International. Ziehl-Abegg's sales in the first half of 2017 increased by 12 percent to €268 million. Positive development in the field of ventilation technology as well as propulsion technology contributed to this result. The industrial company traditionally generates organic growth, that is, without acquisitions.
"Customers are taking our energy-saving products extremely well in every market," says Peter Fenkl, Chairman of the Executive Board of Ziehl Abegg SE, explaining the current sales figures of the Künzelsau fan and motor manufacturer.
For Ziehl-Abegg, as an industrial company with a high degree of vertical integration, this is a major challenge. Especially since the intake of orders has increased by 15 percent over the previous year. "We are looking forward to the inauguration of our new building for the manufacture of EC energy-saving motors and fans," says Fenkl. The first machines will be moved a few kilometers away to the production plant of the Hohenlohe Industrial Park by the end of the year.
Ziehl-Abegg is expanding its Kupferzell plant in the industrial park which is located directly on Europe's main A6 traffic artery. This will bring additional advantages in terms of logistics and delivery times. A total of €28 million will be invested in modern buildings and machinery.
