Aumann AG: E-mobility specialist Aumann AG plans IPO - Seite 2

In order to strengthen its leading market position and serve the strongly growing market demand, the company plans an IPO to create a solid basis for its future development.

E-mobility revolutionises the automotive industry

"Large car manufacturers count on pure and hybrid electric motors for the drivetrains of the future. The range of electric vehicles is increasing, their prices are falling and stricter carbon emission legislation are leading to an irreversible revolution in the automotive industry. Aumann is a technological leader for critically needed series production solutions of highly efficient electric motors. Therefore, we are benefitting extraordinarily from the e-mobility trend", says Ludger Martinschledde, who is Co-CEO and responsible for operations and technology.

On the basis of market studies, Aumann expects an increase in the global production of electric vehicles (including hybrids) from 2.5m units in 2015 with a compound annual growth rate of c. 30% to around 32.1m vehicles in 2025. The core markets of the company, namely Europe, the Americas and China, are expected to grow at an even higher rate of more than 40% per year. Another important trend is the increasing number of electric traction motors per vehicle, leading to an even higher demand for fully automated production lines. Furthermore, Aumann technology offers numerous advantages for other aggregates and actuators within the vehicle which makes the company a beneficiary of the electrification within cars.

Aumann is ideally positioned

"Automotive OEMs are increasing their capacities for the serial production of electric vehicles already today. As Aumann is frequently involved in the development process of the traction motor and production lines are commonly ordered two years ahead of the start of serial production of the electric vehicle, we benefit from the e-mobility revolution a lot earlier than others. Our around 600 highly skilled employees are already today working on the electric drivetrain concepts we will see on the streets in two to three years." explains Rolf Beckhoff, Co-CEO responsible for sales.
