Company Presentation Hirschberg

2

SOBEK specializes in high-quality performance products focusing on engineering services, prototype

development and small series production. We are more than a supplier. We consider ourselves as a partner to

the high-performance segment of the automotive industry. Your project is our project and we assume

responsibility for your success.

This is our philosophy. Proven for 40 years now.

WHO WE ARE. We are your speed boat

The initial roots of our company as well as our main strengths today, center around the motorsports industry with

their special demands on high-performance materials and flexibility.

We know, high-performance automotive does not mean just to add on a sportive element to a serial car.

Both, the motorsports industry and the high-performance automotive segment do have exacting requirements on

quality and unique engineering of components. We push technical possibilities to the limit.

Find out how you can benefit from our wide-ranging experience in motorsports for your project. We want

your small series production. Because small quantities with high requirements are what we are good at.

We are your partner when time is critical. While regular suppliers still remain in the first steering committee you

have our first prototype in your hand.

Which boat do you choose to reach the coast as first? The tanker or the speed boat? We are your speed boat.

WHO WE ARE. Our Values

Passion for our customers

We believe in honesty

not only because it’s

the right thing to do,

but because it leads

to better ways of

getting things done.

We are keeping

agreements and we

believe in having

continuous

communication, even

if the message is not

positive. We are

facing the truth and

we accept the reality.

Together, we can

accomplish what

couldn’t be done

alone. Our success is

based on lasting

relationships that we

have built with our

customers for several

decades.

We empower every

team member to

question the

processes openly and

constructively and

challenge the

standards around

them in service of

continuous

improvement.

Because the best

ideas come from the

floor, not necessarily

from the board room.

We aren’t afraid of a

complex challenge. In

fact, we enjoy them.

We master the

challenging details

that keep OEMs on

the cutting-edge and

help the customers to

be ready when SOP

starts.

Mastering the

complex

We see the big picture

and understand the

role small parts play in

it. When the bar is set

high, we get to do

what we do best: go

beyond convention.

We’ll get our hands

dirty and we’ll get in

the trenches with our

partners to get the job

done. Acting quickly

and result oriented.

Hands-on

approach

Build

trust

True

partnership

Encourage

team work

Our values are our DNA. They guide the way we work with our business partners, within our communities and with

each other.

Prototypes

Small series

No matter which stage of development we are working for you and your project. In the brainstorming phase, in the

CAD design process, in the production of prototypes or in the manufacturing process. Whether for individual parts

or complete systems. We organize, develop, produce, edit and configure until we find the right solution for you.

Our success is based on the integration of our diverse skills. Our teams are staffed interdisciplinary and profit from

each others knowledge together to create our spirit. This is the decisive added value.

What we deliver

• Tube bending

• Hoses

• Compounds (pipe-hose)

• Valves

• Filters

• Electrical drives + ECUs

• Pumps

• Impellers

• Heat protection

No matter if we start with a

specific design specification

from your side or even if you

just have an issue and you

need to fix it quickly – we

will find a solution.

VALIDATE

Product assessment of all

facets is our passion.

Particularly, when sights are

set on very high goals.

WHAT WE DO. Small series

Manufacturing

You call for one-of-a kind products for your new

product development. The requirements of your

prototypes and small series production allowing us

to maximize our strengths to their full extent.

Draw on our expertise in meeting these challenges,

with our manufacturing capabilities for first design

and engineering prototypes, as well as small series

production of complex high-value-add assemblies.

We don’t let your project out of our hands. We are

not just a project management agency. At SOBEK,

we cover the whole value chain - from first sketch to

final part.

We want your small series production. Because

small quantities with high requirements are what we

are good at.
