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 passed away unexpectedly at the age of only 48 after a heart attack. Following this, Ingo Zell 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 is growing, and in 1996, the first own new building is constructed. Josef Zell develops and builds rotary indexing systems based on the injector principle, drum systems, and various special systems. A decisive factor for the continuous growth and success of the company is that all these production systems 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.
