Aumund celebrates 100 years

With approximately 24 000 references in around 150 countries, the Aumund Group is one of the global players and technology leaders in high-performance conveying and storage of bulk materials. At first Aumund established itself as a global brand in the cement industry, and followed on into the most varied of other key bulk materials industries internationally. Today Aumund Group machines, systems and process technologies are in operation in metallurgy, mining and minerals, lime and gypsum, chemicals – in particular fertiliser, foundries, power plants, agribulk, ports and terminals, as well as in the area of alternative fuels with its current significance in environmental politics and environmental technology. The 100-year history and development of Aumund spans three generations and is inextricably linked with the business leaders Prof. Dr. Ing. h.c. Heinrich Aumund, Günter-Claus Aumund, and Franz W. Aumund (who is currently Chairman of the Advisory Board).

The Aumund Group today comprises the following companies: Aumund Fördertechnik GmbH, Rheinberg, Germany, SCHADE Lagertechnik GmbH, Gelsenkirchen, Germany, SAMSON Materials Handling Ltd, Ely, UK, TILEMANN GmbH Chains & Components, Essen, Germany, Aumund Group Field Service GmbH and Aumund Logistic GmbH, both located in Rheinberg, Germany. The global conveying and storage business is currently driven internationally by 20 locations in Europe, North and South America and Asia, supported by five ServiceCentres in Germany, Hong Kong, USA, Brazil and Saudi Arabia, and reinforced by approximately 80 representations and a network of around 100 supervisors and inspectors who advise on and accompany installation, commissioning and on-site inspections with the PREMAS® Preventive Maintenance Service for Aumund, SCHADE and SAMSON machines as well as for those of other manufacturers.

Effective mid-2022, after 100 years of family management Franz W. Aumund, who had been Managing Proprietor of the Aumund Group for 38 years, has handed over his operational activities to the Management of Aumund Fördertechnik, in the persons of Dr Pietro de Michieli, Reiner Furthmann, and Uwe Altena.

Franz W. Aumund statement:

“From the early stages my objective was to market Aumund machines all over the world, which is today the guarantee for the continuity of the Aumund Group. In 1975 the Aumund subsidiaries in Brazil and Canada were created, followed by USA in 1980, France in 1991, India in 1996, and Hong Kong in 2005. The Aumund rep. office for technology, purchasing and production was opened in Beijing, China, in 1994 and this was followed by the incorporation of the Aumund subsidiary in Beijing in 2006. Aumund has had its own representations in Russia since 2008 and Dubai since 2010. In 2022 an office was established in Indonesia.”
