The business activities of ATB Austria Antriebstechnik AG encompass the sale, development, production and distribution of electric drive systems and related electronic systems. The Group aims to develop, test and produce optimal drive solutions for its customers and their individual applications and projects. In doing so, the Group draws on an array of technologies, solutions and options in a broad performance range (from 50 watts to 25 megawatts), which are manufactured at a total of ten production sites, are used at three further sales subsidiaries, and are developed further on an on-going basis.
ATB Austria Antriebstechnik AG is domiciled in Vienna and listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange. In 2012 the Group was able to complete numerous projects, as well as to optimise and improve processes in all areas of the business. Notwithstanding the continuing difficult economic conditions in its international markets, the Austrian motor manufacturer was able to maintain the good level of sales revenue achieved in the previous year and markedly improve the operating result year-on-year by 26.0% to EUR 26.8 million (2011: EUR 21.3 million). As at 31 December 2012 the number of employees was 3,509.
In the future, the ATB Group would like to keep growing and become a global player. While the presence was strongly concentrated in Europe so far, in 2012 a number of projects have been started to give the ATB Group a more global orientation. A new sales branch was opened in Shanghai to engage intensively with the Asian market. The Lindeteves-Jacoberg organisation also built three new logistics centres in the U.S. cities of Chicago, Cleveland and Houston. Additionally, the Group has for many years been working with a large number of sales partners worldwide, thanks to which ATB products are now represented on every continent.
