About Schöndorf Metallwaren & Newrox
Paul Schöndorf Metallwaren GmbH in March-Buchheim near Freiburg im Breisgau has been active in metal processing since 1948 and has been under Swiss ownership since 1989. The company manufactures supply parts in the field of chipless metal forming as well as its own medical technology products. Sheet metal processing covers materials from aluminum to stainless steel with thicknesses of 0.6 to 6 mm and processes such as cutting, punching, bending, edging, deep drawing, welding, riveting, and surface treatment by tumbling, brushing, sandblasting, and degreasing. Deep drawing and punching/pressing are particularly suitable for series from 1,000 units; for smaller quantities, hydromechanical deep drawing is used. The company specializes in surgical articles, sterilization containers, and laboratory containers in accordance with medical standards, as well as assembly work on devices and assemblies for medical applications. The company works closely with Newrox AG, headquartered in Aesch near Basel, a trading and distribution company for household and gastronomy products. Since 2012, Schöndorf has operated an environmental management system and produces almost CO2-neutral with its own PV system.
