Structure
We are state-of-the-art not only technologically, but also in organizational terms. Arnstädter Werkzeug- und Maschinenbau AG is divided into two profit centers (business areas) and one cost center (administration). These areas are independent of one another and market themselves individually. Whenever it is advantageous, we seek to combine the competences of the two business areas on the market. As an internal service provider, the administration section offers the full spectrum of a modern business service.
