History

Based in Aichhalden near Schramberg, the Simon Group has since 1992 been a part of Indus Holding AG. As an international group with around 550 employees, Simon generates turnover of €170 million. The group's four companies are divided into six business divisions that operate in the market both jointly and independently. Having a local presence, quality assurance, an innovative spirit and market focus are all hallmarks of the group's success, as are our highly motivated employees, who feel a strong sense of identity with the company.

Highly automated production processes in the fields of tungsten carbide technology, sintering, plastic injection moulding, electroplating and assembly, combined with the company's own high capacity tool-making operation and materials laboratory, guarantee competitive, technically excellent products. Planned in from the outset, the high standard of quality that is definitive for every stage of the production process keeps wastage low. In line with our company principles, raw materials and thus resources get sparingly used and any burden on the environment is kept as minimal as possible. Wherever viable the company uses in any case environmentally friendly methods and materials.

An important link bonding the group together is the joint administration department. Centralised operations for purchasing, controlling and finance, personnel, IT and quality management create common standards and ensure the benefits of synergy through efficient processes. Many new or enhanced products are developed in close collaboration with our customers. Numerous patents testify to the individual firms and divisions' great innovative skills. The products are developed and made ready for mass production with the aid of cutting edge technologies, such as FEM and rapid prototyping. The work produced in every area thus stands out for its excellent quality and is, indeed, 'Hightech made in Germany'.
