RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT

The result of extraordinary developments for innumerable application techniques, in all our business areas, is the result of a grown base of highly qualified know-how and a unique technological competence of our well over 300 engineers and technicians. In our development center InVent at our headquarters in Künzelsau, we research and develop innovative high-tech concepts for the most efficient technology of tomorrow and the future. We were the first to use external rotor motors. The first with fully die-cast rotors. Developed the first fans with integrated high-efficiency motors (ECblue). We pioneered gearless elevator machines and developed the first biomimetic fan design. We created aerodynamics with the latest high performance materials combined with the latest ECblue technology.
Biomimetic analogies have been used for many years in the course of dynamically advancing new developments. Here, we are specifically looking for structures in nature which could be of importance as technical models. Through the findings of biomimicry, nature provides us with ideas for sustainable innovations. Here, secrets and principles of nature are deciphered and used as models for the development of new technological solutions. Thanks to the high development performance and the excellent general conditions ZIEHL-ABEGG is always one step ahead of the market's wishes.
