Company history
After the establishment of Ferro-Montagetechnik in 1980 in Wels by Heinz Josef Angerlehner, the company moved in 1989 to a new company headquarters in Thalheim near Wels , which was expanded in 2000.
After the acquisition of AE Industrieservice with locations in Graz and Vienna in 2002, FMT Industrieholding was founded in 2003 and has been the top of the group ever since.
In 2007 the founder and majority owner Heinz Josef Angerlehner withdrew from the operational management and took over the chairmanship of the supervisory board .
With the establishment of representative offices in Greenville (USA) and Camberley (Great Britain) in 2009 , the internationalization of the group of companies was started and continued with the establishment of further locations in 2011 in Varna ( Bulgaria ) and in Moscow (Russia) and in 2012 in Johannesburg (South Africa).
In 2013, the group was supplemented by the takeover and foundation of Doubrava Industrieanlagenbau in Atzbach .
In 2010, Heinz Michael Angerlehner, the son of the company founder, was appointed as further managing director of the company alongside Herbert Säumel. In the same year the company headquarters was relocated to the newly built company headquarters in Wels.
From 2013 a museum building was built on the site of the former company headquarters in Thalheim near Wels, which has served the Angerlehner Museum since it opened in September 2013 . In this context, a footbridge was built over the Traun, which connects the museum grounds in Thalheim with the exhibition grounds on the left bank and thus attractively for pedestrians and cyclists with the center of the city of Wels.
On September 23, 2015, four companies in the group filed for bankruptcy in court due to insufficient liquidity. The private museum is not affected.
