Our company history
Pump technology for industry, home and garden
Pumps from Zehnder stand for durability and quality worldwide. It was the entrepreneurial vision of the company's founder, Jürgen Zehnder, in particular, that made Zehnder Pumpen a renowned specialist for pump technology in the commercial and domestic sectors. The company was, for example, one of the first to launch an innovative sewage raising unit with a plastic collection tank.
Furthermore, he also laid the foundation for the company's continued focus on growth through innovation after his retirement from the operative business. He always held his entire team accountable for the development of new products and product quality. And this continuity guarantees that branded products from Zehnder Pumpen today enjoy an excellent reputation in Germany and around the world.
