About us
FS Formteile GmbH is a medium-sized company in the field of rubber and plastic molded parts, founded by Franz Scheschark. It develops, designs, manufactures and distributes technical molded parts primarily for the automotive supplier industry; customers include BMW, Audi, Porsche and the VW Group. Development takes place in-house using modern CAD systems (Catia V5, SolidWorks, ZW3D); designs are verified on prototypes and brought to series-production readiness, with access to all prototype processes (SLS, FDM, vacuum casting, Objet printing). Series production is carried out on injection molding machines with clamping forces of up to 250 t in single-shift operation. In the elastomer segment, EPDM, NBR, H-NBR, FKM and silicone are processed; in the plastics segment, PA 6.6 (also with up to 50% GF), PP, ABS and PBT; in addition, rubber-plastic and rubber-metal composite parts are manufactured. The range of services also includes tool sourcing, painting supplies, and single-part and small-series production. The company is located in Ravenstein-Erlenbach in Baden-Württemberg.
