Schunk Group

Schunk Smart Charging is enabling megawatt charging for battery locomotives operating in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. To achieve the required charging performance of 2.8 MW, four SLS 201 Schunk Smart Charging Pantograph systems are combined in parallel for reliable high-current transmission under real operating conditions. The heavy-haul locomotives use battery systems with 14.5 MWh storage capacity and operate in demanding mining environments with long transport distances and continuous utilization. Applications like this place extreme demands on charging infrastructure. Stable current transmission, durable system design, and high availability become essential for daily operation in heavy-duty rail transport. The project demonstrates how Schunk Smart Charging supports the transition toward battery-electric lokomotive concepts in industrial environments where scalability and operational reliability are critical. Megawatt charging in rail transport is already moving into real-world operation.

Charging infrastructure that keeps electric mobility moving Next Mobility Exhibition 2026 has officially started and our Schunk Smart Charging team is excited to welcome visitors in Milan. Together with Andrea Besana and Gaia Anselmi, we are showcasing charging solutions designed for the growing demands of electric mobility. From reliable charging processes to flexible infrastructure concepts, our focus is on solutions that support efficient everyday operation for e buses and battery driven vehicles. A special highlight at our booth is the new roof-mounted pantograph SLS 104. Based on the proven technology of the SLS 102 and SLS 103, it has been developed to deliver even greater flexibility and performance for modern charging applications. If you are visiting the exhibition, stop by and meet the team. We look forward to the conversations, the exchange of ideas and discussing the challenges shaping the future of charging infrastructure. 🌎 Milan, Italy 📆 May 13–16, 2026 📍 Hall 9 | Booth C02 Schedule a personal meeting: https://hubs.ly/Q04dkPb10 🔗 Learn more about Schunk Smart Charging: https://hubs.ly/Q04dkRDt0

Reliable access to critical materials is becoming increasingly important for modern protection systems. Schunk Technical Ceramics is therefore advancing the development of a European supply chain for ballistic protection plates. The focus is on high-performance materials such as silicon carbide and boron carbide used in body and vehicle armor systems. By working closely with partners from industry and research, Schunk is helping strengthen European manufacturing capabilities and supply security in this field. Thanks to hartpunkt for covering the topic. 👇 Learn more about our ballistic protection and vehicle armor solutions: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dFrQBnpf

Between lectures and volunteer work: Some students stand out because of their grades. Others because of their commitment to helping others. The recipients of the 2026 Ludwig Schunk Awards achieved both. 🏅 The Ludwig Schunk Foundation honored six graduates from Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM) who not only excelled academically, but also dedicated their time to serving their communities — as volunteer firefighters, lifeguards, members of the German Red Cross, or through political and social engagement. That spirit perfectly reflects the values of our founder Ludwig Schunk. From the very beginning, he believed that business success and social responsibility belong together — a mindset that continues to shape Schunk today. As Michael Steinmüller put it during the award ceremony: “It’s obvious that you don’t only think about yourselves, but also about others — and that is exactly what we want to recognize with this award.” Congratulations to Felix Kratz, Jonas Grajetzki, Maximilian Schnell, Melina Karney, Nadja Heuser and Steven Goldmann. We need more people like you. 💙 💚 #SchunkGroup #PassionForTechnology #THM #Leadership #SocialImpact
