Altenmarkt – on Bundesstraße 115 between Steyr and
Leoben, situated approximately one and half hours northwest of Graz.
The city is nestled in a forested area with a rich offering of
leisure-time activities (cross-country skiing, hiking, bicycling).
There are numerous inns and sights worth seeing in the vicinity;
the historic hammer works situated in the Enns valley is of particular
interest. A day trip to Graz, designated the cultural capital of
Europe in 2003, is well worth the effort, and promises to be a special experience.
Five companies in two different locations represent GF
Automotive in Austria. Four of these are based in Lower Austria

Georg Fischer GmbH & Co. KG is one of the companies in the
light metal pressure die casting segment with a total of four
