The result of the new development is a 42% reduction in abrasive consumption and a 24% reduction in energy consumption with increased quality and repeatability. The lower manufacturing tolerances of the new systems have made it possible to process the smallest Parts with great attention to detail. ZELL Systemtechnik presents the first flexible transport system made of 100% plastic on the market, which is also 100% compatible with the familiar system.

Founded in 2008, ZELL Metalltechnik GmbH focuses on the development and production of Part carrier systems. This is the birth of the business unit "ZELL Systemtechnik".
In September 2000, Josef Zell died unexpectedly at the age of only 48 after suffering a heart attack. Ingo Zell then took over the company at the age of 28 and continued to run it as a sole proprietorship with his wife Claudia. In 2005, the company was renamed ZELL Oberflächentechnik GmbH & Co. KG.
Zell grows and in 1996 the first own new building is built. Josef Zell develops and builds rotary transfer machines based on the injector principle, barrel machines and various special machines. A decisive factor for the steady growth and success of the company is that all these production lines are developed and manufactured in-house.
In 1991, Josef Zell founded Zell Oberflächentechnik in Volkersheim, Germany. With two rotary shot blasting machines developed and built by himself and two employees, he ventured into self-employment. The first customers came from the automotive supply industry for the deburring and cleaning of steel Parts.
