With the Courage to Grow

How ZOLLER Opened up International Markets

Swabian, down-to-earth, still connected to its home region - even 80 years after it was founded, nothing has changed at ZOLLER. The family business has remained true to its roots. However, without the move to open up markets in other countries, ZOLLER would not have become a technology leader with a presence at 85 locations in 62 countries.

Internationalization

Alfred Zoller took on his first orders for a customer in Switzerland just a few years after founding his workshop. The strategic expansion of the international business followed much later and Switzerland was one of the first foreign branches. At the end of the 1980s, foreign business contributed significantly to ZOLLER's success. In Austria, ZOLLER became the market leader within ten years.

The major markets: USA, China, India

In 1997, Christoph Zoller founded the US subsidiary ZOLLER Inc. In 2002, his brother Alexander came to the USA. In 2004, Christoph Zoller began to develop two growth markets in Asia. The company started with offices in Pune/India and Shanghai/China. 16 years later, ZOLLER moved into the newly constructed building of its subsidiary in China. Today, around 400 people work in our worldwide branches.
