Aumund keeps afterservice going During the current coronavirus pandemic, Schade’s parent group Aumund emphasises its after sales service, as many customers, from cement, steel and other industries, have taken the opportunity to order spare and wear parts for their Aumund machinery earlier than planned, in order to be prepared for the time after the coronavirus crisis, when production capacities will be increased again. To make sure that spare and wear parts are readily available, Aumund has organised its spare parts logistics over five locations. Customers in more than 120 countries of the world are sure to receive their required spare parts either from Rheinberg in Germany, Atlanta in the USA, São Paulo in Brazil, Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, or from Hong Kong.
