AMF

Manufacturer overview

AMF, Andreas Maier Fellbach, was founded as a lock manufacturer in Fellbach, Germany, in 1890. The company entered workpiece and tool clamping in 1951, which developed into its principal technical focus. Its headquarters remain in Fellbach.

The portfolio includes mechanical, hydraulic and other clamping systems, toggle clamps and zero-point workholding, alongside automation-related components. The zero-point system introduced in 2004 reflects the company's emphasis on reducing setup work and organizing repeatable machine processes. AMF's products are relevant to fixture construction, machine building and automotive production, where a component must be held in a defined position throughout an operation. Its distinction is therefore process-oriented workholding expertise, rather than ordinary bench-tool supply, while locks and tightening tools remain part of its wider manufacturing history.
