This already strong competitive position will be expanded even further. The encouraging development of the AFP Group since the takeover in December 2012 based on the succesfull roll-out of the investment programme, the increase of process efficiency through focused cost-reduction measures and the overall business growth combined with current market developments and consolidations, open up further development opportunities for the AFP Group.
AFP Group’s customers and the Group itself benefit both in short and long term from the membership to the Montana Tech Compo-nents Group, stable ownership structure, experienced team and lean management.
Quick and efficient response to market requirements and challenges as well as the ability to recognise and the power to seize business opportunities are the pillars of AFP Group's success.
We, Michael Tojner and Martin Ohneberg, work closely and suc-cessfully together for over 15 years now and assure best possible sup-port to the local management and further development of the AFP Group.
Business growth, both with existing and new customers and pro-ducts as well as further increase of the profitability and competitive-ness of the AFP Group will secure its long-term success.
