The Management
Let us introduce ourselves
Our family-run company is guided by flexibility, reliability and continuity, a practice that informs our day-to-day activities as much as our strategic decisions. For example, the construction of our new plant in Pfaffenhofen is just as much an expression of our dynamic growth as our strong regional roots, motivating us to work tirelessly on creating innovative solutions.
In line with our values, we place the focus on maximum product and service quality as well as on constant ongoing development. This is evident in all areas of the company, where it is shaped by the management and put into practice by our employees.

Company History
The Thöni story from 1964 to the present day
The company was founded in 1964 by Arthur Thöni; although it began life as a metal working shop, it soon began to develop. Only a few years after it was established, a new production building was built in Telfs, which has also since been expanded. In 1970, the company took over the hose production facility of the hundred-year-old company Elsinger & Söhne, and in 1975, the firm’s in-house anodising plant also commenced operations. In 1984, the first of meanwhile four aluminium extrusion presses went into production, marking the start of the industrial manufacture of aluminium profiles. That same year, the company took over the Landeck metal works. Further business units added since then include environmental engineering, casting equipment, and Thöni Automotive Components GmbH. In 2018, work commenced on the construction of a new plant in Pfaffenhofen, with a total hall area of 20,000 m². The new location will house the fifth aluminium extrusion press, in combination with a hydroforming press and fully automated machining plants. It is here that aluminium components for the automobile industry and other sectors are produced since the opening in the year 2019.
