From the Zeppelin Foundation to global drive solutions
Zeppelin Power Systems is part of the Zeppelin Group and the Zeppelin Foundation, which was founded in 1908 and traces its roots back to Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. In 1954, Zeppelin obtained the service and sales rights for Caterpillar engines in Germany and many other countries. Today, the Zeppelin Group includes the business units Construction Equipment Germany/Austria, International Construction Equipment, Rental, Plant Engineering, and Power Systems.
In 2007, the independent business unit Zeppelin Power Systems GmbH was founded, with its headquarters in Hamburg and branches in Achim, Cologne, Leipzig, Munich, Bremen, Duisburg, Frankfurt and Ulm.
Zeppelin Power Systems now distributes drive and energy systems based on Caterpillar products and other industrial partners in Germany and Europe. Our service and sales locations for Caterpillar products cover Germany, Austria, Armenia, Denmark, Greenland, Sweden, Slovakia, Tajikistan, the Czech Republic, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. Additionally, for the service of MaK engines, we operate in Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Estonia, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Georgia, Iceland, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, Hungary, and Cyprus.
The success story of Zeppelin and Caterpillar
In the early 1950s, the renowned American engine and construction equipment manufacturer Caterpillar Inc. was looking for a strong partner for the German market. The choice was Zeppelin, and thus began a strategic partnership that developed into a success story over the decades.
90 years of progress with Caterpillar
For nearly 90 years, Caterpillar has been driving sustainable change worldwide and enabling progress across all continents. As a leading manufacturer of construction and underground mining machinery, diesel and gas engines, industrial gas turbines, and diesel-electric locomotives, Caterpillar is today an indispensable player in the global industry.
