Local business

Aurora stands for healthy entrepreneurship. We aim to leave a positive impression every day,  in everything we do: ranging from used, raw materials to lasting relationships. In doing so, the local production ecosystem is our focus. By doing business locally, we tackle the right challenges at the right level. For example, the cautious return of the manufacturing industry in Europe. This excites us at Aurora.
