Family-owned window actuator company since 1972

AUMÜLLER AUMATIC GmbH has been developing and manufacturing electric window actuators and control centres for smoke and heat extraction (SHEV) and controlled natural ventilation (CNV) since 1972. The product range includes chain actuators, spindle actuators, rack-and-pinion, folding-arm, louver and locking actuators as well as SHEV hardware systems and control centres under the ferralux®-SHEV and vent-ventilation brands. Production takes place as a family-owned company “Made in Germany” in Thierhaupten in Bavaria, with mechanical and electronic in-house manufacturing depth spanning from product management through production to logistics. Products are made from anodised aluminium and die-cast aluminium, stainless steel, steel, brass as well as plastics such as polyamide and ABS. The products are in use in 72 countries, including in office and administrative buildings, airports, schools and production facilities. Sales and service are provided via system partners and a worldwide network with multilingual support.
