What AUMO does

AUMO GmbH is a German custom special machinery manufacturer (Sondermaschinenbau) headquartered at Gartenstraße 42, 01445 Radebeul near Dresden, founded in 1990 as AUMO-Heinze Montagetechnik and operating as a private family-owned GmbH since 2009 under Managing Director René Rösler. The company develops and builds individualized production equipment across four technical platforms: fiber composite processing (Faserverbund) including winding, consolidation, fixation, preform layup, and optical CFRP measurement; automation (Automatisierung) covering assembly, testing, dispensing, screwing, riveting, deburring, and surface inspection; coating technology (Beschichtung) for automotive glass adhesives, thermal paste, SOFC fuel cell plates, CFRP bonding, and laser surface structuring for EV battery components; and rack/frame technology (Gestelltechnik) delivering aluminum profile-based frames, workplaces, trolleys, and safety equipment. A complementary component trading business (Komponentenhandel) offers AUMO's own aluminum system profile — compatible with Bosch Rexroth and Item standards — together with over 3,000 stocked articles via the aumoonline.de shop, and a dedicated technical service and modular retrofitting line supports installed equipment.

AUMO operates a project-based, direct-sales model in which engineers are integrated into customer development teams and solutions are delivered turnkey from the single Radebeul site, covering consulting, CAD construction, control programming (Siemens SPS, CoDeSys, C++), manufacturing, assembly, and commissioning. Quote-based pricing applies to custom machinery projects, while standard components and retrofit packages follow unit-based or service-based pricing models. The customer base is concentrated in European industrial manufacturing — automotive, aerospace, electrical industry, and power tools — together with universities and research institutes; specific end-customer logos are not publicly disclosed. Additional capability streams include additive manufacturing of forming tools (Lasercusing) with conformal cooling channels, manufacturer-independent plant retrofitting, and serving as an EFRE-funded innovation partner for regional development initiatives.

Product overview

AUMO GmbH is a German custom machine builder and component manufacturer based in Radebeul (near Dresden), operating as a future-oriented service company for science and industry. The product portfolio is organized as a platform of specialized business segments: (1) Faserverbund (Fiber Composites) — custom machines for winding, consolidating, fixing, testing, separating, joining, gluing, and positioning of fiber composite materials including dedicated systems for aerospace applications; (2) Automatisierung (Automation) — custom machines for assembly, measurement, testing, process assurance, and joining across industries including automotive, electrical, and precision engineering; (3) Beschichtung (Coating) — specialized coating plants for fuel cell components (SOFC), automotive glass adhesive systems, thermal paste application, and laser surface structuring; (4) Gestelltechnik (Rack/Frame Technology) — standard and custom frame structures, workplaces, safety equipment, trolleys, and specialized products (nitrogen storage cabinets, watchmaker benches) built on modular aluminum profile systems; (5) Komponentenhandel (Component Trading) — aluminum system profiles compatible with Bosch Rexroth and Item systems, fasteners, accessories, lifting columns, and LED lighting with over 3,000 stocked articles; and (6) Service modules — engineering (CAD construction, SPS programming), manufacturing, consulting, and technical support. AUMO develops, manufactures, assembles, and commissions all products at its Radebeul facility. Since 2013, AUMO has produced its own aluminum profile system as a substitute for the Bosch Rexroth and Item systems.
