Effective immediately, AMKmotion GmbH + Co KG has introduced Stefan Buchner as its new Managing Director.
Arburg
New MD for AMKmotion
Stefan Buchner
The company, an international technology leader in the electric drive technology, control technology, and industrial automation engineering sectors, has been a member of the Arburg Group since its acquisition by the Arburg entrepreneurial families Hehl and Keinath.
Buchner studied mechanical engineering at Regensburg University of Applied Sciences before gaining experience in the industrial production and planning environment. Before joining AMKmotion, the 39-year-old worked for several years at a medium-sized company in the field of drive systems, controller technology, and automation. In a managerial position, he was responsible for the Development, Production and Quality Management departments, among others.
Hehl and Keinath’s goal in taking over the company was not only to secure the existence of AMK and its customer and supplier relationships for the long term, but also to use future developments to expand existing customer relationships and acquire new ones.
AMKmotion's addition to its logo – "Member of the Arburg Family" – is a striking nod to the company's new status. By making this important acquisition, the Lossburg-based machine manufacturer is continuing its path of managing and expanding all core competencies and associated areas of expertise in-house – enabling the company to independently develop and manufacture all important core components of its products itself in a strategically oriented and sustainable manner.
Arburg has thus significantly expanded its position with regard to end-to-end solutions. This now encompasses machines, application technology, hardware and software for control systems, drive systems, robotic systems, and peripheral equipment.
