Jyllandsvej 14, 9500 Hobro, DenmarkSintex A/S develops and manufactures powder-metal components and magnetic systems in Hobro. Its range spans stainless steel sintered parts, metal injection moulding, powder extrusion, friction shims, bearing components, filters, permanent magnets, couplings, rotors and soft magnetic composites.
Development work includes design and magnetic simulation, prototypes, magnetization and testing. Sintex manufactures polymer-bonded neodymium magnets and sources several other magnet types from specialist suppliers. Founded in 1997 by former Grundfos employees, Sintex belongs to Grundfos Group and has 170 employees. Its powder-metal duplex development remains an innovation activity rather than an established production promise.
Additional development includes SMC components for axial-flux motors and passive-power systems, high-temperature magnetic couplings and the HoneyComb industrial electric-heating sub-brand. High Hot and HoneyComb performance remains application-specific and includes research or trial-stage results.
Design and tooling integrate complex features into stainless net-shape components for volume production, including pump bases and ventilation plugs; component examples range from a few grams to larger parts of 30–150 g.
