04 August 2017Germany: Aumund has created a new company, Aumund Group Field Service, to carry out industrial installation services on behalf of the group subsidiaries, Aumund Fördertechnik, Schade Lagertechnik and Samson Materials Handling. It will also offer this service to customers outside of the Aumund Group. Its purpose will be to supervise the installation and commissioning of machines as well as servicing, maintenance and repair work. It has amalgamated work previously conducted by the other group subsidiaries.
The new subsidiary was incorporated in July 2017 with Erwin Last as its managing director. It is based in Rheinberg next to Aumund’s headquarters. It has 28 employees.
Germany: ThyssenKrupp is reorganising its Industrial Solutions business area, its division responsible for engineering and construction. It aims to modernise its management structure by focusing on customers and business fields along with integrating the Marine Systems and System Engineering units more closely. The new position of chief operating officer will be created on the business area board for this. In addition, Johan P Cnossen will join the leadership team of Industrial Solutions to aid the reorganisation.
The new structure will be implemented at the start of the new fiscal year on 1 October 2016. Industrial Solutions will then have eight business units: Industrial Specialties, Mining Technologies, Cement Technologies, Electrolysis & Polymers Technologies, Fertilizer Technologies, Services, Marine Systems and System Engineering.
As part of the changes ThyssenKrupp’s plant technology business will be simplified by removing a layer of management. In addition the transformation program will hasten the integration of the company’s plant engineering businesses including Uhde, Polysius and Fördertechnik. Under the roof of Thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions a uniform network structure is now being created that will make it possible to share expertise and capacities across all business units and also integrate Marine Systems and System Engineering more closely.
