From a Small Business to Big Impacts The history of our family business goes far back in time. Franz Zingerle, a trained machinist, founded the ZINGERLEMETAL company in 1948. Today, 75 years later, the second and third generations are leading it under the new umbrella brand ZINGERLE GROUP in harmony with tradition and innovative thinking. Almost 400 employees at ten subsidiaries and two production sites work every day to fulfill all customer wishes.
