Oil is the black gold under the earth’s surface. To reach this precious resource, innovative and extraction technologies are required. Before the fossil fuel reaches us in the form of the familiar end products we use every day, it not only has a history stretching back over millions of years but also has travelled in a long journey. For the last five decades, Eichenberger Gewinde AG’s principal activity has been the design and manufacture of highly accurate and cleverly-designed screw drives. It uses this wealth of experience and technical know-how to support its partners in their process of innovation. Dynamic-mechanical functional elements are highly adaptable, and this means they can contribute significantly to the success of drive technology projects. The Swiss thread specialist is aware of this and makes use of this potential.

Operational safety is crucial around industrial equipment and machinery. This is especially the case around pivoting safety doors, hatches and hoods, which need to be closed to ensure the safe usage and security of machines.
The European REACH regulation, which aims to ensure a high level of protection for human health and the environment, imposes strict rules on the use of chemical substances. Hexavalent chromium used in the surface treatment of numerous SOURIAU products is one of the prohibited substances. With the desire to keep its technical leadership in connectors for harsh environments and to continue to further innovate together with its customers, the research and development department of SOURIAU has invested for several years in research into new manufacturing processes. When completed, these should allow SOURIAU to comply with the regulations imposed by REACH, and at the same time safeguard the employment of its personnel in France for the future.
