What Aumüller Aumatic does

AUMÜLLER AUMATIC GmbH is a privately held German Mittelstand manufacturer founded in 1972 and headquartered in Thierhaupten, Bavaria, with 101-250 employees. The company designs and produces electric window drives (chain, spindle, rack and pinion, folding arm, louvre, and locking drives), control units (EMB7300 compact, EMB8000+ modular, EMB7300 Radio), and complete smoke-and-heat-exhaust (RWA) hardware systems under the ferralux®-RWA and vent-Lüftung product lines, plus the specialized LSF7000 lift-shaft smoke-extraction system. Core technology is electromechanical actuation on 24 VDC and 230 VAC with KNX building-automation integration and radio (Funk) variants, and the portfolio is extensively certified to EN 12101-10, ISO 21927-9, VdS, ift Rosenheim, and DIN EN 16763 standards.

The business is exclusively B2B, with revenue generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of drives and control units, supplemented by the AUMÜLLER Academy training services. Customers are addressed via four persona segments (Architects, Specialist Planners, Installers/Contractors, Electricians), reached through a German system-partner network (Brantec, Bremer Sicherheitstechnik, Kalz, KFT, Kirchenkamp, SMI Service, Velten Feuerschutz), international distributors in Switzerland (MINIMAX Zürich) and Austria (Zach Antriebe), and direct enterprise sales from headquarters. Marketing spans a multilingual website (DE/EN/FR/PL/RU/ZH), LinkedIn/XING, newsletter, iOS/Android app, BIMobject distribution, and LogiKal CAD integration. Recent strategic emphasis has been on expanding 230V system architectures (DM 230V SHEV Module, NT Click) and consolidating the chain-drive family (KS2 through KS15, including the award-winning KS8), positioning the company as a top-tier certified specialist in European safety-critical building automation.
