About Zimmer Group
Zimmer Group is a German manufacturer of handling and automation components headquartered in Rheinau, in Baden-Württemberg. It was founded in 1980 as a small technical workshop — famously, in a converted cowshed — and grew by standardising the parts that sit at the end of a robot arm and around a production line. Its expertise is organised into six technology areas: handling technology, damping technology, linear technology, process technology, machine technology and systems technology. The catalogue includes more than 2,000 standardised grippers and robot accessories — pneumatic, electric and vacuum grippers, tool changers, rotary units and swivel modules — alongside products such as the PowerStop industrial shock-absorber series and clamping and braking elements for profile rail guides, a segment in which the company claims market leadership.
It also claims the world’s largest portfolio of safety-certified grippers for human-robot collaboration. The group remains an owner-managed family company, now in generational transition, and company coverage of its 45th anniversary puts the workforce at about 1,400 people, with its own branches in around 20 countries and a much wider sales network of branches and dealers. For partners and integrators, Zimmer Group is a one-stop component source for building robot cells and handling systems without engineering every gripper from scratch.
