In the first 10 years, the number of Ziehl-Abegg employees in the country only grew from 0 to 40, but it highlights that in the last 8 years it has already increased from 40 to 230. That is why it was foreseen that by 2030 this company would have 800 people working. Hence the importance of the new headquarters of Ziehl-Abegg USA, as it will be responsible for North America and supporting eleven sales offices to serve the US, Mexico and Canadian markets.
Mirco Herrmann, U.S. Managing Director of Ziehl-Abegg, reported that "in addition to data centers, product application areas include heating and cooling systems, cleanrooms and agricultural systems."
