The people behind
the machines.
Flat hierarchies and a welcoming environment define us. From internships and apprenticeships to permanent positions, there are many ways to join us.
04 / Generations
Four generations.
One family.
Three generations of entrepreneurs have shaped ZECK in their own way. The fourth is already waiting in the wings.
1st generation
Michael Zeck
1891–1967
Founded the locksmith’s workshop in Scheßlitz in 1918 and laid the foundation for the company.
2nd generation
Fritz Zeck
1929–2021
Joined in 1947, earned his master craftsman’s certificate in 1953 and led ZECK into overhead line construction.
3rd generation
Michael Zeck
1966–present
Took over in 1992, built the plant in Burgellern and has led the company ever since.
4th generation
Moritz Zeck, Nikolas Zeck, Amelie Zeck
Nikolas Zeck has represented the fourth generation in the company since 2016; together with Moritz and Amelie Zeck it is waiting in the wings.
05 / Manifesto
Four sentences
that have not changed
since 1918.
Three generations, one understanding of work. The principles are not corporate values; they explain why we build what we build today.
Continuity
Three generations of family leadership since 1918. We stay for the long run where we understand what infrastructure needs — and what it does not.
Field use over marketing
We only sell machines we have seen on the route ourselves. Development starts at the project site, not in the presentation.
Precision from tradition
Craft precision, extended with mechatronics. Every component dimensioned, nothing left to guesswork. Welding to EN ISO 3834-2 and EN 15085-2 CL1 (TÜV SÜD).
In-house build over sourcing
Design, production, test stand and service in-house. Whoever builds the machine must know its limits.
06 / Awards
Recognition
instead of marketing.
