History

The NAF was founded on 24 March 1960 by the then mayor of Neunkirchen and member of Bavarian state parliament, Georg Hemmerlein, and the entrepreneur Kaspar Lochner from Munich, Germany. In 1968 the production of planetary axles started. In 1970, the research and development office in Munich was opened by Ernst Auer. In 1974 Helmut Weyhausen took over the company. Since 1976, bogie axles are manufactured.
In 2017/2018, a new paint shop and a five-storey office building were added to the existing factory. The newly built painting shop is fully automated, works with the latest generation of painting robots and enables the painting of axles weighing up to 6 tonnes.
In 2021, the ground-breaking ceremony was held for a new test centre, which was completed in 2023.
In 2024, the construction of a new building complex started. The complex will host a new canteen as well as offices. The completion of the constructions works is planned für December 2025.
