Transportation
High-performance components powering advanced mobility solutions – from conventional ICE drivetrains to electric vehicle platforms.
AMFT has been providing precision metal parts to the transportation industry for over 160 years, using the latest materials and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes. We develop and produce custom springs, washers, wire forms, and metal stamping components that meet the cost and supply demands of this innovative market. Our technology supports modern, high efficiency, light weight, energy saving designs with high-cycle durability. We have repeatedly enabled solutions that can replace more expensive components while offering technical improvements.
We create assemblies and custom solutions with integrated systems – using welding, riveting and press-fit operations – for streamlined supply chains. Our advanced processes include fineblanking, progressive stamping, and automated sorting that provide high-cycle, fatigue-tested solutions for demanding environments.
AMFT components can be found in all platform subsystems – powertrain, transmission, steering, suspension, fuel, HVAC, and chassis. We help OEMs reduce lifecycle costs and deliver superior vehicle reliability.
Thanks to our intelligent logistics process, we are able to meet short-term customer requirements quickly and reliably. AMFT makes supply logistics easy with scalable, sustainable global production.

E-mobility
With deep product expertise and advanced process know‑how, we are an approved development partner and series supplier for electrically powered vehicles.
We help shape the automotive industry’s e‑transformation by delivering innovative solutions tailored to the demanding requirements of electrified drive systems. Through continuous development, we optimize everything from friction behavior to noise emissions in e‑drive concepts – challenges that require specialized expertise in product design, materials, and manufacturing processes.
Gearboxes
Our components are used in automatic, dual‑clutch, CVT, and manual transmissions, where they meet the highest technical standards and perform critical functions.
Our patented intermediate plates precisely control hydraulic fluid flow, improving shift quality without the need for additional sealing media. This results in cost savings and environmental benefits.
We also produce millions of precision thrust washers – engineered for outstanding dimensional accuracy and wear resistance – and continuously validate performance through rigorous testing. Our patented HSD‑structured thrust washers exemplify this capability: their friction‑optimized design reduces wear for maximum durability and long‑term reliability.
Axle Gears
Our compensating discs and adjusting washers ensure precise tolerance balancing during assembly, with thickness gradients as fine as 0.01 mm and tolerances up to ±5 μm. For applications requiring exceptional wear resistance, our spherical thrust washers with HSD structure deliver reduced friction, minimized wear, and outstanding durability.
Engine technology
We manufacture high‑precision gearshift linkages for turbochargers that meet stringent requirements for corrosion protection, wear resistance, and dimensional stability.
Our cup plugs – developed to DIN standards, customer specifications, or our own patented designs – set industry benchmarks for sealing performance and secure force‑fitting.
We also engineer advanced lost‑motion springs designed to enhance engine efficiency through optimized spring technology.
Suspension
AMFT supplies highly engineered rebound springs that enable vehicle manufacturers to fine‑tune suspension characteristics to meet demanding performance requirements.
