Mr. Josep Tomàs Piñol, a renowned mould maker, founded SATYR in 1970, a company dedicated to Aluminium and Zamak injection moulding. This was highly technical and remarkable at the time as it achieved at that early stage, no machining of H7 diameters in Zamak parts as well as significant cost improvements based on automation and simplification of processes.

In 1992, Mr. Tomàs and his son Josep Maria, together decided to dedicate themselves entirely to the injection of Zamak parts, thus achieving the re-fusion of the feeding system of the parts, the so-called “sprue”, allowing the parts to already come out with the shot-blasted finish in the same work station. In other words, manufacturing without waste, an exponential saving through the fact of not using dies and at the same time obtaining the shot-blasted parts without using any staff to do the job, as everything was automated from that moment onwards.

As a result of such technical and productive achievements, an important global supplier to the automotive industry challenged our company to achieve Pivot Housings in unmachined aluminium, however, this was achieved and involved The company’s success was a turning point and it is still going strong with enormous benefits for the automotive supply industry.

Nowadays, the third generation has taken over the reins of Funmak following the philosophy of success: in-depth examination of the part to be manufactured, bringing improvements to our customers. Focused on Lean Manufacturing and minimising production processes as much as possible through Continuous Improvement whilst respecting excellence in quality and service level.
