The mission statement of the Aumund Foundation is shaped by the character of its Founder Franz-Walter Aumund.
By the time the Foundation was established, Franz-Walter Aumund was the third-generation owner of his family business, enjoying resounding success for more than three decades. Under his tenure the Group of companies had developed into a global business and market leader in its segment of conveying technology. Each of the three generations had its own focus on business development and philanthropic commitment, characterised by the social and economic conditions of the times.
