ZF transmissions

Founded in 1915 by Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin and engineer Alfred von Soden-Fraunhofen, ZF Friedrichshafen AG originated with a mission to develop and produce gears for Zeppelin airships. This foundation in precision engineering and innovation quickly propelled the company into the automotive market, where it has since become a global technology leader. For over a century, ZF has been driven by a commitment to shaping the future of mobility, a vision that has seen it evolve from a specialized gear factory into a comprehensive supplier of systems for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and industrial technology.

The founders' vision was to create a company that would be at the forefront of technological advancement. This has resulted in a vast and diverse product portfolio that includes driveline and chassis technology, active and passive safety systems, and, increasingly, solutions for electric mobility and autonomous driving. ZF's products are integral to a wide range of industries, including automotive, commercial vehicles, construction and agricultural machinery, marine propulsion, and even wind power, demonstrating the company's remarkable ability to adapt and innovate across multiple sectors.

From its headquarters in Friedrichshafen, Germany, ZF has established a formidable global presence. With approximately 165,000 employees at 168 locations in 32 countries, the company has a worldwide network of production facilities, research and development centers, and service locations. This extensive global footprint allows ZF to serve its diverse customer base with tailored solutions and localized support, ensuring that its legacy of innovation continues to drive the future of mobility on a global scale.
