BORBET Austria has been a pioneer in aluminum wheel production since 1984. Learn more about our 40-year success story, significant milestones, and the company's vision for the future.
Together through generations, together into the future.
It all began in 1984 with the founding of Austria Alu-Guss GmbH in Ranshofen. Since then, high-quality aluminum wheels have been rolling off the production line here. A significant milestone followed in 1996 when Peter Wilhelm Borbet took over the company, paving the way for BORBET to enter the European automotive industry. Today, the plant supplies renowned car manufacturers such as BMW, Audi, Mercedes-AMG, Ford, and Daimler with high-quality aluminum wheels.
Managing Director Helmuth Huber has been involved in the remarkable development of the site since 1995. In 1998, the pioneering “AAG2000” project was launched, making the company a pioneer in the industry. In 2009, AAG was renamed BORBET Austria. Today, the “BORBET Austria 2025” project is looking to the future.
The success of the Ranshofen plant is based not only on technological innovations such as smart casting and gloss milling, but above all on the visionary leadership of Helmuth Huber. His ability to steer developments over the long term and motivate the workforce has made BORBET Austria what it is today—a location that sets standards.
At the big family celebration at the beginning of August, Helmuth Huber (Managing Director) and Margot Borbet (Chairwoman of the Foundation Board and Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board of BORBET Austria) paid tribute to the company's 40-year success story. In their speeches, they highlighted the company's milestones and the commitment of its employees. A special moment was the honoring of 14 colleagues who have been with the company since the beginning. These and other program items for young and old made the day unforgettable.
