What if a single image could change the way you see your colleagues — and yourself? 👀 At our Suzhou plant, we put this idea to the test with OH Cards 🎴— a creative method where participants choose illustrated cards that spark deep discussions about self-perception, #teamwork, and #collaboration. A simple card can reveal how others perceive you, lead to unexpected insights, and help teams connect on a deeper level. Laughter, surprises, and a few eye-opening moments later, our colleagues walked away with stronger bonds, new perspectives, and a fresh approach to teamwork. Who would have thought a simple deck of cards could help create a more open, collaborative workplace? We love trying new ways to bring people together — because great teams don’t just happen, they’re built. 🤝 Let’s pick a card! 🖼️🎴 #hgears #teambuilding #employerbranding #people #suzhou

🌟 Proud to support cancer prevention 🌟 #hGears is delighted to share the Certificate of Appreciation received from LILT Padova- Lega Italiana per la Lotta contro i Tumori - Associazione di Padova, recognizing our contribution to their vital mission. For over 50 years, this organization has been dedicated to cancer prevention and offering care for those affected by cancer. Our support has helped fund the "Luisa" project, which provides free prevention programs for young women with a family history of breast cancer. We are honoured by this recognition and remain committed to promoting health and well-being in our communities. #SocialResponsibility #ESG #LILT

⚙️Helical Compaction: an advanced and efficient technology for high-precision gears. Helical compaction is a special manufacturing process used in #PowderMetallurgy to produce high-precision gears. Instead of machining gears from solid material, fine metal powder is pressed into shape inside a mold and bonded into a solid workpiece through the #sintering process. What makes this process unique is that the mold can rotate while pressing, allowing the creation of helical (twisted) gear teeth directly in the compaction step. With this technology, we achieve: ✅ the ability to form both internal and external teeth — on the inside and outside of a gearwheel or workpiece ✅ increased efficiency, optimising production while reducing waste and the need for secondary machining ✅ greater design freedom, enabling complex shapes that are impossible or costly to achieve with other methods At #hGears, our experts bring together deep technical know-how and high-quality precision manufacturing to develop innovative solutions tailored to our customers’ needs. #HelicalCompaction #mobility #emobility #automotive #powertools #gardening

Moving Towards a Sustainable Future 🌱🌍 #Sustainability is a journey that takes time, and every choice matters – from the energy we use to the materials we choose. It’s more than just figures and certifications; it’s about fostering a culture where every little action helps build a greener planet.   That’s why we’re excited to share that in 2025, as in previous years, our Schramberg and Padova plants will run entirely on 100% #renewable electricity! Every step counts! 👣♻️ #hGears #ESG #WeEnableOutstandingSolutionsForABetterWorld #GearTechnology

Tracking progress on #environmental issues isn’t just about setting goals — it’s about being open and accountable in how we share our journey. That’s why we have disclosed our data on the CDP platform. CDP is a global, independent environmental disclosure system that enables companies to report their environmental impact and measure progress. By sharing our data, we demonstrate our commitment to sustainability and build trust with our stakeholders. Integrating #ESG into our business strategy is essential for long-term success. Being transparent about our efforts helps us stay accountable and contribute to a more sustainable future. 🌿 🌍 #hGears #CDP #sustainability #WeEnableOutstandingSolutionsForABetterWorld

🚀 Simulation, Modelling & Co-Design Services At #hGears, we help our customers move from concept to production with advanced modelling, simulation tools, and a co-design approach. 🎯 Why modelling and simulation matter Our Advanced Engineering team uses sophisticated Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software, like Romax Technology, Ansys, and SMT, designed for e-Mobility and drive systems to predict and optimise performance right from the start. By combining #modelling (creating detailed virtual representations of components) and #simulation (analysing their behaviour under real-world conditions), we can: ➡️ Simulate how components behave under specific circumstances - whether as single parts or within complex drive systems ➡️ Optimise gear layouts, microgeometry, and material choices for better efficiency and durability ➡️ Analyse NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) for smoother, quieter performance With our advanced tech and decades of experience, we deliver real benefits to our customers: ⏱️ Faster time to market: Agile processes and streamlined manufacturing speed up innovation and production ✅ Better quality: Our expertise in cut metal and powder metal technologies ensures optimised performance and reliability 💰 Cost efficiency: Our co-design approach saves resources and time while maximising value 🏭 Manufacturing focus: Optimisations are tailored to ensure designs are developed for efficient mass production, combining performance with scalability With hGears, customers gain a partner that integrates modelling, simulation, design, and manufacturing under one roof. This ensures smooth collaboration, exceptional results, and improved efficiency. Ready to turn your ideas into reality? Let’s engineer the future together! #CoDesign #SimulationTools #Engineering #innovation #Mobility #eMobility #eTools #gears

⚙️ Achieve Precision with Powder Metal Technology ⚙️ At #hGears, we offer an alternative to conventional machining for manufacturing precision gears and components: powder metallurgy. This process enables the creation of high-performance components with tight tolerances, ideal for numerous applications across various industries. Why choose sintered parts? 🚗 Automotive: Used in oil pumps, water pumps, and gearboxes for reduced weight, friction and noise. 🚲 e-Bikes: Precision parts optimise transmission systems, reducing weight and enhancing efficiency. 🔧 Power Tools: Sintered gears improve power transmission and performance while lowering costs. Benefits of sintered components ✅ Complex geometries and tailored properties ✅ Balance of cost, precision, and durability ✅ Sustainable with minimal waste ✅ Lower costs for high-volume production ✅ Reduced weight for improved efficiency in vehicles and comfort in tools At hGears, we have the ability to produce #sintered blanks, which can be further processed in-house using metal cutting techniques. This is especially useful for prototyping when molds are unavailable, allowing for rapid, precise development and reducing lead times. Only a few competitors have the ability to offer both technologies from a single source. This capability makes us a preferred partner in the industry. #PowderMetallurgy #ConventionalMachining #CutMetal #sintering #mobility #automotive #PowerTools #OutdoorApplications
