With a company history of over one hundred years comes responsibility. We, the employees, managers and owners of CHEMNITZER ZAHNRADFABRIK GmbH & Co. KG, therefore feel obliged to continue the company's success in the future. This can only be achieved together and with shared values and principles.

You can find out more about this in our quality management documents.


CHEMNITZER ZAHNRADFABRIK is a family-run business. How can you tell? By the way we work here: openly, directly, collaboratively and with genuine passion.

Flat hierarchies
Ideas don’t have to go through official channels. Anyone with a good idea puts it forward – no matter what level they’re at.

Rooted in Chemnitz
We’re a Chemnitz-based company – with everything that entails: down-to-earthness, reliability and Saxon pride in what we produce here.

The courage to be independent
As a family-run business, we make decisions that we believe are right in the long term – not those that happen to be in vogue at the moment.


We start every day with a question that had no answer yesterday. Our design engineers, manufacturing specialists, quality inspectors, programmers and procurement staff work every day to solve drive system problems that others consider unsolvable.

This doesn’t happen in quiet, isolated offices, but through dialogue – between design and production, between sales and R&D, between management and the team. Short lines of communication, direct dialogue, genuine collaboration.

Anyone who works here knows what they’re working towards: products that are used in machines all over the world – and which simply have to work.

Independence calls for the courage to do something different.
This courage is one of our many strengths.
