Company History

The roots of the company trace back to the era of manufacturing the great airships of Count Zeppelin. At that time, the foundations for today’s success were laid by acquiring outstanding expertise in aluminum processing. Not only did Zeppelin’s aluminum silos quickly gain an excellent reputation in the market, but the portfolio also expanded to include other key components for the bulk material industry. Today, Zeppelin Systems is part of the globally operating Zeppelin Group and is recognized as a market leader in bulk material plant engineering worldwide.
