cutting plotters, waterjet cutting and lengthwise and crosswise cutting lines for prototypes, small series and roll converting. Materials processed include elastomer-bonded fiber materials such as aramid and cellulose fibers, graphite, elastomers, plastics (including EPDM, silicone, PU, PVC, rubber) and insulating materials such as mica, silicate and mineral fiber panels. The products are used, among other things, in mechanical and plant engineering, electrical engineering, environmental technology, the chemical industry, the automotive sector and in water and wastewater treatment. The offering is rounded out by converting (self-adhesive, laminated), sample production, assembly of complete aerators and application consulting; the company supplies customers in 36 countries.
