The Company

What We Do

In addition to the ZÖLLER-KIPPER headquarters in Mainz, the ZOELLER GROUP produces refuse collection vehicles and electric and hydraulic lifter systems in eight other European countries. At ZOELLER, you get the vehicle and lifter from a single source. Size, volume, drive technology and lifter systems – we offer you a comprehensive range to suit your requirements and can even customize them if necessary. Our driving force: passion for technology, enthusiasm for innovation and enjoyment of sophisticated products. We don’t just want to get them on the road, we also ensure that everything runs smoothly for our customers at all times with training courses, maintenance contracts, emergency services and rental vehicles.

Vision & Values

For us as a family-run company, visions and values are particularly important: for generations, they have formed the basis for trusting cooperation and for our entrepreneurial success. They are the bond that unites all ZOELLER employees into a strong team.

Company History

For centuries, our ancestors threw their waste out of the window, and it was not until the end of the 19th century that they began to transport it away. The modern technology behind today’s waste collection vehicles was invented in the 1930s – by master mechanic Hans Zöller.
