Global fan, motor, and drive technology manufacturer with 5,800+ employees
ZIEHL-ABEGG is a €1B+ revenue industrial equipment maker operating 17 production plants and 30 subsidiaries across 100+ countries. Their tech footprint is almost entirely SAP—S/4HANA, CRM, FI/CO, Fiori, BTP—plus PTC Windchill for product lifecycle management, indicating a mid-stage digital transformation focused on ERP consolidation and supply-chain visibility rather than new platform adoption. Active projects center on S/4HANA rollout across international units, PLM implementation, and shopfloor digitalization, while pain points cluster around process standardization, lean-system expansion, and supplier/sourcing complexity—typical of industrial firms scaling globally.
ZIEHL-ABEGG designs and manufactures ventilation systems, electric motors, and drive technology for HVAC, elevators, and medical imaging applications. Founded in 1910, the company is family-owned and headquartered in Künzelsau, Germany, with ~3,000 employees in Southern German production facilities and another 2,800+ distributed across global operations. The product portfolio spans approximately 30,000 SKUs sold through 114 sales locations. The organization is mid-sized but operationally complex: manufacturing represents the largest hiring category, followed by engineering and operations roles, with a seniority mix skewed toward mid-level and senior IC positions. Current hiring is concentrated in Germany and decelerating.
Primarily SAP ecosystem (S/4HANA, CRM, FI/CO, Fiori, BTP, Cloud Platform Integration) plus PTC Windchill for PLM, Microsoft Office, Windows Server, Active Directory, SQL Server, ABAP, Linux, and OWASP ZAP for security testing.
