Germany: Aumund Group will be run by the Aumund Foundation, following the death of its owner Franz-Walter Aumund in February 2023. The Aumund Foundation, created in 2019, was originally set up to promote the group’s philanthropic concerns, particularly on education, vocational training and research.
Alex van Denderen, the chief financial officer of Aumund Group and Aumund Holding, said “The Aumund Group is led by managing directors who have grown with the company and whose primary focus is on proximity to customers. It pursues the values of quality and reliability which have increasingly become anchored in the Aumund brand over its hundred year history. The Aumund Foundation supports the principle of creating something lasting for others, and is committed to achieving a sustainable future for the next generation.”
The group supplies products and services for conveying, storage, loading and unloading of bulk materials, site service, maintenance, and freight forwarding. It covers process chains in the cement, lime, gypsum, mining, minerals, metallurgy, foundry, power, chemicals, fertiliser and foodstuffs industries, as well as in ports and terminals and alternative fuels. Its subsidiaries include Aumund Fördertechnik, Schade Lagertechnik, Samson Materials Handling, Tilemann Ketten & Komponenten, Aumund Group Field Service and Aumund Logistic.
