Our Company
“Leading technology is the product of expertise and passion. Our innovations drive movement – with safety, comfort and sustainability.”
Who we are and what we do
Headquartered in Aichwald, southern Germany, AMK Automotive GmbH & Co. KG stands for innovative vehicle air supply solutions. We have been developing, producing and integrating air supply components and systems for over two decades.
Our flair for technology has made us a respected, well-established Tier 1 supplier for numerous prominent OEMs. Thanks to our long-standing experience and expertise, we can also offer system-level smart actuator solutions, which regulate air distribution and interaction between the reservoir, valve block and air strut via hardware and software. These smart actuator compressors are integrated into the vehicle’s control unit.
Our Electronically Controlled Air Suspension System, or ECAS, goes a step further: in addition to the smart actuator solution described above, the system can also control the height sensors on the vehicle.
