Inhaber Christine Schröck is a leanly structured service provider that offers flexible and fast operational quality assurance services. The company strives to serve as a reliable partner to its well-known customers and suppliers in the automotive industry. Its well-trained and highly skilled workers, masters, and measurement technicians are available throughout Germany at all hours. In 2009, SONAKO was established by Owner and Director of Global Services Christine Schroeck, who is now accompanied in leadership by her husband Managing Director Torsten Schroeck. The company’s name is derived from its various activities and services, but also happens to be a Japanese feminine first name that means wise and special beauty. This double meaning aptly fits the spirit of its owner. Since its establishment, SONAKO has been carrying out inspections, visual inspections, sorting campaigns, rework, and checks for incoming and outgoing goods. In this, the company is proud to offer 24-hour availability, uniform appearance in work clothes, documentation of the work performed, no unnecessary staff rotation, and high flexibility. Operating in a competitive field, SONAKO sets itself apart from others through its quality, flexibility, and performance. Its processes are certified according to DIN ISO 2009:2015 and can be modified to meet clients’ specific requirements. In 2018, Torsten converted his parents’ house in Ilmenau into a modern residential and commercial building. Today, SONAKO occupies one of the building’s office floors, from which it controls all its operations. Whilst the majority of its work is state-specific, the company has also been active sporadically throughout Germany and adjacent EU countries. For this reason, on top of its centrally located headquarters, SONAKO has service centres in both Thuringia and North Rhine-Westphalia, enabling it to facilitate the countrywide deployment of regional teams. Despite the challenging market conditions and increasing obstacles that plague the EU’s industrial landscape, German car manufacturers still have full order books, primarily due to high levels of quality awareness. However, in combination with the rising cost of raw materials and energy, significant market pressures continue to burden the automotive supplier industry. In these difficult times, SONAKO supports its customers in a futureoriented manner by engaging in dialogue, being part of their network, and concluding strategic partnerships to ensure long-term security of supply. To deliver its services, SONAKO relies on a carefully selected team of qualified specialists. It is also equipped with a number of friendly customer service professionals, whose role is to provide advice and support. They work hard to gain a thorough understanding of the customer’s wishes, needs, and expectations, striving to fulfil their desires and ensure their complete satisfaction. They also arrange fast and individual order processing, based on the customer’s location. Working with SONAKO, customers can expect to benefit from a number of long-term advantages, including increased quality and productivity, the ability to concentrate on their core business, personnel savings, plannability of costs, documentation of work performance, and significant product improvements in terms of safety, environmental compatibility, and durability. Committed to fostering customer satisfaction and building long-term relationships, SONAKO has earned the long-standing loyalty of its customers, suppliers, and employees. As a result of its outstanding services, SONAKO e.K. Inhaber Christine Schroeck has been named Best Quality Assurance Partner, Thuringia, in the German Business Awards 2023. With an impressive track record for success, there is no doubt that the company looks towards a bright future, and we can’t wait to see what it will go on to accomplish in the years to come.
