Company history
The company was founded in 1964 by Arthur Thöni as a locksmith's business and two years later built its first production building in Telfs . After the takeover of hose production from Elsinger & Söhne in 1970, an anodizing plant was opened in Telfs in 1975 . In 1984 the Landeck metalworks was taken over and the first aluminum extrusion plant was put into operation. In 1991, the Environmental Energy Technology division was founded as an independent business unit that deals with the production of renewable energies from organic waste and renewable raw materials .
In 1995, the subsidiary Alu-Billets was founded in Kempten (Allgäu) , Germany, and is now called Thöni Deutschland GmbH . At the same location, Thöni Manufacturing GmbH became part of the Thöni Group's machine and plant construction in 2010 .
In 2006 Thöni Automotive Components GmbH was founded. At the end of the 2000s, the fourth aluminum extrusion plant was built in Telfs and the Thöni Academy was brought into being.
Today the Thöni Group is represented internationally with locations in Austria, Germany, Italy and the USA. A new production site for the aluminum division in Pfaffenhofen (Austria) with fully automated production processes was opened in September 2019. The fifth extrusion plant in combination with an hydroforming press for hydroforming is in operation at the new location .
