Aumann AG: E-mobility specialist Aumann AG plans IPO - Seite 3

In the past, electric vehicles were niche products for automotive OEMs and were produced in relatively small volumes. The production thereby was comparable to that of "manufactories". In order to produce the volumes automotive OEMs have announced for the near future, highly automated production technologies are required. The core technology for the production of electric traction motors is the winding of copper wires inside the stator and rotor. This is one of the key challenges OEMs face, as conventional winding technologies can only be automated to a limited extent. Aumann, on the other hand, is specialised in direct winding technologies which ensure fully automated production and allow meeting automotive quality requirements.

In addition, Aumann's technology does not solely enable automated production in line with automotive standards. At the same time, it raises efficiency and power density of the motor by increasing power per kilogram of motor weight. Compared to traction motors produced with conventional technologies, motors produced with Aumann technology require less copper wires and ultimately less space and less weight. In electric vehicles the higher efficiency of the motor leads to higher battery range. Aumann's e-mobility offering is completed by solutions for the production of battery modules.

In its Classic segment, which constitutes the foundation for the e-mobility growth, Aumann has decades of experience as designer and manufacturer of automated production lines for automotive OEMs. The company holds a strong market position through technologically unique solutions for the production of built camshafts, cylinder deactivation modules as well as structural and lightweight components. In addition, this segment comprises winding solutions for other industries, e.g. for Consumer Electronics. The automation know-how gained in the Classic segment accompanied by the high trust of leading automotive OEMs, give Aumann a unique position for the planned growth in the E-mobility segment.
