Managing Director Named for Newly Acquired Drive Company
AMKmotion GmbH + Co KG, a drive and automation portfolio ´óÏó´«Ã½ created by Arburg ownership following its acquisition, will be lead by Stefan Buchner.
AMKmotion GmbH + Co KG will be lead by Stefan Buchner effective March 1, following the earlier acquisition of the electric drive, control and industrial automation engineering technology ´óÏó´«Ã½ by the family owners of Arburg in January.
Buchner studied mechanical engineering at Regensburg University of Applied Sciences before working in the field of drive systems, controller technology and automation.
