The company’s strategic family- and life stage-conscious HR policy has received prestigious recognition

The Zeppelin Group’s management holding company, Zeppelin GmbH, has just positively passed a second berufundfamilie audit, while the Construction Equipment EU, Rental, Power Systems, and Plant Engineering strategic business units in Germany have been awarded the "berufundfamilie audit" certificate for the first time. The quality seal represents exceptionally high HR policy standards. The patrons of the audit are the German Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth, and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. While the announcement that the management holding company and its strategic business units had won the award was made in March, the official presentation of the certificate recently took place in Berlin.

The Zeppelin Group is expanding the nationwide presence of Zeppelin Plant Engineering’s business unit Quality Service. By doing so and in order to stay abreast of the constant developments in aerospace expertise and the growing service spectrum, the business unit has been renamed Zeppelin Aviation & Industrial Service. In June 2018, the company will open its doors at a new location near the Cologne Bonn airport, where various facilities such as a modern training center for the aviation industry are being installed.

From May 18 to November 4, 2018, the company will be showcasing its integrated range of services at the "Innovations! Destination: Future" exhibition

The event is all about the future of the construction industry and what contribution the Zeppelin Group can make in shaping it. Visitors to the exhibition in Friedrichshafen will be able to make their way interactively and digitally through a virtual Zeppelin world of construction, from planning and setting up a construction site to fitout and commissioning. The Zeppelin Group offers its customers solutions from a one-stop shop. And, for visitors to the exhibition, the company will be putting on attractions including a whole digital construction site experience.
