Ziehl-Abegg is an internationally active German manufacturer of fans, electric motors, and control systems based in Künzelsau. The company is one of the technological pioneers in air, climate, and drive technology and is particularly known for energy-efficient solutions in industry, building technology, and transportation. For more than a century, Ziehl-Abegg has stood for high engineering expertise, consistent innovation, and a clear focus on sustainability. Ziehl-Abegg products are used worldwide in demanding applications, such as ventilation and air conditioning systems for large buildings, industrial plants, elevator technology, and new mobility concepts. The company pursues a holistic approach in which mechanics, electronics, and software are closely interlinked.
Ziehl-Abegg was founded in 1910 by Emil Ziehl in Berlin. In the early years, the focus was on the development of electric drives. After the Second World War, the company moved its headquarters to Künzelsau, where its central development and production sites are still located today. Over the decades, Ziehl-Abegg has continuously expanded its product portfolio and specialized in energy-efficient technologies from an early stage. Today, the company is active worldwide and represented in numerous countries with its own branches. Ziehl-Abegg supplies customers from a wide range of industries and is considered a technological trendsetter, particularly in the field of fan technology. Its international orientation enables it to meet global requirements with locally adapted solutions.
Ziehl-Abegg offers a wide range of services covering several key areas of technology. The focus is on fans and drive systems designed for high efficiency, low noise, and long service life. The company is particularly known for its development of EC technologies, which combine highly efficient motors with intelligent control systems. The typical product and solution portfolio includes:
Powerful drives for high payloads
Lift construction has been facing fundamental change for several years. Increasing payloads, limited space in existing buildings and growing demands f... Drives for high payloads
Elevator construction: Plastic sheathed ropes and compact drives
The development of modern lift systems is no longer determined solely by load capacity and speed. Efficiency, use of materials and global applicabilit... Modern elevator systems
A key feature of Ziehl-Abegg's corporate strategy is its consistent focus on energy efficiency. Fans and drives are designed to consume significantly less energy than conventional systems while delivering the same performance. This is particularly relevant in building technology, where ventilation and air conditioning systems account for a significant proportion of total energy consumption. In addition, Ziehl-Abegg is increasingly involved in the field of electromobility. Electric drive solutions, for example for urban transport vehicles or special applications, complement the classic portfolio. Here, too, the focus is on the combination of efficiency, reliability, and intelligent control.
At Ziehl-Abegg, sustainability is not an isolated issue, but an integral part of the entire value chain. The company focuses on resource-saving production processes, durable products and materials, and technologies that permanently reduce energy consumption during operation. At the same time, it invests heavily in research and development to develop new solutions for climate protection, energy efficiency, and sustainable mobility. With its combination of technological excellence, industrial experience, and clear environmental focus, Ziehl-Abegg occupies a special position in fan and drive technology and remains an important partner for industries that depend on efficient and sustainable solutions.
