Company history
Creation and nationalization
After the connection , an aluminum works called Mattigwerk (named after the Mattig river ) was built in 1939 by Vereinigte Aluminumwerke AG , Berlin in Ranshofen near Braunau am Inn . After the Second World War, US troops occupied the plant and handed it over to the re-established Republic of Austria in 1946.
The Aluminumwerke Ranshofen GmbH, founded in 1946 by the Republic of Austria, had actually taken over the assets of Vereinigte Aluminumwerke AG , Berlin, which had previously been publicly managed and located in Austria, as a rescue company in 1957 . These production sites, the aluminum smelter in Ranshofen and the bauxite mine in Unterlaussa were nationalized in 1946.
Österreichische Metallwerke Aktiengesellschaft was founded in 1948 by the Republic of Austria and built pressing and rolling mills in Ranshofen for the production of aluminum semi-finished products.
United Metalworks Ranshofen-Berndorf (VMW)
In 1957, Aluminumwerke Ranshofen GesmbH and Österreichische Metallwerke AG merged with Berndorfer Metallwarenfabrik Arthur Krupp AG , Berndorf , which was also nationalized in 1946 , as the receiving company, whose name was changed to Vereinigte Metallwerke Ranshofen-Berndorf AG in connection with this merger. In 1958 the company moved from Berndorf to Braunau. Due to a further merger, Leichtmetall-GesmbH , Vienna-Berndorf, was incorporated into Vereinigte Metallwerke Ranshofen-Berndorf AG in 1958 .
The company had operations in Ranshofen, Berndorf, Amstetten , Unterlaussa and Esslingen am Neckar as well as a forest estate in Halltal near Mariazell . It produced primary aluminum and aluminum alloys in bars, semi-finished products made of aluminum and aluminum alloys, semi-finished products made of non-ferrous metal, metal goods, apparatus and containers, window frames and the like. Like., cutlery, table utensils and gift items, film casting tapes and bauxite. Around 4,400 workers were employed. The company owned all the shares in the non-profit housing company "Arthur Krupp" GesmbH , Berndorf, as well as all shares in JC Klinkosch AG , Vienna, with which there was a tax group. In the autumn of 1960, all shares in the former foreign subsidiaries Societa per Azioni Italiana Metalli ed Argenteria Arthur Krupp , Milan and Berndorfer Metall-Werk AG , Lucerne were acquired.
In 1974, the Vereinigte Wiener Metallwerke AG , the Montanwerke Brixlegg GesmbH against the granting of shares to the Österreichische Industrieverwaltungs-AG , and the Metallwerk Möllersdorf AG against the surrender of the shares in the transferring company with the Vereinigte Metallwerke Ranshofen-Berndorf AG were merged in 1974 to consolidate nationalized industrial companies fused by inclusion. In 1978, Berndorfer Aluminum -verarbeitung GesmbH , Berndorf, was merged through inclusion. Around the same time, with the dispute about the commissioning of the Zwentendorf nuclear power plant, it became known that the VMW Ranshofen, large consumers of electrical energy, were receiving a blatantly low electricity price, which could be seen as a covert promotion of aluminum production.
In 1981 it was decided to build a can factory in Enzesfeld, Lower Austria, which went into operation in 1983. This canning plant was operated by Rexam from 1983 to 2016 .
Restructuring to Austria Metall AG under the umbrella of ÖIAG
In 1984 the final operations in Berndorf and Vienna were made independent and transformed into independent limited liability companies ( Berndorf Metallwaren GesmbH was 100% privatized in 1988 in the form of a management buyout ). At the beginning of 1985 the company was renamed Austria Metall Aktiengesellschaft (AMAG).
As part of a structural concept for the operations of the ÖIAG group decided by Österreichische Industrieholding AG (ÖIAG), which divides the old subgroups into smaller companies according to the principle of coordinated decentralization and reorganized them according to their branch affiliation to branch groups, Austria joined Metall AG implemented a profound restructuring: Austria Metall AG hived off its operational functions retrospectively as of January 1, 1987 into independent companies and concentrated exclusively on functions of a holding company for the non-ferrous metals sector .
The primary aluminum production and processing were transferred to AMAG Metall GesmbH , Ranshofen, the secondary aluminum division into Austria secondary aluminum GesmbH , Ranshofen, the copper smelter division into Montanwerke Brixlegg GesmbH , Brixlegg (this company was transferred to the Metallgesellschaft in 1989 to 51% Austria AG , Vienna), and the copper semi-finished product division was spun off into Buntmetall Amstetten GesmbH , Amstetten (this company was 100% privatized in 1989 in the form of a management buy-out).
At the beginning of 1990 the group was restructured again, which from then on was divided into six group divisions:
- AMAG Metall (electrolysis in Australia and Canada, remelting plants in Ranshofen, Wuppertal and Furth)
- AMAG rolled products (rolling mills in Ranshofen and Unna )
- AMAG Extrusion (BOAL Group, Aluminum Ranshofen Preßwerk GesmbH , AMAG AluTeam Extrusion AG , Aluminumwerk Unna AG , AluTeam Metal Forming GmbH , Unna, AluTeam Wexal, Ireland)
- AMAG molded products (foundry and forging companies in Austria, Germany, Hungary and France)
- AMAG Packaging (European Packaging Holding)
- AMAG systems (further processing of semi-finished products from the areas of rolled products, extrusion and cast products)
In the fall of 1991, the aluminum foundry Villingen GmbH , Villingen-Schwenningen , Germany , was sold to Hans Joachim Schönberg from the molded products division.
privatization
In 1996 AMAG was privatized. Through the management buy-out of Klaus Hammerer (40%) with the participation of Constantia (40%) and the employee foundation (20%). In 2007, Hammerer's shares were sold to Constantia Packaging AG, with the exception of the former AMAG extrusion GmbH ( pressing plant ), which remains in the possession of Hammerers (now HAI Hammerer Aluminum Industries GmbH). In addition, Constantia's purchase of 10% of the employee foundation was finally completed in November 2007.
In 2000, the can factory in Enzesfeld was sold to Rexam and has been part of the Ardagh Group since 2017 .
Since April 8, 2011, the shares of AMAG Austria Metall AG have been traded under the symbol "AMAG" on the official market (Prime Market) of the Vienna Stock Exchange. From September 24, 2012 to September 23, 2013 the company was represented in the ATX . According to its own information, the company has been producing at its Ranshofen plant at 100 percent capacity since 2010.
B&C Industrieholding GmbH has held a voting majority of 52.7% in AMAG Austria Metall AG since October 2014 .
In November 2014, AMAG opened the new hot rolling mill as well as the plate production and the expanded foundry at the Ranshofen location. In June 2017 the new cold rolling mill and the associated final facilities were opened. At the same time, the foundry and recycling capacities were expanded again. The EUR 535 million plant expansion was thus successfully completed. The most modern aluminum rolling mill in Europe is located at the Ranshofen location.
In the 2017 financial year, AMAG's sales exceeded EUR 1 billion for the first time, sales reached a new record with 421,700 tons, and recycling with 348,000 tons of aluminum scrap used. AMAG is thus on a sustainable growth path with a target capacity of more than 300,000 tons in the rolled products sector.
