Zeppelin is a company rich in tradition whose name and origins go back to the great airship pioneer Ferdinand Count Zeppelin, who contributed the company he founded in 1908 to the Zeppelin Foundation that is headquartered in Friedrichshafen, Germany. The Zeppelin Group is still owned by the foundation to this day. Zeppelin Group has its headquarters in Garching near Munich and has been the exclusive sales and service partner of Caterpillar Inc. of Peoria, Illinois since 1954 – a partnership that has since expanded from Germany to numerous countries in Central and Eastern Europe.
The Zeppelin Group employs some 6,500 people at 190 locations around the world and is projected to post revenues of 2.5 billion euros in 2008. The Zeppelin Group’s subsidiary Zeppelin Power Systems GmbH & Co. KG is responsible for the sales and service of MaK and Caterpillar marine and other engines.
