Turnkey plant engineering
From a local container manufacturer to an international engineering company
As a world-leading plant engineering company specializing in the handling of high-quality bulk materials, Zeppelin Systems is established in the plastics, rubber and tire, chemical, and food industries. We provide all services in plant engineering from a single source — ranging from basic engineering and in-house production of components and control technology to final assembly and comprehensive after-sales service.
Since we manage every project phase in-house, all your contacts come from one company. This minimizes interfaces and ensures a smooth project flow.

This is us
More than 1,900 employees—most of them highly qualified process engineers and technicians—work with passion and perfectionist ingenuity until the plant runs optimally for our customers. Backed by the world’s largest technical center network for bulk materials and drawing on over 70 years of experience in plant engineering, we continuously seek the best solutions and develop innovative processes and new technologies.

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.
