AMAG is all set to transform the aerospace industry with precision innovation

AMAG Austria Metall AG, a company based in Ranshofen, Austria, takes flight with cutting-edge aerospace components, blending high-tech precision and sustainability.

Their subsidiary, AMAG components, located in Übersee at Chiemsee, Germany, and Karlsruhe, Germany, successfully integrated advanced processing facilities. This strategic move is a key part of AMAG's plan to expand and boost efficiency in manufacturing aluminium and titanium components for the aerospace industry.

Gerald Mayer, the CEO of AMAG Austria Metall, expressed the company's commitment to the aerospace industry, stating, "With the current investments in our components business, we are consolidating our position as a strategic supplier to the aerospace industry and lay the foundation for further growth in this area."

The highlight of this development was the introduction of five cutting-edge machining centres tailor-made for producing aerospace components. These centres are designed to work on large-scale parts, measuring up to 4 meters in length and 1.6 meters in width. Emphasis is placed on ensuring high quality, reliability, and dimensional stability in the components, all crucial factors for the aerospace industry.

Modernising the AMAG components sites in Übersee at Chiemsee and Karlsruhe is a significant part of AMAG's long-term strategy. It includes investments in infrastructure, automation, new facilities, and optimising material handling processes. This transformation paves the way for growth in a rapidly expanding market, enhancing productivity and efficiency. The upgraded equipment also upholds the company's "Made in Germany" quality standard, reinforcing safety and reliability in air travel.

AMAG boasts a unique advantage in the aerospace industry by controlling the entire aluminium value chain, encompassing everything from sourcing raw materials like primary aluminium and aluminium scrap to producing rolled products such as aluminium plates and sheets and eventually creating fully assembled components. 

Furthermore, AMAG excels in recycling, efficiently converting aluminium waste generated during component production in Germany into high-quality rolled products at their Ranshofen plant in Austria. This approach not only minimises waste but also conserves valuable resources and reduces CO2 emissions significantly, aligning with the sustainability objectives of the aviation industry.

Gerald Mayer highlighted this unique advantage, saying, "Through the combination of state-of-the-art machining centres with the sustainable production of the input material based on recycling, we support our customers from the aerospace sector in achieving their sustainability goals."

AMAG Austria Metall AG's recent investments and strategic advancements mark a significant step forward in producing aerospace components, contributing to the industry's sustainability and reliability. This move positions AMAG as a leading player in the aerospace supply chain and ensures that the company remains a cornerstone of quality and excellence.
